What have you done to your Landie today.

Looks like spring has arrived here.-2c first thing in the morning, reaching a high of 18c. Time to clear out the garage and do all those jobs one does in the spring, several trips to the tip I think. Then I can get to my tools and start doing a few jobs on my Defender.
Grease up, oil change, check out all my camping gear ready for my trip to Morocco in five weeks time. Work out how to carry and store all the stuff I will need.

Does anyone know where to get a bumper protector for LR outside of ebay and amazon?

need to secure my exhaust because its rattling badly.

Does anyone know if there are any adjustments I can make to the transfer box, im not quite getting enough travel to get it into low range, and if i set it up so i can get it in low, i cant get it to stay in high range.

If that makes sense.......

finished welding and painting the sills,and just bought a full set of brake pads. somat to do tomorow

Make sure there is no dried mud/dirt preventing it from moving

Fitted my new exhaust after some modifications. Standard 2.5TD exhaust is about 4" too long in the middle.





Put on my crude alternator bracket on.



Put second coat of black on my battery box.

Connected up my alternator electrically so I can test it :s

Noticed that my rocker cover is ****ing oil out the top! Hoping a bit of PTFE will fix it.

been rubbing down panels ready for spraying, rebuild going well getting tub sprayed next week

please say those aren't the finished brake pipes with all the good finishing you've done on the rest of the build?? or you are gonna trim em to the right length??

cheers steve

It is the right length just had to lift it for something. P clip to go in the middle.

spent a couple of hours this afternoon getting the rear arches covered in high build primer before flatting em back and spraying the first couple of coats of satin....





even found time between coats to drill n weld in the EGT fitting to the top of the downpipe ready to plumb in the gauge....



cheers steve

I have finally got my replacement gearbox & transfer box in round two tomorow putting the insides back in then hopefully testdrive tomorow

Finished throwing paint at it. Tomorrow is a 'Where did I put that bastard bolt' day

was going to fit my new gearbox mounts today but i've got the wrong ones so sorted out the dodgy wiring of my headunit loom. all soldered up with heatshrink tubing alot tidier and no more lack of headunit now hopefully

Put a scoop of Cotswold Chippings in the back, Probably weighed about 600Kg . & went & hid whilst BB shoveled it all out on his lonesome..

Then filled it with a load of Branches & crap & took it to local recycling center.

Gave up on it
