Changed leather gaiters and then caused myself a panic when lost power on trip.

Went to change gear crunch sound and then nothing stopped scratched head selected low box everything ok selected high box and away I went no probs 100 mile round trip. Remembered when fitting the transfer box gaiter I had moved the lever which is really stiff I think I haven't fully engaged it in high before setting off and hey presto issues I got. I hope that is all it was anyway and hope no damage cause for the few 100 m it took to get to a stop.
 
Found more of my drive shaft clunking , thats shagged me thinks:D

Stoged a patch on the front off side outrigger. Wanting to get a new chassis later this year so a stoge job was good enough.
 
Fitted a new light & horn stalk switch on the steering wheel. Typical made in China replacement didn't fit. Had to grind part of the holder off.
Also fitted a new temperature sender unit. Third on in two years. This time this one didn't come in a blue box so I have high hopes.
 
Driven it to work - a bit unusual for me but it was too slippery for my usual transport - and consequently discovered that the handbrake is unadjusting itself AGAIN, with the MOT appointment set for later in the week :(
 
I took my spare wheel carrier off again and filed the bolt holes in the bottom hinge into a slot shape so that I'd got as little more adjustment. Bingo. It sits at the right height to connect to the back door now. I've also cleaned the chassis a bit more by applying he pressure washer to all the doles to hose the dirt out from inside. I'll leave that to dry for a few days and put some more Dinitrol on at the weekend. I began drilling out some of the sheared bolts on the fuel tank plate, but it was not going well so I knocked the captive nuts off with a hammer and chisel and put real nuts and bolts on instead.
 
The tarps just there because I haven't been arsed to remove it since putting the roof on :eek:

Heres a paste over from my build thread;




Anyway after a few hours of toiling and struggling in the ****ing wet I got the axles completed and three of the four brakes un stuck. Passenger front one is still seized up but a little tug forward with the disco should free it up :)


Anyway some progress pics :D
