What have you done to your Landie today.

Took off the front pipe & cat, replaced it with a straight thru' pipe. Nothing like spending a beautiful hot sunny morning underneath yer Landy...
And then got jiffed to take Mrs Wharfe to Asda by way of a test run. Did seem to be a bit more responsive though. (The Landy, not Mrs W.)

I filled ruffty up with veggie and sunflower oil ; aaahhh that beautiful smell of chips

Rear brake pads - it was metal touching metal





Which is far better than touching cloth

Started painting the Series rear axle components - primer today, top coat tomorrow.

Chucked some more 80-90 GL5 in the front axle as the front stub axle seal is leaking and the diff was beginning to whine

continued stipping the disco for bits ,only engine left to come out with gearbox, when i bought it as a donor car a few weeks ago the fuel gauge was broken so very suprised to find the tank full to the brim whilst stripping it today ,my 90 has never had so much fuel in her ,hope the shock dont kill it

checked water level - still the same - full

After having replaced both rear wheel arches on the classic RR,I then decided to drill out and remove the rear floor completely.Fabricated a new one out of galvanised . Now all I have to do is fit it?

I took mine up in the hills to look at a 1965 series 2a for sale, (and yes i made them an offer)

spent all day descaling disco axles ready for paint before fitting to my 90.

wot with?

Made a timing pin tool and did 300tdi timing belt and crank oil seal this evening.

found the rev counter doesn't work as when previous owner had wiring wrong

I gave mine a quick spin around the block to help keep the battery charged and also stuck a bit of fuel in it.

small chipping hammer from arc welder ,slow but effective and if theres any holes it will find them.

Been off roading all day

Tried out my noo Karcher sand blaster - seems to work pretty well. Cleaned up a Disco steely wheel pretty quickly

Renovating my new (second hand) doors ready to be painted along with the rest of the landy

took old csw windows out and replaced with 88" series van sides. Most of the plastics are back in and with a little cutting I think i can get the rear window surrounds to fit too

next up is the tub cappings then a roller and massey grey or gloss black paint

Fitted some new wading plugs (dunno where last ones went) also fitted new turbo hose's (frick they were a tight fit compared to the last lot I bought) and a wing mirror clip, no more stickytape holding the mirror on & I can see more than just the road now

bobbler, any chance of a couple of pics as I'm thinking of putting 88" sides on mine.
