What have you done to your Landie today.

Nothing,

been too ****y down with rain.

As an aside I worked out how long to run the 90 to get a re-charge of the battery from a cold start.

Did not want to do any real work, so had half an hour out to figure it through - but lack of real work will all bite me in the bum later, no doubt.

nothing at all apart from looking for poxy tyres!

booked mine in for an mot

Taken my external CB speaker off and tried to find somewhere closer to me where it could go, failed so I'm going to have to mount it to my Raptor dash somehow, might make use of the screws on the dash to save drilling extra holes

Looked at it thinking about its loose steering belt

fit new exhaust down pipe becouse old one looked like a cheese grater lol checked all fluid's ready for tomorow's trip to the peaks

i removed diesel tank and strapped it onto my trailer ready for its trip to chassis alighnment at wisbeach

Drove it home from the mechanics

Checked & topped up all fluids last night, drove to Birkinhead at 8am for a funeral and then drove back in awful storm condition's at 5pm:frusty: Well ****ed off at the idiot's who where driving without any light's on in well dodgy spray condition's on the A55:doh:! (But I'm seriously happy to be home with my kids tonight)

Friday, nothing at all apart wait for spares to arrive while it rained, Yesterday however, something fell off and i'm not sure how important it is...





and before anyone says anything... yes the "tramp stamp" sticker on the bonnet is coming off...

finally sorted the fueling problems (i fookin hope! ) fitted the new lift pump then found 2 separate leaks in the fuel line. 1 on top of the tank (jubilee clip not tight enough) then found this



tube connector from lift pump to filter housing the hole was on the bulkhead side so could'nt see it never showed any wasted fuel with the old lift pump (probably not enough pump pressure) must have just drawn air in .runs like a dream now and fires up first touch of the starter.

I'm trying to sort the bloody gearbox out on mine and see if we can actually get it to drive!!

#1 missaligned headlamp............Why? its not been touched since the last MOT

#2 Split boot on the drop arm ball joint.............. It would have passed in April.

#3 out of balance front brakes.

Not too bad I don't suppose, could have been a lot worse

Sorted the headlamp out, some numpty had fitted a new one and not lined up the fittings on the bezel with the matching projections on the lamp. Funny how it passed last year?

Then Mrs Waldershelf and I had a drive down to paddocks to get some spares to sort the drop arm and brakes.

Fitted my snorkel. Not completely sealed as my Tigerseal has gone rock hard. Have to wait until Monday to finish it as motor factors all closed and Halfords and B&Q cut off by floods.

I placed my phone on the grill under to windscreen in case of phone call then my lovely mr defender thought he would open the bonnet to check something, a couple of hours later .... Honey where's my phone? Ring ring ring ring I can't hear it anywhere, defender lent on rangies bonnet, what's that vibrating? My squashed iPhone :-( now it won't make any sound

Fortunately out car is fine smile

taken it down to the peaks for a good days laning

past 3 days so not really today, lifted on tf208 kit with front and rear dislocating cones, fitted new wheels and tyres, started to tint the windows.

Filled it up

Changed the heater hoses for a set that don't leak and bombed around Swindon for a few hours.
