Ripped out the gearbox today and got the g/box away from t/box before the dark set in.

Hopefully the new gear sets will be here tomorrow

Will be putting the g/box in first then the t/box when it goes back in, they're fookin heavy together without hoist or glamorous assistant!

Sat at work for ages waiting for it to actually drive. New gearbox oil and filter tomorrow by the look of it

Got it MOT'd. And it passed!

Poor things

I left mine on the drive nice and safe Played in the snow in the Focus for 3.5 hours (2 hours to do the last mile)

Wish I had read the weather forecast

Ordered some new wiper arms cause I've come to the conclusion twood be nice to have two

Fitted clear indicator kit new head light surrounds an won a snorkel on ebay ,poss here for the weekend

Today fitted the piece of electronic kit produced by member David Pye that lets me raise and lower the rear air suspension at the flick of a switch. Great for loading heavy items. Works a treat.

Also finally sealing up the front sunroof after trying all the solutions to fix it. Given it up as a bad job and a waste of time.

Given up on it today, started stripping it and saving for a Defender.

Job 1, replaced the o/s side light bulb, bit of a trial 'cos it's a facelift Disco 2; pretty straightforward though.

Job 2, wired up the spotlights on the front light bar as driving lights. Normal configuration; a relay triggered from the main beam h/lights. Again, pretty straightforward. 55 watt bulbs, so they are street legal.

Prepared the wiring and hardware for the replacement heated windscreen washer jets.
Prepared some of the wiring for dashboard control of the front driving lights.

All-in-all, not too bad considering that I have to work outside and every time I started something, down came the rain and everytime I thought "Sod it" and went back indoors for a quick cough and a drag and a cuppa the sun came out again. Don't you just love British weather?

Replaced the clutch slave today whilst ongoing other small job......
Real easy to bleed on my own too

Fixed some fuel lines and failed to refit the fuel tank.
