Had a chance to get my stripped rear propshaft captive bolts changed today. The challenge has been matching a dry day with a day I had some spare time. Very east job all in all. So rear propshaft is back on and on the test drive it felt good. I think the slight vibration that started around 65mph has gone so I'm a happy chappy.
Other what have u done on ur disco today

nice , any piccies plse , picked up some 19 inch rims for mine to replace my 17 , as at some stage want to do the V8 brake upgrade
What tyres u going for plse, I’ve been looking at the The GEOLANDAR® A/T G015 , 255/55/19 , would like the 60 sidewalls but go up in price dramatically
I’ve just had the turrets, dislocation cones bad seats arrive for my D2 - job for the weekend along with the new springs!
a good point and Yes I have all new bolts etc
I’ve had the turrets off about a year ago when changing shocks so everything was greased on re-fit so hopefully will be ok

Attempted to fit new HD shock turrets as a “quick” job but failed as the bolts from the existing retainer ring don’t quite fit - and I need to trim some bodywork back to allow the turret to fit 
That’ll teach me for trying to do half a job.
need to fit all at once with the new retainer ring and dislocation cones but ran out of steam. Job for next weekend now

Drove down to the 4x4 spares day at Malvern from Cheshire
Bought a load of series 3 parts that I really did not need then realised I couldn't fit them all in the D3. Thought I was just going to leave them there TBH
A supercharged RR sport owner from Swansea came to the rescue and loaned me an inflatable roof rack so then trundled 2 hours north at 55 mph back up the M5/M6 with said parts
Got home Mrs went nuts and I got another rollicking ha ha

Romped up the the m6 towing a large caravan in brisk winds with a lifted disco... fun. Dropped said van off, done old coach lane and 4 others, stopped at 2 pubs and now watching the rain wash off all the mud though the window of my awning with a chilled "craft" larger (stella)

That Capt Tolley’s is no joke. It gets deep into the finest of cracks to seal it up. I need to do my windscreen seal with it.
