What have you done to your Landie today.

Drilled bonnet for chequer plate,fitted vibrasorb kit tobonnet,masticced chequerplate and screwed down.Fitted bonnet and test drive 1 up fieldand 2into townall good.A lot quieter I can hear the stereo now and really pleased steering guard on as I have bent 2 links this year

walked past mine on the way to and from my truck.

moved my 2 foot so the old t**t next door could park

Got it muddy. Driving round Wales. Ripped the N/S Wing Mirror off, put the exhaust downpipe back on after it got ripped out,

Fitted decat pipe, change air filter, fuel filter, oil filter, engine oil and front and rear diff oil. Just gearbox and transfer box to do

Found out that the pipe i need for my clutch is now unavailable so will have to get one made up.

Ran a cable through the dash/bulkhead and into the engine bay.

It will serve a purpose but doesn't at the moment so therefore it is currently there just for the hell of it. It was meant to replace the cable for my front LED (gay lights). When I connected em up one of the amber lights decided it now wants to be a blue light instead. Great for winding peeps up with at night. Not so good for staying legal.:doh:

tried to start her for the first time in 2 months and no surprise the battery was flat, had to tow her out from under her shelter with a hilux jump started her off said hilux and let her run for half hour while i swept all the leaves and spiders out the back and cab and then with some hindrance ooops i mean help from hubby put the sides and roof back on
jump started her again cos she's gone back to sleep and hubby drove her down to the workshop and left her there for matey to take her for her MOT tomorrow

Finally got round to changing my dead power steering pump out for one I got on eBay for £15

What a difference! My aching arms are glad, I can tell you!

snot my fault you is the jealous type.

Sprayed WD40 on the brake hose fitting ready for tomorrows attempt at fitting +50mm ones and read the Haynes book on how to do the headgasket!

Was gonna repair front diff pan but the rain put paid to that

Took mine for its MOT, and despite the long list of people telling me how I never look after it, how its all about to fall apart, and how everything needs fixing or replacing......

It passed easily as always


(Of course, it still needs loads of bits replacing or fixing )
