A serious case of 'Flatulance'

nah deffo reckon its OSU.

Here is your pic from the other side, hope you dont mind me re-posting it

look how the print for the T, the 6 and the M are all printed like it was a dodgy print head. Then look at the shape of the C in the CA195A bit, then look at the O in thetford, the shape of the OSU/CSU matches the O better. CSU isnt anything which is why your google-fu has failed. OSU is operational support unit.

still anyway, its irrelevant, are you going doen the ex-military insurance route? it was way cheaper for me.

Did nothing to it today cept drive it....which is a bit gutting seeing as it's been perfect painting weather :Cry:

Nice and toasty in the cab this morning though

Slightly let down by the fact the drivers side bulkhead vent has half a seal.........and could've done with a sun visor on the way home

Added to the list...

Was rained off at work today so headed to the workshop for the afternoon. Fitted the newly arrived headlight trims..

And made up a platform for the bed/sofa that will be hinged to swing up against the bulkhead and worked out how to make up a piece to extend it for when I have company

Gave her a good clean out and played around with some cushions to try and get a feel for seating and storage options....also freed up the windows and blackout blinds.

Found another leak in one of the vents and sealed it temporarily until I get round to fitting the new vent covers.

Quite pleased with todays progress

are you going to fit it out as a camper in caravan style or hugh fearnly whittingstall style

Got a little more painting done but it's a little frustrating doing it in bits. Hopefully get a good day in over the weekend.

Insurance docs arrived this morning so went to the post office to get her tax disc. Turned into a bit of a story because the PO still had her classed as an ambulance and not yet having had the full V5 back the cashier didn't think she could change the class.

Took 3 of them and about 20mins but got there in the end so she's now all above board and legit

Apparently I'll probably get an ammended V5 some time after the one that should be appearing on my doorstep soon and I should wait to get the second one before sending one back with a colour change ammendment

I always worry when DVLA has to do more than one thing....it tends to go pear-shaped

Dual use so keeping it fairly minimal because I still need a decent load space. No real master plan as such, I'll let it evolve

hell there is room for a washer and dryer in there

There's not as much space as it looks in the pics but enough to be cosy and comfortable and keep a good load space if I'm a little canny. Not decided yet whether to have a perminant hob and cupboads along one wheel arch or have a more temporary removeable camping set-up. The Wales laning trip should help decide.

Got the bed extension made up today which will hopefully turn it into a useable double and managed to get the fan for the rear heater to work....and work it certainly does

Land Rover should definately have consulted Marshalls when designing heating.

Rear interior lights are working as well though I can't claim the credit for that.......it's just taken me this long to find the switch

though they're way too bright so I'll probably remove half the bulbs and see if I can get to the wiring to fit a switch to give a choice of one light or two.

Getting excited about her first laning trip but got a few things to sort first...

Fit cb and sound system

Decide where to stow the aux battery and wire it up and aux fuse box....so far as I can figure everything runs through the standard Series fuse box so I certainly don't want to add anything else in, maybe remove a few things like interior lights and wiring for the sound system

She's fitted with extended axle breathers but not checked them over yet and should really drill and tap gearbox/transfer box cover plates and fit breathers.

Finish painting, at least one coat all over but the prep is a bit daunting. She's doing a good impression of being watertight now though

from above anyway.

Sort out door locks.......passenger side door lock works but only if the door is open which is about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike

Did fit a bolt inside the back doors today so I can lock myself in when settling down for the night.

Better stop there I think before I start to panic! :5bwilly_nilly:

Filled her up with wet, muddy rocks in the rain this morning, it's fair to say the load space still works

Made a bit more sense of the dash wiring and fitted a charger socket and invertor. I'll swap the invertor connections over to the aux battery when I fit it....possibly tomorrow if I can avoid getting caught up in anyone else's plans

Looks like you've hit rock bottom there!!!
