The two new prop yokes, nuts & bolts fo the 200tdi failed to arrive from Paddocks. Despite the pouring rain (and having a cold) rashly decided to remove the front prop, in the hope the courier would eventually show up. It was the first time I've ever done this job & mostly it were a pain in the ass. To cut a long & very wet story short, the courier was a no show & we cannibalised a 300tdi prop (spare from a friends defender 300tdi conversion) Anyway, no more strange squealing noises & no more vibration. Celebrated by driving a mountain trail on the way home.

Nice photo, I would be proud to have taken it

Yeah I usually do but I used my workshed for welding, metal work, wood work, anything I required a vice for etc...

Sounds like what he said ^^...

Chaffed wire or dicky earth... might be in lighting switch or ignition tho ...

Well the problem has gone (for now) and I'm not going to start looking for a fault that isn't there anymore, I'll wait 'till it reappears.

lets hope it does not reappear when you least expect it then.why not take a look anyway,can't do any harm can it.but leaving it might.

I was thinking about doing that when I get it back though I was gonna use the tailgate instead. Just drill three holes, sleeve them with something and then used decent bolts with wingnuts for whenever I wanna mount the vice. That way it'll be easily removable

Cleaned and waxoyled chassis. In what I presumed would be the last non raining day before they start gritting the roads again.

Dr_evil · Oct 6, 2013

used it to collect some tyres for the bastard landrover.

easye1 · Oct 6, 2013

used a can and half of shutz on rear wheel arches, chassis and sills, till I run out,
so then had fun and games trying to change my front shocks.
eventualy done the front offside one complete, left the tools for the job under the seats for tomorrow (possably) to change other side front shockabsorber,
then buy/use another can of shutz for whats not been done yet.
weather and mrs permitting

had lots of trouble holding the old shock to undo the bottom nut,
eventualy made a spike/pointed bar about 17mm dia, and 12 inches long,
smashed through the old shocker, then held that in a lump of tube, and used a spanner, and another lump of tube to undo the bottom nut.
if I can find my air chisel !! I will try splitting the nut that way if its a bit of a bitch to undo on other side..

oh well, it was well sunny....

Standard safety boots round this way ..

Bit like welding with no shirt on, shorts and blinking instead of wearing a helmet.

I do, now, have a new lcd welding helmet mind ..
