What have you done to your Landie today.

Well... i took mine out for a spin and it didnt feel right

got home, touched the handbrake drum and I could fry eggs on it.

so, got the prop out of the way, took everything apart, cleaned, greased, adjusted and now the handbrake drums spins freely..

also overheated a bit on the way home, there's some mud, but not massive amounts, from last trip to salisbury plains, the rad is new... so im hoping it was the strain of driving with the handbrake binding that caused the temp to climb up over middle.. also had the rad muff up, but usually its not a problem

Used it to take a trailer load of crap to the tip, then put 95 fookin quids worth of doozil in it.

I checked the oil and the water :eek

Nah, that's the lot of my vehicle maintenance - its garage for anything else

Plus, will have you know, I have very well moisturised n........:doh:- ssshh 110w

Nearly stripped the rear Discovery axle down completely, getting it ready for my currently rear drum-brake Defender, just need to take off the discs and then it's a case of degreaser and a bit of elbow grease
Taking the calipers to work to put them in the solvent bath, and when they're squeaky clean, put new stainless cylinders in them, new seals and some brake caliper paint, probably yellow :biggrin1:

Played with some wheel centres spinning them around in the rims to gain more offset

it is now rubbed down and undercoated

Nah nah, just a light coat.

Fitted a Mud Console, first class piece of kit, good instructions, looks good now its in, but £58 for a bit of molded plastic and three bits of bent tin :doh: well "you pays your money and you takes your choice"

I did look at making my own or the other alternatives but ended up with a Mud Console as the best option.
