Don't forget to turn your lights off before you swim.

Thats one other reason for light bars......but who realy does turn the lights off in the real world... the excitement just gets to ya...

He forgot to do the transfer & gearbox breathers, and there's no breather manifold, just the 2 air pipes that go into the flexihose and in to snorkel! It's seems to have been sealed with something brown! Lol

I've just looked, there's a hole in the bottom of my gearbox! I guess that's where a plug should go lol

Im no grease monkey, but dont think you should have a hole in the gearbox with out any plugs in, sure its not the bell housing ( big bell shape thing bolted directly to the engine )your looking at.
Your beginning to worry me now Guy.

I got fed up with trying to seal them up so I drilled a hole in the bottom of my light assemblys to let the water out. lol

I'm not talking about little puddles here.

That's a great idea! I will be doing that.

Im a happy man indeed. Roll on Wales.

Got a load done in the workshop early this morning. Brickwork all painted again, shelves cut and put in, kitchen workshop cut, quick tidy up. All in 3 hours

Planning on doing the last 2 essentials on my land rover monday/tuesday ready for wales. That is waterproofing again (seal snorkel and re-fit breathers) and sort the remainder of the body mount bolts. Then anything else will be an extra bonus!!

All being well I will be removing my kitchen in 3 - 5 weeks.
Your welcome (as is anyone else)if you want any of the salvageable units / worktop (apart from unit / door handles).

Glad your making progress.

I was going to ask you the other day but forgot :doh:

Will you have the cabinets that go above the worktop? Only need 1 double to keep tea bags, milk, etc in so they don't get covered in lovely filler and grinding dust

If you want a hand pulling it out, let me know and I'll collect anything interesting at the same time.

Discodad · Nov 12, 2011

4 overhead units with doors.Not sure if they are singles or two doubles. But they are yours.
Will keep you posted on when they are likely to be removed.
