I suppose we all make a must do list as our discos get older.
my old J plater is fine driving locally,
but just done about 150 miles return trip on the A 12 to london and back yesterday,
so as a passenger homewards, I got more time to "listen" to my disco 200 doosel.
at a steady 60mph it just rattles along nicely as they do,
but at 50 mph, i noticed a howling N/S/Front wheel bearing making "please fix me" noises.
the heater although "warm" is not hot, so that needs the attention of reverse flushing with me hose pipe when it gets warmer.
I seem to have a O/S/front sticky caliper/or needs bleeding,
to be sorted when its warmer weather too.
fine when you stamp on the peddle, but slow braking it pulls to the left a bit..
since my 3year old grandson was using the light/ indicator switch as a gear change,
I only have side lights + dim dip, and flash by pulling back the switch arm,
but notice at engine stopped, but ignition on, switching from side lights to headlights, the behind dash solinoid clicks on and off,
may be a fuse? will also look laters...
(my daughter uses a matchbox jammed behind swich to keep it on "full beam" when she drives my landie, which is most of the time at the moment)
but as the full beam is ****e, no one flashes her for blinding them!
Another must do laters thing.
Oil levels in axles and gear boxes,
I purchased oils, but been too "old" to get under yet again,
another laters thing,
along with an oil & filter change, still not yet done..
As I`ve been up most of the night, after a long & tiring day at hospital yesterday, i got the dreaded leg cramp about 3-30 am this morning,
so its about time to go beddie bies again..lol
Its about the only thing I cant put off for long also...
Have a nice day all,
