What have you done to your Landie today.

Started sorting the new engine out
Admited defeat in my quest to have it on the road by tommorow morning
I then pushed it up the driveway... Which is a slope... That 110 is ****ing heavy!

Started to take the V8 out of my 110.
Took both props off and the top hose.
I'll have another go tomorrow

Run spotlight wires upto a on off on switch then half fitted the new overhead console

I have a spare 10 spline diff or a Disco axle minus hubs which I'll sell if you want. Axle done 105k

Wire brushed all the exhaust bolts and then soaked em in WD40. Then I rolled over onto some nettles under the nearside and called it a day. the engine should be out by christmas at this rate
Get some more done on Monday..

Checked all the oils on me bus (only needed a slight top up in rear diff) as ah'm feckin' off fur the weekend in it

Repeatedly listening to my starter solonoid on mu SIII daily driver going 'click'. At the moment on average it takes about 15 attempts before it will work - ****in thing - no time to fix it at the moment either.

Some electronics technicians I work with would consider that job done and dusted!

200Tdi one it is, gonna be a bastard to get the starter off. A fair bit of the exhaust system will have to be removed to gain access. I'm going to see if just a strip down and clean up will do the job first, but thanks for the offer

made a start on altering the rollcage i got from fleabay to fit the old bus (internal cage off a series lightweight) needed to be widened by 7" and raised by 4" managed to get it all sorted and welded up just have the chassis legs to fabricate and weld to chassis

Nothing today but fitted a 12v solar panel yesterday with a regulator. Not sure how well it will top up the aux battery but on special at Maplins at the mo at £39 (was about £70)

Today I have mostly been on my back with a wire wheel/drill, scraper and flatnose screwdriver scraping about half a ton of mud off in preperation for some Shutz tomorrow.
I have also drilled out my new sills for my rocksliders, Shutz'd my sills, front inner wing panels and inside both front wings, also fitted my Safari Snorkel to my wing.

Costs today were £20 for 2 Coveralls, 2 dustmasks, 2 pairs of goggles, 3 exhaust rubbers, a exhaust clamp and 2 wire wheels.
Also spent £100 on a Kenwood screen to run all my stereo gear

today i have tried to take more play out of my steering box disco 1 200tdi

Drove from Dull to Redneckshire just need to get me Leaky rear brake caliper fixed now..

had my head pecked by central lockin locking and unlocking when i am driving and its locking itself when i press the tailgate

Bought some bits for the engine replacement tommorow Oh and borrowed a crane for the next week

Took tunnel out and gearlever off, disconnected speedo cable and handbrake, removed cubby box and part of the seatbox beneath it and took gearbox crossmember out.
