What have you done to your Landie today.

Got a nice new knobbly tyre after wrecking a perfectly good one last weekend, Ignored the ****ing rain & changed the flexible hose & bled it so now the rear brakes work. Sorted (bodged) the diff lock mechanism, a missing pin from the u shaped thing was making it mostly useless. Went for a bit of a drive, got stuck a few times & noticed the drivers side window keeps jamming half way up. I suppose i"ll be having a look at that next weekend then.

Took most of the dashboard out to fix electrics and source a leak....and found these.....those that know what they are should have found memories

Checked the diff oil levels. Rear spot on front worryingly low !

Modified my relocation cones from chassis mount to axle mount .. dead easy, just took a bit of thinking first ..

Replaced the seized hinges on the Nearside, the bottom one was a b****** I ended up drilling the pins to get the thing off
completed my replacement seats I got off fleabay, frames stripped and repainted
they look so much better
And washed her off

I cut through the hinge with a grinder so as I cut the heads off the screws, pulled hinges off and what was left of the screws undid by hand

Finished rubbing down and painting a secondhand bonnet thats going on my exmod 110. Bargain at £20 and a bit of elbow grease!!

Fitted power steering reservoir and spare master cylinder and bled brakes , out in the daylight for a drive round at last

Sold mate, just getting it ready for mot then it'll be gone. Not far away though, a mate who lives close by is having it, he's been looking for a good one for a while and the chassis , bulk head etc is mint on this one.

I can concentrate on getting the rest of mine painted blue then

Picked bumper up off Ebay for my fender. De rusted front chassis irons Por 15 and topcoated. Will fit bumper tomorrow.

Put the winter wheels away today, refitted the normal ones. Just watch it start snowing next week!
Then I had the idea that I would use the 12s towing socket at the back to power my T-Max compressor, just to get the tyre pressures right. Now I've got to find the fuse which has probably blown.
And before anybody asks, no, I'm not going to say what pressures I've set, statements like that can start wars!

nip it up. no adjustment required.
assuming this is the problem of course.

Gave the wagon a wash in the boootfiful weather
Fitted new spring slider units and sanded back and painted rear crossmember as it was getting flakey pealy!

I had all these great ideas of what I wanted to do today but after a good BBQ lunch and several bottles of wine and beers in the 20C degree sunshine I decided I would leave it till tomorrow.

After fitting the Mantec wheel carrier yesterday and adjusting the door latch today, there is ZERO play in the rear door when it's closed, Success Checked levels under bonnet too

Thats what I done with mine. . So much beter!

Changed brake fluid, spotted slightly loose front right wheel bearing and front turrets looking a bit scabby and need changing - one step forward - two back!
