Stu, call me at lunchtime. If it doesn't start when you get back to yours, I'll come and jump it if no one else is home at yours.

It is lovely and sunny so it should warm the tank nicely today but such is life. I did say didn't I.....

Just gone half four in the morning. Stu is snoring his head off.

Need to drain coolant, remove rad and intercooler, engine loom, throttle cable and a few little bits then it should be ok to lift the body.

I under-estimated how long this would take lol!

matthew2riches · Sep 24, 2011

6:15am and I'm nearly there... Just struggling with the engine loom plugs

Drizz · Sep 24, 2011

Tired!

Brian S · Sep 24, 2011

Are you still awake there Matthew? We had a late one ourselves last night.

Found Violets lane, bone dry, and a few more lanes around it.

Found a great ford that must have been 50 yards long and 3 foot deep along most of that.

I did the navigating as I did not need to find another mirror for a while at least.

Thanks for the lift Chris. Home at 3 for me probably at least 3.30 for the others.

If your still working on the chassis swap and have not gone for a sleep then I'll pop over to see if I can lend a hand for a couple of hours.

Drizz · Sep 24, 2011

Yeah im ****ed! Home at half three, up at 6 for work!

jai_landrover · Sep 24, 2011

You must have found Standon Ford goes by a house and a foot bridge a few feet higher. The Tree hangs down over the middle of the water. Usually thats quite deep it has been known to be above door tops and some in flood.

Brian S · Sep 24, 2011

That was the one. Needed wellys inside the truck. :lol:

Brian S · Sep 24, 2011

Wasn't quite that deep last night but deep enough.

Radio sorted! It was the interior light fuse (why the hell the radio only worked when the interior light was switched off beats me)

Think I'm gonna need some new UJ's can't for the life of me get grease in my nipples! Think I need some serious pressure to push it thru - my grease gun just won't do
