We what can I say… the maiden voyage was like something from Mad Max … deck chair cushions as a seat, some thrown together bracketry to hold the expansion bottle, cable tied fuel filter and were away down the road ! Wind in my hair, anti freeze in my eyes and lungs full of diesel fumes oh what a ride !

Changed the theromstat for one that worked and the guage was still showing off the scale ??? Put a multimeter on the temp sensor and it reading 115ohm which in defender speak should be lava…. Some more googling and yes you guessed it I’ve only gone and frigging fitted a green Discovery temp sensor !
This does harken back to the same problem that I had with the series 3… lesson learnet

Todays fetteling consisted of fitting the seat box, handbrake and drivers floor. Passenger floor to follow once the cable grommets arrive for the battery cables. Decided to cover all the floor and doors in sound deadening, what a difference its made to the doors ! They dont sound likes some sardine tins anymore. Going to do the same to the roof and rear tub, before I carpet the rear and put the head lining in. May do the rear side panels with some black
