did mine 3 weeks ago for m.o.t proper **** to get of put mine in vice bar on end **** load of wd40 and a lot of muscle power

I finaly got the brake pedal back!!! after weeks of attempting to bleed the system thinking I had air in it I read a thread on landyzone and checked the position of the springs, I had the top spring from shoe to shoe - which is wrong - I unhooked the spring and connected it to the lug on the back plate and my pedal appreared. so I'm well chuffed.

I'm of now on the hunt for a hub seal kit and a wheel bearing - I found out that is wasn't brake fluid in the drum but oil!!!...........will it never end, you have to love 'em.

Put 7L of coolant in the rangie, only to find 7L of coolant on my drive, was coming out as quick as I was pouring it in limped to a mates landy garage, fudged water pump

Hearts been going a billion miles an hour Untill he rang me, could have been worse I spose!

Done both oil filters and changed the oil, gotta find time to do the track rod but need to get a ball joint tool to do the ball joint at the same time

Sorted it combination of heating it up spraying lube on to cool it did that 3 or 4 times and off it went ! Plenty of swearing and cutting of hands aswell

Put a LandyZone sticker on it!

Stuck a set of subaru seats in it as the old ones are knackered. Nice and comfy now?

Still cant get the old bloody speedo cable out though!

Used the 110 to move furniture from Exeter to Kernow, then used the 90 to deliver half a ton of grower's pellets out to the woods, ready for the arrival of our pheasant poults.

As I have got the Disco back after ages, I thought I ought to do an oil change. Last one was 10.5K miles ago .
Did that... funny how the washer supplied with the oil filter is twice the size it needs to be .
did the oil change, fixed the osf indicator which was half full of water . had a look at why the nsf door window clonks - the scissor mechanism has a duff wheel , so anyone gorra nold scissor mech?
then decided to have a look at the air filter............



- looks like Salisbury Plains
Luckily it did wot it shudda and dint let any thru :faint2:

Just got the drivers door, the leaking tbox rear oil seal, the tbox leaking front seal, the front prop UJ, front diff, brakes and a few others to do

Took me top off the Landy!

Continued with rebuild of me 90. Tried cleaning up rear axel, found a trailing arm mount partly corroded, scratching head over repair.

Rebuilt my seat box and primed it ready for painting. Removed A frame Ball joint, what a B******* of a job.

Pumped the tyres up, one only had 15psi in it

Noticed a bit of steam coming from the engine bay, gonna keep an eye on the coolant level as the temp isn't rising past half way, the heatings working spot on and I cant see any other problems.

Need to fit the electric horns tomorrow if I get a chance, check the oil, tyres and fit the wading kit really……..Just seem to have a lot to do atm and not enough time to do it all

feel rad allover when its hot

Oh and two of my roof lights have stopped working, I'm thinking bad earth as last time it wrote off the relay, hopefully this time it hasn't and its just the fuse.

Gonna check them out tomorrow too and see if I can fix this if not I'll be re-wiring them

Will do, don't think its the rad though as I cleaned that when I did the intercooler, there was a lot of straw stuck between the aircon one and engine one so I cleared that out and looked for fin damage etc

try is often the cause ,not allways but doesnt cost to try
