I have a very nice Land Rover series 2 safari roof waiting for me in Scotland (North) for free as well, but how will I get that back here :(:(
 
Congrats'... But.. have you sorted the original problem..??
Fingers crossed
So I can only assume sometime in the past when this ol bus was a farm wagon the loom got damaged. Looks like there was damp underthere are one point because rust, which is probably what fried the repair. I think I know what the source of liquid is (drivers door is bent) so I got some thicc door seal to glue in place. Hopefully that'll button it up.
 
What have I done, second hand 16' disco 2 wheels fitted to Sophie 246, while I was doing that job, gave the N/S front hub, caliper and disc a good clean and I think all is salvageable.
Also had a rotary wire wheel attack on the N/S front chassis, found some black gloss paint, think Sophie has had an easy life.
Bought lots of new spares for 246, safe to say I am going to be busy wire wheeling, rust treating, painting and parts fitting in next 2 weeks.
 
What a plonker I am. Sent all my documents and stuff of to DVLA at beginning of month to claim my 50% road tax because of PIP. All documents returned yesterday with a nice little letter enclosed. I had forgotten to sign the fecking cheque :eek::eek::eek::eek::(:(. Had to run down main post office and send everything back with cheque signed and hope it gets done by end off month when my tax expires.;);)

PIP?
 
Ah! Could it not be done online, sending stuff off is a pain sometimes, My recent experience of DVLA was flawless, thought I was I was on different plain!!
The 100% rebate can be done online or at post office but the 50% has to be done at DVLA. Talking to post office staff they can't see a problem from their end as they are allowed to check passports, driving licences, all other road taxes so why they aren't allowed to check the 50% rebate baffles them.
Hence I have to send all my documents off
 
On to the next problem. #1 Seems to be sitting in fuel. Replaced the spill off pipe as that seems to be a reoccurring problem (hard to start after sitting overnight) since spill off seems to be absolutely dog ****e these days. But I am starting to wonder if there is an issue with #1. It only ever seems to be that injector that gets wet, all of the others are always bone dry. I get there is a recess so it can hold fuel, but it seems excessive.

[Edit: For reference, I could hear air being sucked into the system after I shutdown.]
