Birds but trying my hand at butterflies and dragonflies.Yeah, grass and twigs can be a pain. What's your favourite subject, birds, mammals or a particular species?

What's a v5 ?So am I not getting something ? Post says 1993 defender but its a 1994 what's it say on v5 or don't they match up to the car on IOM ?
Dragonflies will be tricky I've been photographing adders, which are very easyBirds but trying my hand at butterflies and dragonflies.
The V5 is the ownership document from the DVLA You should have a copy of it and it should have your name and address on it as owner.What's a v5 ?
So this weekends work hasn't gone well.
- I couldn't get that gearbox flange nut off so gave up on that.
- The new propshaft is too long (65cm when my old one seems to be around the 62cm mark).
- couldn't get the injectors out to change the washers and seeing how much an injector is I decided to not force them !
- didn't get time to strip door so I could replace the latch and barrel.
On the plus side
- I have changed the rear windscreen wiper. Although the wiper doesn't move as it gets jammed behind the spare wheel.
Sooo not the best. My luck has to change soon (hopefully)

Aye, things often don't go well. The injectors have a pair of flats on them so you can get a spanner on them. Gently ease them one way and then the other to loosen them off. Once the clamp is off, of course.

Put it in diff lock and you can drive it without a front prop.
2 inches? its only about 2cm difference.
Its going in to a land rover specialist next week so I am sure he will tell me if I have just wasted over 3k but to get it to him I need to fit a propshaft or i will have to pay 100 quid to have it put on a flatbed to be taken there, so I might as well spend 70 quid on a propshaft.
Since there was one in there, surely it means there is a physical propshaft in existence that fits?
Quite a few adders, lizards and slow worms up here if you know where to look.Only ever seen one adder, we don't have snakes over here annoyingly.
Ah , we don't have the DVLA over here or V5s. We have logbooks.
Yeah tried a spanner wiggle on the injector but got no joy. As it's going into the garage next week I'll mention it but I'm sure he will know what's going on.
Thanks. What does the little gearstick thing mean with high and low and N ?Diff lock is just a collar that slides and locks the front and rear output shafts. Although it is simple, the last part of the lever's movement compresses a spring that pushes against the locking collar.
This means that when you push the lever over to diff lock you only compress the spring which pushes against the locking collar, it will only actually locks when the splines on the front and rear output shafts line up.
Sometimes this locking collar can also stick through lack of use, which can be a bit of a pain.
If you can't get the centre diff to lock then it won't go anywhere with one prop removed, but the good news is that it is cheap to fix, if not a bit laborious.
Make sure you resolve the diff lock issue before you re-fit the front prop as if it is stuck you may need to remove the front housing of the transfer box to free up the locking collar.
Not sh@t at all. Nice focus bang on the eye. Not too much grass in front which is a major pain with anything on the ground and nice a sharp.Quite a few adders, lizards and slow worms up here if you know where to look.

To your expert eyes this will look sh@t. You could get some canny shots up here with a decent camera.
The V5 used to be called The Log Book here.
The garage will just wiggle it a bit more with a spanner I reckon!
That changes you from high range gears, the ones you normally drive in, to low range, the range you would use for off road or towing heavy loads.Thanks. What does the little gearstick thing mean with high and low and N ?
I'm afraid that was not taken with any fancy gear. Just a 6 year old Panasonic Lumix FZ38. But, snakes are easy. I've just replaced that camera with an FZ82. It does me for what I need, great 60 times optical zoom.Not sh@t at all. Nice focus bang on the eye. Not too much grass in front which is a major pain with anything on the ground and nice a sharp.
I'm up Scotland next month (again). On the look out for the Scottish dragonfly specialities. (since I've failed twice before)
