Well todays roofing didnt go to plan numb nuts decided he had to go to finish up on a bit of fencing
on another job, Im getting pretty pizzed off now :mad: I cant be up on a roof myself so I had a day to myself.
Decided to do the brakes on the D1 new discs n bearings usual one doggy bolt that doesnt want to come
out and is rusted its head off so no spanner fits it.
yup the most awkward one top bolt on the rear caliper where there is no room to hammer a socket on.
They always come out in the end though. :D Got the nsr to do as I am needing another set of rear pads
as I used one side out a set recently. Got mintex ones coming for 12 quid odd with free delivery. :)

Patina just means "Can't be fucked to restore it properly, so I'll just say "It's better like that" and then convince all the other weak minded tw@ts that I'm right!"
Hate it!
 
Well we went out to our anniversary lunch and the people at the restaurant treated us like long lost family.
The food, drink, service and setting were superb as usual.:):):):)
Much enjoyed.:D:D
So on our way beck we decided to call in a the nearest Landy garage, the one that repaired my Disco after the accident.
It looked closed, but the name was still there on the letter box.:rolleyes:
As I was looking at the closed gates and the letterboxes a woman came out of a house behind the gate and told me the news.
They no longer operate as a garage. :rolleyes: The one and only mechanic has cancer and is unlikely to survive. There is very little business as so many people are either getting rid of their Landies, due to the pressure of the new MOT, similar to ours in that leaks are a problem and the pressure to not buy them but to go for electric, hybrid or the more modern ones which they won't touch, nothing beyond TD5, (like so many other LR indys I know back in the UK.) and the mech was self-employed. Employing someone over here is such a pain. and very few know Landies.
So there are just a few peeps with Landies who are hanging on to them.
He also can't get hold of old ones to break for this reason.
They are also on holiday for a week.
BUT he does still sell secondhand parts.
So, I have to get my big boy pants on and really decide myself what bits I need. While still keeping it on the road as it's the only car we have over here and we cannot walk down the mountain. No buses neither.
If the sh!t really hits the fan neighbours will prolly help to some extent and maybe we could hire a car.
But it's all a freakin pain in the ASS!
We've got about 4 weeks left here, but the first week will be out if this guy is on holiday, and getting new parts out here will be a terrible problem I suspect.
Can't stay over our 90 days or we'll get our passports stamped "illegal" or summat which would really feck our applications for long stay visas.
Total sh!tstorm. Not funny. :(:(:(:(
 
Not a request just an enquiry.
I have done some research on this and discovered it wasn't my imagination.
Seems so unfair. small boobs AND they taste of onions. Poor things.:(:(:(

Ive just clicked about a saying about vinegar t!ts lol
