:faint2::crutch::jaw::bolt:

I know i`m not the first to do this, but I done it anyway..
fitted second battery underbonnet on my J plater Disco 200dti, but joined it up in the end so I get double cranking AMPS @ 12V...
originally I planned to seperate the 2nd, only joining via 12V solenoid at starting, charged via split relay, but said boll locks in the end...
I left the lights on for about 2 hours, started just fine after, but silly single V belt to alternator squeeled like a pig at first.?..must try new belts I think?

half fitted my winch and noo spot lights I did fit some new Halfrauds 90% brighter lights aswell now i can see

Fitted the drivers side wing back on and bonnet

Went to fit the doors to find I've lost 9 of the bolts FFS :doh:

shud ov said ya was going. I'd have kept me eye out for ya. & pikied ya motor whilst ya woz inside..

Took the underlay out from the front of my disco to check for rust. Found a pound and a bolt that this missing from the engine bay.

Rebuilding the interior after painging

picked up a bargain at newbury, pair of rock slidders for the double cab , 12" steering wheel for the old 90 and a pair of 2" spring spacers for the 90 too .
got a bergen re-chargable magnetic work light too been looking out for 1 for ages .
did have to laugh asked a guy how much for a pair of nato door tops , £180 each or £280 the pair did'nt want the fookin landy to go with it !!

Just bought him a new V8 from a Snatch, comes with service history and all the extra's plus the HD rad for an extra £10

Total = £410 next day delivered

So thats me skint, I'll be going down the scrappy to get me some Audi seats from the A8 they're breaking I think as I sold my bucket seats after realising they weren't going to be much use

Realised I have a funny judder when I go over bumps on the motorway.
Could this be caused by the WATTS linkeage or is this something more serious?
The judder commes through the steering wheel and is quite unnerving!:5bnopity::5bnopity:

(I do need new WATTS linkeage bushes)

well not today but over this weekend i have changed the engine /clutch/ clutch master and slave cylinders
