Sorry mate, we think we're keeping them for now .. we still do a lot of caravan towing mileage which will probably rip the extreme tyres to bits, the AT's will probably last 5 more years!!

If we (read that as the wife) decide we'll sell them you've got first refusal ..

I's got some goodyears but they has more tread on them

Slightly skint now anyway new welder as of 4pm has bankrupt me a little

Changed rear disks and pads!
Just what i wanted to have to do after work!.

Fitted my new too me roof rack,just got my access ladders to fit now.....£40 for the lot bargain....

finished wiring in me light bar, illuminating got it all done, found a dead lamp ahh well, 30 seconds in the morning when i get a noo lamp.

that and cleared some ****e out of it, how the hell do i accumulate so much crap in the passenger footwell??

trying to find the source of the screech/whislte from the turbo whilst under load.....no exhaust fitted noise goes . fit exhaust noise returns!

to much back pressure or an air leak that i cant feel me thinks....more fault finding on friday needed.

Fitted new drag link end and track rod ends to Defender 90 and new swivel bearings in nearside.
Axle now on and drivable and refurbed.

Steering now brilliant and Disco springs on front sat at correct height even though they were about two inches taller

I,ve replaced intercooler for new. all hoses for silicone. the pipe inbetween the hoses, the turbo, the exhaust. now the boost pressure to fip was replaced but i dont think the wee clip is up to much,
and manifold gasket.

if it aint the pipe i,m going to remove and use gasket sealent in conjunction with the new manifold gasket......i,m sure one of the studs is cross threaded (thanks to MRM landrovers) so its comming off any way!

can you not stick you head in the bay and give it some rev's, see if you can hear it?

it needs more load, as in moving, tried reving it today whith and without exhaust it barely makes the noise whilst static, ....

Battled for hours with a very stubborn drop arm, finally got it done and all nipped up. Started to replace near side side light and found some more amazing rewiring done by previous owner (must have owned a scotch lock shop) still no side light or indicators on the passenger side.

Papering it ..

Seriously. Using dark paper on the inside to block the windows, like a cheapo window tint, so it's darker to sleep in this weekend!!

It was fine in winter, but the nights and morning are getting lighter now ..

Fitted my new rear light guards discovery 2
