Mines alive!!!!
New starter arrived today so stuck that on along with a freshly charged battery and after not being run for 5 weeks it took 1 turn to fire into life.
Pumped up a flat tire and put it straight to work pushing a wheel-less Golf onto my trailer lol.
Also stuck a horn off a merc van on it
Still got a fair few things to do but I hope to get it MOT'd by the end of next week.
Oh, collected the Disco from Landypart this evening...... Got back to work and found I've got a puncture or something odd. Tyre is half the size it should be![]()

Will take it off tomorrow and have a look and see. Hoping just a sticky valve![]()
How was your service at landypart, bit of a pain about the tyre tho hate having punctures.
I got now have been under the Disco, and pumped some grease into the UJ's to night, waint to take the props off and give them a dam good grease, as doing them in situ only tow of the bearing get a good load of grease.
I was wondering about that![]()
Dropped it off to them yesterday evening and turned up this evening, all sorted. Timing belt, aux belt and air con belt all done. Didn't wash it for me though :-(
Once the paint is baked then I shall fit it. Nick - you wanna come and do some Landy bashing one day and we can do them both? I have workspace for 2 landies and lots of pies. All tools here.
As i said , i'll pop along if about and give ya a hand, as i have fitted one already
I'm thinking of painting mine, matt black or blue (match the Disco), but I'm a bit concerned it could look worse after a few trips down the lanes?
Sounds good, but I'll probably try and get it done on the drive one evening..... family commitments, if I go off for several hours one evening / weekend then that will be less time available for going laning.
Juggling act!
Work, family life, work, work & work & then at some point, time is found for fixing / playing with the landy![]()

Good job there Matt.
I part fitted mine over the weekend. Hole cut, tube fixed to pillar. I was going to finish it one evening, but that painted finish looks really good.
Now thinking I might need to copy before I adhere the flex pipe to the stainless pipe
Be careful you don't scratch it when doing the clamp up. Its a bit of a git to do on your own. I ended up holding the clamp shut with pilers and then cable tying it to keep it there whilst I did the allan nuts up.
BTW
Thursday evening is off for me
My wife is out. But with the lighter evenings I may do a few jobs on the landy.
