Drove her home from the transmission rebuild and straight to the guys at Gibsons because she's still driving like she has square wheels!

Drove up the woods. Nice and sticky in places! Towed a few tree-trunks around in low-range. Hitched up a trailer and towed a load of garden waste to the tip. Flawless performance.

Got my HEVAC pixel fix connector from Martyuk. Was planning on doing this weekend but a failed starter motor put paid to that. Now notice i have a pretty bad oil leak from the engine & running down the bellhousing. I did lay there under the car feeling a little overwhelmed for 5 mins but soon shook myself off & went back inside to order a new starter. The starter motor bolts look a PITA to get at - the top one being the worst.

Well the lights turned out to be an easy fix, I had replaced the rear passenger one the day before cos the led had gone on the blink with another and for some reason the car didnt like it put a normal festoon in and back to working. Now today I was taking the brackets for the side step on her side cos it was rotten and have made a new one thought the brackets could do with a tidy up aswell, had to warm the bolts up a bit but had a bit of plate up there to shield the rear air lines did the front one no problem, doing the rear one and pssst ! followed by the rear of the car lowering its self on to the bump stops! Wonder if any one in Lincoln does the couplings.

Oooops indeed, truck factors 2 miles down the road got the fittings £1.20 for straight couplings £9.60 for 15 meters of pipe including vat, thought I could get away cutting 20mm out the pipe and rejoining so it was out with the electric bike ( I`m old ok!) for the bits only to find after cutting the pipe there isnt enough spare on pipe run to join it back together! So I now own 15 meters of 6mm pipe as well just got to see what weather like tomorrow now.

Took my failed start motor off, a PITA but easier removing drivers side wheel arch liner & manifold heat shield to get to the top bolt. Still waiting for new one to arrive from Island 4x4 (unusually late) so investigated my oil leak. It looks like the rocker cover on the driver side bank is leaking from the back, down into the valley then out over the bellhousing. Oh, & whilst up on the axles changed my transmission fluid, managed to drop the sump bolt into the oil funnel which then blocked it, which then resulted in said funnel overflowing Dextron 3 all over the drive. Looks like someones been murdered under the car now. At least the fluid looked as fresh as the day it went in. Happy days.

Bastard radiator repaired, noticed my fuel tank leaking again... other than that I ran it.. Sounded ace, just like a fire engine..no, that was the alarm I set off..
Did my heater o'rings this morning while waiting for starter motor to arrive. Looks like the short cuts been done before which made it much easier than expected. Didn't have to cut the ducting either. That said, my hands look like i've been wrestling with a rabid rottweiler.

I did what seems to be a pattern in RR ownership. I looked at the space on my drive that should have a RR on it Then phoned the garage to ask when she's coming home.
