What have you done to your Landie today.

Fitted an alternator this afternoon, again (4th one in 6 months). Hopefully now I have found the shorting problem and fixed it (well removed the fuse) I have solved the problem.

Today I fixed a leaking fuel return pipe,then fitted kenlowe fan that's been looking at me in the garage for weeks now. Slowly ticking off the jobs on to do list but then more jobs crop up !!!!!....

The joys of land rover ownership....

I lost a windscreen wiper ARM on the motorway this morning....funny...never had that before..........but then again it is a land rover lol
Which also means its only a tenner for a new part

Weshed it!

I live in the French countryside where each little village has its own emergency serves manned by volunteers. I have just seen a brand new Defender join the fleet of emergency vehicles today. I wander if its the influence of mine being here. It was the only vehicle to get down some of the snowed in lanes last year and created some tracks so the snow plough could get down there. Or it could have been when my Defender pulled a lorry out of the ditch in the snow when other vehicles which did not have diff locks couldn't manage it. Or it could have been when I was driving through the forest tracks where their vehicles couldn't go. Anyway. Its nice to see another Defender on the road here. Now I have someone to wave to.

Knocked 5 old tyres off their rims ready for shot blasting, paint and some nice new boots. Starting at the bottom up.

fitted a new tow bar 1997 disco 300tdi

Put some Procomp stickers on it

Fitted new TDCI/ PUMA Defender front seats with heater elements, XS black rack 1/2 leather trim and Exmoor Trim carpet set to the front.
Just have to wire in the heated bits now and fit switches and relays somewhere.

Swore at the damn thing!!!

today little jobs were to rip out the carpets underlay etc(tick done)
then we (me and my brother) did the same to his although his is gunna need a patch or 2 on the floor!
and last thing was to fit the new tyres to the wheels along with 30mm spacers, just waiting for the arches to come now and then its all done.............








lol
