been going through tests which seems ages , stomach keeps swelling up and now my legs have swollen up, awaiting for another ultrasound, ref to do with the right hand side of my stomach

they wish to rule out anything nasty first , is driving me insane , there's only so much day time TV u can watch, lol

got to wait till next week for another batch of blood test results , last while blood count was over 10,000 ,just going along for the ride until i get an answer

weirdest thing was having a blood pressure machine put on each leg and arm , requested by my gp, nurse done the tests, very strange indeed

l leg 141/107
r leg 152/132
l arm 104/83
r arm 125/85

just a case of waiting for results and further appointments , i think it's just something i'm eating that's causing it, time will tell
 
The polishing is coming along nicley.

After washing and polishing this morning I then move on to the sunroofs for their annual clean of the rubber seals with my electric toothbrush, both sunroofs opened ok so it's just washed the muck from the seal and then close them for another year.
So as I'm on a roll I changed the engine coolent, so drain, flush and refill with OAT antifreeze and job done for another five years, hopefully that's the last time as I don't see me still holding on to my disco for another five years.
 
Replaced my EGT probe as the old one gave up the ghost after 4 years... it's sensing element or wiring was interrupted cos i've got open circuit on it... it was easy cos i hooked the new one's wire to the old one and pulled it into the cabin... good to see again the EGT cos i was used to see it and missed it for the last 2 weeks since the other's behaviour became intermittent then failed for good, i recommend such gauge for everybody with bigger tyres cos i can clearely see how the EGT increased with up to 100*C only cos i fitted 4.8% bigger ones(255/70/16 instead of the std 255/65 ones):(
 
Replaced the batteries in both the keys, and yes, they both still work! ;)
And discovered the original purchase price while mooching through the paperwork. Back in 2004, a grand total of £24,250 was paid for it, and the only optional extra added was the towing electrics.
 
Sat down today and wrote a list of jobs that need doing:

MAF sensor needs replacing
Boot door actuator needs replacing
Need to work out what is going on with air suspension
Wiring for extralights needs finishing
Front strobes need replacing following a brush with a bush

Air suspension is being really weird. After the Salisbury Plain trip the back left corner started to sink routinely overnight. Then it stopped. Then it started again.

I've now found that if i pump it up to Off Road Height before parking, it happily stays up for days. If i leave it at normal height then around 50% of the time it sinks. Havent managed to find a leak.
 
removed front bumper -- what a furkin pain in the rc that was:(
Hmmmm now need to buy all the parts i had to break to get it off :oops:

and then put the new (to me) one back on - once ive put it all together on the back plate and done a little bit of plastic welding :confused: - any tips on that bit would be appreciated :cool: :)

Oh the joys of owning a Landy:D

Replaced a front spring, shock and all associated hardware. Would have down both but it appears they have never been done so was a bit of a battle. This shock washer should give you an idea!

Resealed the front wind screen in the corners seems it let a bit of water in during our little storm yesterday. Still sunroof repair all OK no leak there.
Removed the headlights for a clean out no more dead spiders in their fixed the auto light adjusters so they work as well.
