Did mine recently in bronze green from paintman. 2.5 hrs and an inch and a half brush.

As I’m just in from doing diffs, relay, swivels etc, it occurred to me that the oil pump thing I use is essential for getting oil into swivels, gearbox, etc. Given that fluids is something that should be dine regularly I’d say a hand oil pump is pretty vital !

1.Proper imperial spanners...dont use metric equivalents or you’ll round off all the bolts 2. Stilsons...in case of above roundedness 3.Angle grinder........

I’ve got the wrong type of hinges to hand def mirrors off, so have gone back to the original wing mounted jobs, had some big rectangular mirrors on, but they were worse thn useless. Have ordered original wee round ones. Had them on my first series in 1978 and as far as I recall they were fine.

Oh no, the secrets out ! Betty promised me a knighthood for a loan of my landy.....

I just used it as a degreaser! Washed her first, let dry, rub over with white spirit on a rag then on wi the paint. Not concours by any stretch but itll do me fine. Paintman is top quality to be fair, dries to a lovely shine.

Some more pics, just washed her doon wi white spirit and on wi the green paint. Sorted

Yes, must rewire the battery lead ends, theyre a bit rough

I didnt know that about starter motors! Will def get that done for next winter. Ive been on the edge of buying one of these chinese heaters, mixed reviews put me off as it would still be an expensive proposition with fitting.....

Excellent, thanks Nick, will give that a go and see what happens.

Havent been down there for a while, getting a caravan this year, so might take a wee trip down! My old girl started second turn again today and is was about minus 10 here last night. I do think a lot of these problems can be avoided by just using them! In Spain I used the Landy every day moving...

Yes indeed, hve some experience of winterised wolfs i recall they were v warm

Excellent, thank you! We had something like minus 17 in Scotland last night although where I am on the West Coast it was about minus 4. Ive got a rad muff, which seems to help. No cabin heater but I do have a heated windscreen which is fine. Am thinking about a cabin heater but all options are...

Ok, will do. It was doing it before with the old alt ( which was def. knackered). I suspect the wiring to the bulb is shorting its all original! Thanks for the tip

I think its at the dash, I had it out to replace the washer motor and had to wire a new wiper switch in. Alt is brand new I replaced it last week, new connections etc, although to be fair, the battery post connectors are looking a bit shoddy ..must redo them

Thanks guys, I do disconnect the batt as Ive got a slight drain somewhere, something to do with the charge light which comes on intermittently when switched off! Was thinking about a block heater, i think that would make a difference. Just been out in her today and she started second turn but...
