What have you done to your Landie today.

Just ordered a new Rad for my Defender, thought I would also change the heater Matrix whilst I have my hands dirty and all the Anti freeze out.

Still can't do anything but look at the gap where the clutch plate should be.
Good news is the supplier is sending out a replacement.

got all the junk off the passenger seat and footwell and stuck it in the garage.


might empty the tub next

Found out my new door seals keep the water out. But also keep the water coming off my soaking jacket and trousers from escaping. Will it ever stop raining?

Whilst STILL waiting for the clutch plate… put new master cylinder together with pedal box and attached to bulkhead. Worried when I forgot to take off pipe fitting adapter . [emoji33][emoji15]. Also fitted a wading plug breather hose. Received new sender unit, only to find out they never sent the ring washer and seal.

started sorting my polybush kit. got the spare radius arms sorted ready to switch over. just got to get the rest of the bushes switched over. know what I'm doing this weekend

Led spot light bulbs fitted bring on night time

Banged my head on the freakin chassis multiple times. Damn it.

I am looking for some small diameter spot lights to mount to the a frame of a winch bumper. Does anyone have any good recommendations?? Looking for something nice a bright!

Cheers

I'm guessing I will definitely need it at some point will come and see the finished product soon as I get 5 mins

Been doing some electrical tinkering. Got a bonnet open warning light rigged up on the dash. The Llama 'cab tilt unlocked' light seemed the most logical spare to use.

refitted cv to axle bolts.

found small hole in passenger floor - now have large hole in passenger floor . welder time again .

Got the polybush set fitted. Took it for a drive and had rear steer. Re checked the bolts and found a couple had settled. Torqued them back up and called it a night. Should drive a lot smoother now with no more clunking and rear steer

Yesterday i fitted a new DV ( cb antenna mount ) to my winch bumper then decided to pull the engine as i couldn't get any room to sort the power steer pump bracket holes out on the engine, the winch bumper came in handy again as i couldn't get the engine over the bumper so dropped the engine on the bumper and re-positioned the chain to lift it over so tomorrow i will use the bumper as a bench to work on the engine as i am in work today

Then i set about making a locking tool so i could undo the damper bolt using my new bench drill, came off one of the engine to gearbox stud holes and a clutch pressure plate bolt hole to lock the flywheel in place whilst undoing the damper bolt worked a treat the nuts in pic 5 are just there to keep everything together when the tool is stored

got the last bit of electrics working, drivers side side light earth connection in bulb holder badly corroded, gave it a good sand and the light shineth.

drivers side headlight dodgy connections where the feed splits to go to the lights

so the s3 is fully operational regards engine and electrics. can start working toward mot readiness
