Packed myself up for my overnighter holiday.. put in all the tools and fluid etc i think i might need, only i haven't got room for my tent!! Or sleeping bag!! Or any food!!
Mate of mine showed us his sockets and torque wrench from his works many years ago. He worked at a firm that did control valves and stuff for oil and nuclear installations, and production line automation equipment. Their biggest socket was about 8 inches, I think a 2" square drive, the wrench used was rated to just over 400lb/ft and was used with a 4:1 gearing multiplier as it had to be tightened to 1600lb/ft!
Might not be enough. May need to go bigger, much bigger.Should be ok for spark plugs and oil filters then

Now you just need a museum to lend you some sea-dee's and some 'tape'Just fixed the CD player, yet again. One of the CD slides had stuck. Tried everything to,get it to go back to right place, tweezers, screwdrivers, etc. Then tried playing around with fuses. Nothing. Decided to take all CD and radio related fuses out, switch all power off, then back in and power on.
Tada! It moved. However, unit wouldn't eject I faffed and I fuffed, and I faffed again. Nothing! Motor was whirring but no joy. During all of this I was also messing with cassette as it kept throwing up an error.
So , I gave the CD unit a break whilst I went to deal with the tape. 4 or 5 rejections later , suddenly the tape is working. Yaaay.
Back to the CD unit. I press eject and out it comes like it had never refused to, glaring at me balefully.
I now have a working CD unit and tape player. These vehicles are buggers
My cd cartridge often sticks, probably from lack of use, but do find with gentle tap with a soft hammer as pressing button works wellJust fixed the CD player, yet again.

Awe come on we're talking Land Rover hereCD drawers (if like a PC one) should have a tiny hole on / near the drawer which releases a latch and forces eject if you shove a stiff length of wire in. But not sure ones which slide a disc in and out work the same.
Shave the end of the connector down for P38 makes it 3x easierI I do need to get a pneumatic grease gun.
Lived in mine for bit. Is plenty room once you get organised. Didn’t have tent either put the double seats down and slide liner up.Packed myself up for my overnighter holiday.. put in all the tools and fluid etc i think i might need, only i haven't got room for my tent!!

Sills been rubbed down, red leaded and painted black. Light unit got fixed in true RR fashion - turned up with the threat of a new bulb and it miraculously started working again! Can’t complain really have spare bulb now?
So I’m all done just have to book In for MOT, cut the garden fence down and away to go

I was cursing the designer upside down. They have to be some special kind of idiot, to put a CD multi-changer in the glove compartment, unable to be removed unless you take the dash out. Who, the $&%*, thought that was clever!My cd cartridge often sticks, probably from lack of use, but do find with gentle tap with a soft hammer as pressing button works well
Not just Land Rover but L322.Awe come on we're talking Land Rover here
Shave the end of the connector down for P38 makes it 3x easierThat's not actually the issue. My hands are the issue. So pneumatic tools, albeit expensive, are my best friends. It is what it is.
At least the idiot put mine in the boot and quite easy to access SorryI was cursing the designer upside down. They have to be some special kind of idiot, to put a CD multi-changer in the glove compartment, unable to be removed unless you take the dash out. Who, the $&%*, thought that was clever!

I never found mine that bad.... the most annoying point of mine is it was an alpine unit and i cant figure how to wire a non alpine one in.I was cursing the designer upside down.
