What have you done to your Landie today.

just been having a nosey, and you can also remotly immobilise the engine too via a text

Cant wait to read the cinglish manuel though

Hacked up the seat box, made up some rear tub repair panels and riveted them in, screwed the handbrake drum back on and made a plan for tomorrow

Oh I expect the riveting to go from taking me 2 hours to taking all day :doh: rivets hate me!

Don't expect the clutch bleeding to go to plan either

Fan belt snapped this morning, 10 mins to fit a new one and back on the road

Was hoping it would last until the engine came out

Stuck my new drivers seat base in. Old one was held together with duct tape and filled with a couple of old tshirts and a yellow car wash sponge.

Valve clearances today. It even went to plan...... She's almost purring now

Took mine for a spin to the isle of widget yesterday. Getting off the ferry I was suddenly confronted with no turbo. After driving to seaview with no turbo I popped the bonnet up to find that the ferries engine had unscrewed the wastegate rod. 30 seconds later and I was back to full pulling power. Note to self that the lock nut is there for a reason. :doh::doh::doh:

fitted slave, messed with slam panel, fitted drivers manifold and gasket, removed the ****ty old throttle linkage and did a little general tidying

I`m more looking along these lines,
or would have been if it was the right fred ..sorry

An odd thing happened today I went out in the 90, with the lights on 'cos of the fog, when I pulled up and turned the ignition off the engine kept running. When I turned the lights off the engine stopped. Tried it several times and the it's still doing it?? some how I must be getting a feed from the lights switch back to the ignition. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone got a clue as to where to start looking for the solution.

Sounds like what he said ^^...

Chaffed wire or dicky earth... might be in lighting switch or ignition tho ...

The two new prop yokes, nuts & bolts fo the 200tdi failed to arrive from Paddocks. Despite the pouring rain (and having a cold) rashly decided to remove the front prop, in the hope the courier would eventually show up. It was the first time I've ever done this job & mostly it were a pain in the ass. To cut a long & very wet story short, the courier was a no show & we cannibalised a 300tdi prop (spare from a friends defender 300tdi conversion) Anyway, no more strange squealing noises & no more vibration. Celebrated by driving a mountain trail on the way home.

Greased her nipples and ensured she is well lubed.

brought 40L of petrol to go in her for the afternoon out tomorrow

Went for a drive around the island yesterday. Had a mosey around the needles batteries and then finished off the day with scampi and chips from my favourite chippy whilst watching the sun go down.
