What have you done to your Landie today.

Yesterday I took her to the garage as her MOT ran out. Hope its not too bad!

She is gonna have her footwell welded up as well, and a hose replaced from the turbo as it split, I was driving rather slowly and creating lots of smoke up hills!

Not looking forward to the bill, thats all I can say.

I've emailed a local truck painting/restoring/sand blasting firm.
Nice little private set-up on a farm, so should be a cheap quote.

Not sure yet, mate.
Have a gander at their (albeit small) website:


Arch Services| Respray Tamworth| Shot Blasting| Steam Cleaning| Plant Re-spraying| Vehicle Re-spraying

I'm thinking of getting them to steam clean the underside.

spent a full day grinding all mine off , chassis inner wings etc, then lashed 7 litres of waxoil on the beast.

Changed the sidelight switch about a year after I got the switch, also changed the LED lights behind the speedo, which work great for a few months and then break Also cleaned all the contacts on my stereo headunit and it doesn't reset everytime I go over a bump anymore Still resets when I crank it loud though, could be the amp inside it trashed

Just put on me noo roof rack (with a bit of expert help)

I need to take the bumper off mine and put the standard one back on just haven't gotten round to it yet

bought mine a pressie at the steam fair, 5 6mm straights and 3 6mm y pieces for a fiver just need some 6mm pipe now and can then extend breathers

Found it a spare airbox and fixings which I collect later in the week and only down the road.

Bought hoses for airbox.

Just juggling pounds and space as to whether to add more stuff to drive and whether it will get me kicked out of home 😜
