Bought a new 3bar rhino roof rack kit (last in the uk apparantly, was discontinued two years ago and stocks dried up) brochure image attached. Also bought a vw campervan T4 cab bunk and reduced its length by 2inches and it sits across the boot space restimg on the 6th & 7th seats fro support. Littlen sleeps on it and then two other people can sleep beneath length wise.

Took the wife, two boys and two Springers away camping all over Northern Ireland over the past couple of weeks, after the obligitory oil change, diffs and transfer box too. View attachment 177307

Managed to find and unblock the elusive lower drain hole for the A pillar on my D2 and got a free shower at the same time ... win - win
I swear so much water came out of it that one side of the car actually rose up slightly!

Had the local mobile welder come around and repair some rust damage on rear chassis leg. He spent a lot of time hammering and grinding before welding. Very pleased with the result and only charged £60.

The only thought now though is that I should drill a couple of drain holes at the lowest point.

After having the rear chassis leg welded yesterday, we put the fuel tank back and today it passed its MOT. I had been a bit foolish and bought some steering track rod and drag link bars in anticipation but will have to sell off now.

Sell? Why? Just add them to your store of spares.
You will need them one day, and if you thought they were dodgy enough to warrant buying the parts in advance, then that day is probably not far off.

I have quite a collection of Land Rover bits. A pity there aren't any Land Rover car boot sales up here.

Hoovered it out and took 6 of us to a family party in uncompromising comfort. With a suspension fault bong going off every 10mins

Bought another Disco 2. Doh. It was a bargain. Not sure whether to prep it for off roading, break it or flog it.

Took mine laning in mid Wales on Tuesday in preparation for an afternoon / night laning run in a couple of weeks

Since then I've just washed it and driven it backwards and forwards to work.

I'll probably service it before I go and fit the extended breather lines I've got sat around
I have finally fitted cranked arms to it that I've had sitting about for several months
