What have you done to your Landie today.

Cleaned something off which seems to be a daily routine now.

Last sunday and two knackered tyres :-(

Lane was a little tight and slippy lol excellent day out though wasnt that annoyed about this damage as got a replacement window on ebay for £30 it was the tyres that the wife wasnt impressed about. only had 400 miles on some new Grabber AT2s

I fitted a new lift pump today, but it's still drawing in air.
So that's a new fuel line from tank to lift pump, new clear lines from lift pump to filter/filter to injection pump.
The only thing left now is the tank sender unit which I have just ordered.

I removed the rear seats and dickie seats, wire brushed the rear floor and new coat of paint......and found more rust!!!

Re-trimmed and refitted the headlining in the defender. Went with black acoustic material and closed cell foam between roof and lining. Whilst there I fitted a volumetric sensor too (£8 off eBay, bargain)

Popped some USB adapters in the disco and fitted the dog guard ...Oh yeah, I bought a discovery 3

on wedensday I fitted a new water pump.

Ended up stripping he timing belt etc off again as had a small coolant leek from behind the timing belt case
nightmare!
will this thing every get done?
one step forward and several back at the moment

I know this feeling, fitted new output bearings and seals to the transfer box and 4 new H/Spicer UJ's and now have an awful vibration through the tratter.

Yep, nothing nicer than doing the job again

Hard-wired my dash cam to the ignition live. Rewired passenger door actuator as it wasn't working (****e cheap cable doesn't play well with a leaky defender door)

Yes, those UJ bearings all have little personalities of their own. Even without any wear some just seem smoother than others. After mine threw a propshaft a few weeks ago I fitted a brand new one and it is smoother than anything else I have run on it.

Fed mine with veg oil today , making bio was getting to be a pain so went down the easy route.
Needless to say I got my air ingress problems sorted first.

So this morning, up at 6 am and rebuilt my nearside hub on the discovery. All new bearings and seals, happy days! And yes I've already done the off side one!

Replaced the bl**dy driver's door latch assembly. Fairly straightforward job, but a real PITA having to strip the door down almost completely. Just got the rear near side to do now, but I can leave that one for a day or two.

Cleaning mine!!!! Filming with ITV later and all day tomorrow for a new TV program with paddy mcguinness.

Accidentally left a tool box in the back overnight. I discovered this morning that no one had broken into it and stolen the tools. As the idiom has it, result!
