What have you done to your Landie today.

making chassis plates ready 2 weld 2morro and litteraly hovered the crap out from were i am going to plate it

sorted all the lights out that have stopped working since I sorted em all out before. and fitted me Fog lamp oh and sorted the faulty wiring out.

today i have decided im gonna change the timing belt on me disco but not having the timing pins ect i have bought a set

Drained cooling system and refilled it with fresh OAT antifreeze.
Been reliably informed by a mate who works on the railways that we are in for some seriously chilly days/nights - possibly -13C!!
So I thought I better get the antifreeze tester out.........

Got rid of my EGR - and used my new ratchet spanners in the process!

gave it a clean then cut a whole in the wing to fit the snorkle, painted the bear metal then got dragged to derby to go shpping

fitted me new NATO hitch. Used a disco drop plate as a backing plate behind the rear cross member 1/2" thick (12.5mm for Robke) cut down and drilled the holes to suit.



Thought I'd paint it nice and bright to avoid whacking me leg on it and make it easier to see in the dark.

took a few more pics as well these are the seats I fitted to it recently.

Swapped em for a pair of disco 300tdi front seats they tilt & slide so quiet useful But I wouldn't recommend em in a defender. as you have to climb out over the side of em to get out. Also they're quite high sided, and the steering wheel gets in the way unless you put a smaller one in.

eh pikey you still owe me for those disco seats you nicked out of my garage...anyway happy new year.....feelin charitable and ur trucks finally looking almost roadworthy...worth the wait????

whatz all that about broken foot, you dropped a gas bottle??
