What have you done to your Landie today.

SteveD · Sep 7, 2013

Attempted to take out the thermostat which stuck yesterday and had to drill out one of the bolts that was rounded off. My local bolt shop is shut saturday so I'm waiting for Debs to get home from work so I can nip over to my workshop to get another one.

Tried the thermostat in boiling water and it didn't move so I'm happy with that diagnosis.

Well the bulb looks fine so it must be a fuse....don't know the first thing about them either. Off to try figure that out:scratching_chin:

Try the connections in wires close to headlamp they play up and need twiddling/ cleaning etc

The wiring looked ok -made sure it was all put back together securely, they are new lamps with new bulbs (well a few months old) so should be fine

Bottom left is headlamps, dip and main.
Does it not work on either , usually dip blows and main beam still works or vice versa

Just a quick one 60/55 watt ?
Head lights all work or just dip ?
No head lights at all ?
Or just one side ?

Changed all my locks, the old ones you could open with a screwdriver.

sarah90 · Sep 7, 2013

Well I am stumped

Changed the bulb , checked the fuse, wires twiddled and clean! Nothing! Its just the right hand headlight not working ,everything else is fine.

Does it work at all, cause dip and full are different fuses.

Check the wires coming out of the headlight and follow them. Sometimes the connectors come apart.

And there ends my electrical knowledge, good luck

well......

measured up n started chopping.....

fitted the comp rear corners on the 110

got her outside....

then after cracking a windscreen trying to fit.... arghhhhh decide to trial fit the lro soft top , the original shrank and Exmoor gave lro a brand new one... so here it is new out the box

nothing more to add ... however its on rather small tyre so look odd lol.... currently sat on normal disco tyres ... she will sit on 42" minimum so will look a little more 'even' lol on 42" tyres its a minimum 16" lift

cheers steve

ebbadger · Sep 7, 2013

remember though u r looking without arches n 110 / 90 do look odd with no arches

cheers steve

discomark10 · Sep 7, 2013

To be honest I think if your going to maintain that lift, your going to need more than normal cranked arms!

the_wolf · Sep 7, 2013

Spent all day fitting a new a frame fulcrum and balljoint. I'm soaked through, sore, stiff and fed up. But its done

and what a different its made, no more clunking when changing gears or lifting off the accelerator.

**** pic cos my batterys dying and I couldn't use the flash but you can see the shiny shiny

What have you done to your Landie today.
