Wish I had, both mine leak so I'm having a go at swapping the bottom seals cause there's not any play in them.

Welded new spring carrier brackets on back axle today waiting for new shocks and brake bits for front axle

Changed fan belt, power steering belt.
New brake pads on front, freed ceased front brake pistons.
Fitted chequer plate sills (will look better when I paint them black)

Broke it! Awaiting LR rescue :-(

See my project thread :-(

I've fitted my new front propshaft this evening. It seemed a bit shorter than the other one, but I think the splines will be able to accommodate the movement. I succeeded in rounding one of the nuts with my propshaft tool and nice new impact wrench, so that took a bit of fiddling before it gave way. I'm impressed with the propshaft nut tool, as it says Britpart on it so I would have expected it to give way before the nut did. I've taken a few bits and pieces off because I want to replace some of the metal brake pipes tomorrow and I've cleared some of the other components out of the way in readiness.

Bought this from Asda to check my swivel pre load with

Five pounds, but went on the shopping bill

i unsulated it on wed just gotta get round to doing the carpeting bit

Nearly finished fitting the VHF Radio ...

Run into slight problem with rear prop length so turned the long crank pulley into into stumpy pulley and rear mounting rad. Gotta bring engine forward 160mm but means I keep the series front end and rad will do nicely in the back

Taken rear propshaft off and had it lined up finally got rid of the vibration

Finally got a new front diff fitted, messy job but a piece of **** to do thank god it'll be driveable now

Got me repair kit out for the power steering pump and the numbers don't match anything that I've found after a search.

Its a four bolt type, the kit is numbered STC 2848

Goin tool station for some circlip pliers cause someone borrowed mine
