Just done the tracking, bit o' string method .. Not sure an off-road oriented with extreme tyres Landy needs much more!
1st impressions ... Feckin' ell ... shoulda re-tracked it ages ago. Now drives properly straight again, with steering straight and only affected by cambers! I thought it was better when I put the new HD track rod and drag link bar on, and it was, but now it's tracked it's even easier to steer, it's stopped the tyres rubbing on the radius arms, and it just 'feels' so much nicer.
Now to check wheel bearings again and re-pack them all with waterproof grease!

Started the refurb of the 8 spoke Wellers this morning. Sanded and ground out all the rust, crud and old paint. Getting ready for primer this afternoon.

Tried to start it today it didnt……just backfired and spluttered a bit, found out the timing was 180* out so re timed, battery on charge and will try again tomorrow afternoon
On the plus side no leaks

i leant mine to a mate and now think the turbo has blown on it. But its still stuck in a layby as i cant be assed to worry about it
erm wasn't the easiest thing to do - had to take green filter out completely so they had to be broke into small pieces
superglue is also handy as the green filters hold in the bulb holder, so these had to be fitted back on

Boost gauge has arrived, so Ill be fitting that this eve, shouldn't take long full complement of gauges now, oil temp & pressure, boost, and of course water/fuel and volts.
