What have you done to your Landie today.

Discovered I'll be keeping the 90 for a while & fitting the 200Tdi injun outta the disco, into it

Nearly finished a full service. Emptied oil out, did all the plugs, fuel filter, air filter, pollen filters, ignition leads etc etc. Only to find out that my oil filter remover is still at her dads

So now i gotta drive a 200 mile round trip in her bloody little micra before i can replace me filter and fill up with oil again.

Great sense of satisfaction knowing i've saved about £200 doing it meself tho.

Edit: On a side note, Plug 7 is a FARKING COW....cut 2 arms trying to get it out

no just the air distribution motor,the two blend motors are working great.

Dropped some very creamy looking gearbox oil out and put some fresh in and finally got the standard Disco fuel tank fitted which I bought ages ago.
The Disco did have a speshul alloy tank with a cutout in it for the PTO shaft to run through, it looked a right abortion and was a bit on the small side as well.
Needed a bit of fettling as the rear crossmember is different too which caused a small headache fabricating a rear mount for the tankstrap.
Just as well the 'new' tank came complete with the fuel pump/sender unit as the old one was so badly corroded it fell apart
Still got the PTO fitted but that will come off soon.

I know it's only a few quid, but thats not the point. My OCD and possessiveness wont let me just go and get a new one.

yep to fookin right they do
and usually when you need them most

Changed the engine oil and changed the oil in the diffs, running alot smoother now.

Took bessie on our first outing in the mud to bradford Parkwood Off Road Centre even tho i only have road tyres we drove the easy course and it was awsome (a mega bloke let me follow him) and all i can say is i wish i had started years ago the only drawback it took me an hour to clean her up i even got to go in a 110 v8 on the big mans course and that was out of this world (wading thro water and going up and down steep climbs)a totally mega day all round.....:cheer2:

Got the oil filter off, stuck on the new one, filled up, went out driving and all is well. No leaks or nuffink.

Didn't do nuffink to mine. I thought that as it's worked properly for 2 days running I better not tempt fate.

I tried to fit my snorkel but my bonnet cable has snapped, so I pressure washed the inside and cleaned & waxed the outside.

Steamed the rangie off underneath and then shoveled the rust up after.

oh and took it up to 4500 revs for the first time, gosh it goes and it sounds bloody lovely, might save up for some pertol and do it again sometime....
