What have you done to your Landie today.

removed auto box to fix leaking gasket between pump housing and main box,only pas box and ace leak to do now

Took her "greenlaning" (unclassified county road marked as an ORPA). It was awesome! Will post a thread in the 'laning section.

Diff.

sorted loose key barrel on drivers door which had gradually been working its way out. Being as I'd got the door card off I sprayed everything with WD and lubed the winder mechanism which had been literally winding me up (no pun intended ) every time I lowered the window it juddered down rather than a nice smooth action, marginally better now.

Nice idea. :scratching_chin:

The glass itself moved beautifully on its own, but the mechanism is definitely on its last legs.

Cheers anyhoo.

Swapped out the rear lights for ones with indicators in -

Can then take the rear bumper off and still move it around safely ...

Mine was putting out a bit of black smoke when under load. Changed the air filter which seemed to sort out the problem, but just for good measure I changed the diesel filter and ran some injector treatment through it. Job done.
I love Land Rovers, so easy to sort out.

I hate Land Rovers, just sorted one thing out and another comes to light.
I have a whistling sound coming from the turbo somewhere. It comes when the turbo kicks in under load. Can't find any leaks when I rev the Landy up and it's stationary. Think I have also lost a little power when going up hills.

I suppose I will have to wait till it becomes more obvious before I will be able to find the leak.

Picked up my fuel tank from the shot blasters.

Hit it again....

I cant complain really: that is a rare occurrence.

One of those times when I'm happy to buy something from a company

I managed to win some Station Wagon sides and roof for the total sum of £40 off ebay! Result.

With the help of all you wonderful people on here, I sorted the Three Amigos on my Disco 2. New SVS fitted with no problems.

she must have been a big un D.

Started stripping bits to replace a footwell and found more rust. This led to more stripping and more rust

The rusty footwell is starting to look like the best bit!

Opened the drivers side window, heard a clunk, couldn't shut it again! Storm on the way, stripped the door card and window mechanism in a field, managed to get the motor to operate again and the window to shut just before the rain!

Daren't open the window as it might not shut again. Off to look for a "how to fix it"
