Took all the bits I've removed from the landy over the last few weeks to the dump, in the landy. Oh, and adjusted the washers so that the drivers side gets some water. Bored now after weeks of working on her.

Drove 150 mile round trip to Peterborough and back, and didn't have to fix anything! :)

It was indeed. I watched :)

Got an MOT. Now, will she make it the 2 hours to Peterborough tomorrow? :)

She Passed :) One advisory, I have a chip in the windscreen :)

It's cunningly disguised in an area called 'Introduce Yourself' :) Quite hard to spot.

MOT booked for today and last minute panic as I realised the horn doesn't work when the headlights are on. Set about checking the earths in the wings last night but it got too dark. I woke up this morning a realised what it was. I'd forgotten to put the gearbox to chassis earth strap on when I...

Oh I see it looking like a bag of **** as a positive :) 'Er in doors would prefer it to be shiny though.

Put new black round things on each corner.

A few months ago I got rid of my work car as she was becoming troublesome and, as I no longer need a car for work, I decided that the time had come to put my Ninety back on the road. A new car was bought for the missus, can't rely on a 26 year old Ninety behaving itself :) At the time the...

They are design features, not faults :D

I used to drive my old Ninety 150 miles a day commuting and loved it. But then I don't care too much when the rain pours in and that when I open the window I get better heating from the air dragged from the underside than the heater generates. Still got her and about to put her back on the road...

There were bare wires in there as well :)

Today I got rid of a number of electrical gremlins by going from this To this.

New front dampers and galvanised heavy duty turrets. What a sod getting the old one out! Had to take the angle grinder to the old turret and take it out in pieces.

It makes me laugh that in the video the only evidence of 'illegal' modifications is the door hinge screws have been replaced.

I'm tempted. However, having said every Friday this summer that I'll MOT her next week and then found something else to fix, I'll book nothing yet :)

I wouldn't expect blowing fuses if stuck the same sizes back in though, more like a fire! That's my point, a 10A old glass fuse is not meant to same 10A as a modern blade fuse. My understanding is that a 10A glass automotive fuse actually blows at 10A whereas a 10A blade fuse is expected to...

I haven't done any yet. I'm planning on doing the lot this weekend. 10A seems a little high when some are currently 2.5A. I guess I'll start with the amp metre and see what they draw and go from there.
