subutteo and a pair of rollerskates

spent the weekend replacing worn bushes and rebuilding the handbrake as the adjuster was about as useful as a chocolate fireguard!

well, yesterday i managed to mangle the front end of the rangey, trying to do a 360 in a space of about 10ft sq( id towed a non runner up the drive an had to get the rangey at the back of the car,so that i wasnt blocked in), i put it into the bushes to get a bit more swing...only problem was there was a fooking huge branch been cut off at indicator height, a quick blip of the throttle and im now looking at a nice little job for the week nite...if i can get the bits at a SENSIBLE price.

ah well....**** happens

taking the rooftent off

I stood in front of mine, looked at the xfer box on the floor, the winch in the garage, the snorkel kit i still haven't fitted, and the lightbar with no lights on in it's box - took a deep breath.........


















........and went indoors for a cuppa instead.

if i had the bits i would be out working on mine now!

Technically yesterday, but was nackered and not on internet last night ..

Replaced rear centre brake pipe, front nearside brakepipe, removed, fettled and replaced seals in rear offside caliper and pistons, bled, replacing all old fluid, whole brake system down and now it feels like brakes should feel!

Cleaned offside headlight connections, re-set nearside headlight level, and cleaned then pressure washed all spilt brake fluid off the calipers etc.

Put on a new front diff oil seal and bearing, new front propshaft and tidied the dents on the underside of the footwell up a bit.

Still to do ... fit a new oil cooler pipe to replace the one that's currently leaking, and re-do a rocker gasket that's also decided to start leaking this week, but they can wait a bit longer ..
