Now that's how a Defender should look. Nice shot.

Sorry to be the odd one out but I would prefer the khaki/brown coloured one as a bit of contrast to the black.

ok, I'm off now.

..... changed rear brake pads, and replaced fuel filter and holder. Still need to drill out the holes for the offside mudflap setup.

Found out the new water temp sender gauge is faulty. Good job it's only a 5 min fix.

Not on landy but spent a couple of hours sorting my new bench out wasn't realy happy with how the bench drill and vice was positioned so swapped them round then tomorrow i will move my roll cab to the opposite side of the bench as its too much in view when the garage door's are opened, can't be seen if it was at the other end of the bench in the corner

Welded a bit.

Fabricated a small bracket for the dash, changed an exhaust rubber and scrubbed the transfer box, gearbox and around the diff pinion seal around with engine cleaner and a jet wash......

Great day for it, I was stuck in work

If its from Paddocks I went through three of them in a very short period of time.

started to make a tablet bracket for the disco. pics tomoz after painting.

Ordered a new alternator

made more holes in it

Here is the tablet bracket for my disco - now painted and fitted

I still don't quite get the idea of tablets especially when you can't get mobile Internet on them

Nice.

Why not go for a windscreen mount? You wouldn't have had holes in the dash

Drove it - Towed my friends car down the road after he wrote it off poor chap. And stuck a new number plate on me new flatbed trailer ready for work towing staging next week! Picked up two 20l jerrys from work, ready to add to the two 100l bowsers for all the red I need to move around. Big job next week - hopefully the old girl can put up with it all.

Changed the rear radius arm bushes.
Had to chisel the rubber doughnuts out to get to the nuts and bolts.
On one side someone had welded the bolt to the axle bracket!!!
Took 6 bloody hours in total.

Changed maf, coolant cap and ordered turbo heat shield!
