I miss read that, and thought you meant when the engine was cold !!!!! Which I thought was odd......

Fitted a new water pump

Back out with the dogs, & Missus to old quarry, dogs had good run. Had a bit of fun on wet turf,rocks & mud, lovely. I need a couple of tyres, can't complain, they've done 20k miles. I was going to change to more off road biased pattern (I'm running Nankang SP5s), but I don't think I need to now. I'm having enough trouble trying to get stuck with these, keep failing miserably.
I'm a fraud, can't fill the forum with pictures of broken oily bits or obscure electrical connectors. My windows have been done, I've got a power box on, the sunroof doesn't rain in, my transmission works. Sorry everyone.

Gearbox has been a bit whiney lately so thought I'd change the oil.
Read Hippo's instructions, whipped out to Maplin's and bought a thermometer.
On the way back, indicator started playing up - I had previously fixed a broken spring connector by building it up with solder.
Got home and bought new bulb holder on Ebay.
Then realised the thermometer was the wrong one :doh:

Managed to do a day's off-roading and make it home, complete with car, the same day!

Put the head back on, However forgot to put the cambelt rear cover on before I put the cam pulleys back on :doh:

Fitted the new alternator and started to think about why my fbh doesn't work

Spent a shed load of money with Paddocks buying a new Diff, VCU and bearings as bell engineering didn't have a diff ready for 2 weeks and I need one as of now!

Renovated the tailgate latch which become flaky.
Stripped actuator assembly, Tri-Flo'd it up, fitted back in tailgate, been fine so far!

Re-seated the tailgate window seal which was pinched at the corner, so hopefully that will stop the water ingress (membrane was fine), not sure if it will stay re-seated, but worth a go.

Indicator bulb holder arrived in the post, different colour to the existing one but I don't suppose that will matter.
Will try it when it stops raining.

Not quite today,,more like friday but been away so had nt posted,,

Changed plugs cos it was running a bit rough and had nt been serviced for a long time by the looks of it,, started it up and promptly either put a hole in a piston,,dropped a valve or maybe even an instant hg failure......... not a happy bunny right now

Had IRD changed to a 4WD one as mine had been changed to 2WD.
