Thursday,
Fixed a rotten brake pipe on drivers side front and while doing this I had to move some LPG pipes etc, undid the coolant tank to move it out of the way and snapped off the small stub off - mm, new one ordered.
Today,
Cleaned off some rusty parts under engine and around front of the chassis and found the chassis is very sound, bloody messy job.
Cleaned up the brakes and discs, pads like new and discs plenty of life in them.
Clean down with some brake cleaner next then slap some paint on tomorrow.

Had the AC recharged. Ice-cold now.
And typically the weather has changed for the worse and the temps are dropping.

Went for a good drive and filled the Tank!

Henry_b · Jul 10, 2019

Also pulled a Massey Ferguson 235 on a 30mi journey from My friends Farm to the scrapper.

Total weight was around 3.3 ton.

Pulled it well, until the end.

Had to engage low range 1st to pull it up the last steep incline

Didn't screw the converter which was nice

Bought it a CB.
Linky
Might turn out to be crap, but it might tick all the boxes at no great expense.

Chuck it on the bay.

Got one hell of a courtesy car too!

What odds and which sods needed sorting?

Hub bearing
CV's
Pinion Oil seal leak

Oh and a broken Fog light!!

All under warranty!!

I would usually do these jobs myself but with a warranty why bother

Broke the alternator.
Well, I didn't break it on purpose, it's just not working any more.
12.6v at the battery with the engine running or not.

JUKE179r · Jul 13, 2019

I finally fixed my Disco 2’s Cruise Control (CC)!
I added LEDs to the brake lights 2 years ago which stops CC activation. This is due to low resistance from the LED bulbs which tricks the Hella CC unit sensing the brakes are on.

Soldered a 50watt/6ohm resistor in parallel to my left rear brake light wiring’s green/purple wires and the black ground wire. Then mounted it to metal to help disparate the resistor’s heat.

I had to do this same resistor mod for both of my LED indicators to stop the hyper flash.

Did an autobox oil and filter change, it now takes up drive immediately when you start in the morning rather than thinking about it for 5 secs or so before moving off. Oily but happy!
