What have you done to your Landie today.

New slave cylinders fitted, new shoes fitted. Off out for a curry.

Converted from CSW to ragtop

Trim out and tailgate fitted


Roof off


Hoop and stick set on


Canvas on



Not a bad couple of days

(I know it ain't a Defender)

Removed both Hockey sticks to fit my camber adjusted ones.

Jesus - what a palaver....
one bolt either side seized solid
had to remove A/R bar then had to hacksaw through. Cutting disc wouldnt get in there and recip saw just blunted the saw blade

Cleaned it all up and Kurusted the brackets ready for a couple of coats of Hammerite prior to fitting the new sticks.

Fitted replacement diff and for now welded the hole in the diff pan of the rear axle after the diff exploding and punching a hole in the pan

Friday I realized it was slightly broken.

Even had a spun big end

Which looked even worse than the others.

Saturday I ripped it all out.

[/IMG]

And today I stripped it to investigate.
It's not good :frown:

Head bolt slightly worn.

Some nice crosshatching on some of the bores mind.

[/IMG]

Cam lobes are worn and pitted.

[/IMG]

Tappets are very pitted. Some worse than others.

But it's all in bits, and the garage looks like a bombs hit it

Just bought a Bearmach full polybush kit, bearmach water temp sender, and a full set of landy towing eye's to use as lash down eye's for carrying stuff on the roof, should all be here by the end of the week

QAlmost removed the second door ready for replacement, but one of the hinge bolts has stripped.

Will try and drill it out tomorrow!

I got to grips with my C post and after cutting, grinding and hammering, I found the taking two more rivets out lets the whole thing go.
So one side at a time and learn.

Quite a few! We go over about four times a year because I like food and wine! That makes it all worthwhile.
