What have you done to your Landie today.

Borrowed a trailer, cut my hedge down and took it to the recycling centre. Discovery performed 100% as always. It's been ideal this winter on Devon with all the floods and pot holes in the lanes. What do people without land rovers do when they need a serious job tackling??

It's not that bad. It's only got 120kg of coal left on board now.

Replaced the upstream O2 sensor on bank B. The one in the worst position, and the one I replaced with a "bargain" Britpart last year. Genuine this time, hopefully it lasts a bit longer....

nooo ya numpty,that means using doozil ,you got loads of coal to burn,friggin yokels know feck all.

Replaced the a frame balljoint hopefully never again and installed a wading kit as the old axle breathers where chocker with crap.

tested the new winch I fitted yesterday and it works fantastic it pulls amazingly happy bunny

going to murder it.....

Just managed to grab a few hours after helping my old fella on his house project
anyway managed to replace the broken bonnet cable, so i can actually get the bonnet up
And refitted the passager seat after removing it to clean the years of dirt from the cab

I didn't do much today, only drove it to Blacksheeps (Clive aka pressbrake). Clive on the other hand starred and did a bit more and fitted new cross-member - well worth the 200 mile round trip

Went for a wee run out the back of Dunning today, testing out a windscreen camera mount for my Drift HD 170

Testing new camera mount on my Landy - YouTube

Fitted me noo PAS pipes. Back on the road:amen:

Still had to get the blinking angle grinder involved - bloody P clip bolt was fecking solid despite wd40 and ****ting the fecker wiv big hammer. It had its revenge on my thumb - sliced a nice deep cut into it on the folded down clip when removing one of the pipes!!

Good job well done - apart from SWMBO putting me ATF in a 'safe' place and not remembering where - bastid halfrauds... 7.49 for a litre!!!

Apart from sorting the flywheel, starter and alternator I found out my fuel tank is buggered

Whoops - there appears to be the slightest hint of a hole in that there tank fella.

Hope thats not motion lotion as I'd be fecking crying - or at the very least dropping oily/gungy parts on to the floor for an impromtu washing!!

It was nice bp petrol bastid thing!!!


Gonna get a tank from a lorry and just stick it in the rear tub as there a pair of Daf trucks bring broken locally

sounds like a plan.

Next job for me is to find the duff earth on me interior lights/stereo/clock as the sprogs are complaining that they can't see. Whinging sods - its been like it all winter, yet they only start complaining as the nights is drawing out!!
