What have you done to your Landie today.

Towed my Rice Eventer trailer to my garage... Towing through town I almost forgot I had a trailer hitched on. It's a lightweight trailer so, whoops! Anyhoo my old rice trailer is around 30 yrs old, was debating getting a new one but my garage says its built to last and will prob outlast even the newer type trailers so the ol Rice is in for a service and refurb. It's bottle green with a silver roof, I'm going to repaint it black and silver to match Silverlandy, going to look the Biz this summer!

fitted some parking sensors just incase

had a phone call from ebay seller i got my 2 times faulty lift pumps.
must say well impressed with brookwells could'nt apologize enough and have agreed to send me a dephi replacement FOC and as my buddy needs 1 the same they are sending 2 out and charge me only £20 for the second 1 (looking at them on fleabay @ £25 +p&p) will definetly be using brookwells again

Still no Landy. Did phone the mechanic though.

He's very fit my mechanic, which is just as well becuase I see more of him than any other man since I've had the Landy, which is why I shall probaly be keeping it.

I'm my own mechanic which is probably why I'm a w....... wait......what section is this?

Took it for the MOT...............Failed
#1 missaligned headlamp............Why? its not been touched since the last MOT

#2 Split boot on the drop arm ball joint.............. It would have passed in April.

#3 out of balance front brakes.

Not too bad I don't suppose, could have been a lot worse

Mine will fail,just how bad.

Just had a 100,000 miles service done and paid £215. Ouch!!!

Just bought a 300tdi for the engine and been stripping the rest today

Nothing to grumble about there pal. Mine wont pass till I've put mi new chassis on which is in progress

Helped replace (I wield the spanners - my mate welds) the snapped trailing arm bracket(s) on the rear axle yesterday, only to find I'd snapped both!!

How I got back from Wales in 1 piece, I'll never know but feel very lucky for doing so!

On that note, if anyone else is still on their original brackets, I strongly suggest checking them as if they've only corroded/snapped on the one side of the bracket like mine had, it's not very obvious until you inspect them up close.

A pair of heavy duty replacements from YRM were just over £20, so no great expense at all.
Good chance to poly bush the rear arms if they're not already done, too.

Replaced my clutch slave cylinder in the rain. And did a bit of work on my storage etc in the back of the 90. Not the most productive day due to weather ....

Put the mohair hood back on, probably for the rest of the year.

Over the last week ive replace the disc for terrafirma cross and drilled, replaced the pads, fitted a new set of Hankook RT03 tyres and fitted a set of flexi arches. Disco 1 300 tdi.
