What did you do with your Range Rover today

I got the parts separated. Luckily a guy from work had a big boy AJ. Quick bike ride to his and she lives again. Didn't really take any progress pictures. I always forget to... was an absolute ballache.

spent the afternoon fitting new seal kit to first caliper, what a pain. Old fingers are not as strong as they used to be. 2 hours on 1st seal 10 mins on second. only 3 more calipers to go. at least I have the time to take my time and sort all the bits out]
 
Went outside and looked at the old girl, went out side and looked at the old girl, went outside and looked at the old girl. I think you get my drift. Stay safe everyone

Hammer ! That's not a hammer. A hammer needs 2 hands to lift it and a good solid end:p

On a normal day, I'd use the biggest hammer in my toolbox. But as I borrowed the AJ, I didn't want to break it, I've broken one or two borrowed tools in the past (father inlaw runs in fear whenever I go round), and I didn't fancy it again. It just feels wrong.

Once kds explained you have to cut away the armature to get at it I couldn’t get a 50mm either so put it in a vice. Resulting extension bars nearly snapped the workbench to bits before it gave off with few whelts on top of the torque applied
You did well get it off with that

Aye, I resorted to using bolt cutters for speed, as it took about 5 snips to break off all of the shoulder. That gave me room to get the AJ on. After that, it took all of my bodyweight on the AJ, using the ground to stop the knuckle bar from moving. Went with a hell of a bang. Thought I'd broke it.

Just trying to get the order cancelled from Island-4x4 now. I ordered the bracket and end cap figuring it'd be my only resort. But is 40 quid I'd rather have for next repairs... think the tensioner dampener is a bit leggy, so have to replace that. :/
 
Bit of a shaggy dog type story this one - there is some RR content.
The doris dropped her wedding ring this morning, we both heard it roll across the floor, can't find it, think it might have dropped into a gap where I really aught to be putting some skirting over, so of course it's my fault. No problem, I'll finally get a use for the usb boreoscope I bought cheap from Lidl a couple of years ago. Can't get the fucking thing to work.
So I go outside to get a little inspection mirror from the toolbox in back of my 90. Little Led torch, mirror wafting around all over the place while standing on me head, still cant find it. By now the doris is on the verge of tears, don't worry it's not going anywhere, I'll buy a proper boreoscope and we will find it.
Go back outside to put mirror back in toolbox, be a good idea to put the charger on "Buttercup", haven't used her for a month.
IT IS ONE OF THOSE FUCKIN DAYS, ONLY GOT A FLAT FUCKIN TYRE ON MY FUCKIN PRIDE AND FUCKIN JOY.
BASTARDS. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:


I'm starting to think this house arrest aint quite all it's cracked up to be.

Odd you should mention that. There a little car-park diagonally opposite my house. Put the Jag in it the other day so I could swap the cars over, parked Jag back up on the drive when done. Next morning came out to find flat front tyre on Jag. Of all the miles I have done and a 20 yard ride ****s it. That evening I changed it to space-saver, reinflated to see how long it would last. Next morning flat as a pancake. Tyres haven't even worn that much.

I stripped damper and filled with 10w40 that I had from engine oil change.
There is opposing thoughts as to wether there should be oil in it but seemed to rejuvenate mine and was oil in it when I took it off

They are hydraulic dampers, so does require oil. No idea what viscosity BMW called for, but they also require bleeding before fitting as air can get in if they're stored flat.
So you probably have given yours more life. Unfortunately for me, it is the bushes on mine that are delaminating so I'll order one when I get the refund from Island.
