What have you done to your Landie today.

SmileySteve · May 15, 2014

Tidied up and removed the crap from from it, strapped up the farm jack properly and removed the bits that kept clunking and rattling around in the back.

Planning next few weeks after trip to Sciotland to sort dash, floor pans, suspension and then waxoyle and paint.

After mentioning the mysterious new clattering noise in my intro the other day I'm now pleased to say I have a definitive answer to what it was.....I don't know!
Investigated under the bonnet, nothing amiss there, all reservoirs topped up, nothing in the fan, no bits dropping off. I took it for another run and there was no repetition of the noise. As the clattering started when I dropped from 5th to 4th and on testing seemed to then occur in every gear but 4th I checked underneath - nothing apparent with the gear box thankfully, UJ's on the prop shaft fine, usual amount of oil around underneath, no new leakages, gear box oil fine but transmission fluid low so that got topped up. The exhaust's been knocking around a bit for a wee while so a new hangar and rubber went on there despite being certain that wasn't the 'new' noise.
Took it for another run after that yesterday and all's well, just another mystery LR event

It lives to fright another day, maybe I'll treat it to a paint job after all.

Dead chuffed .. found why my Landie wouldn't go above 50 on the way home from LZ10, despite the caravan on the back...

The throttle cable had sneaked off .. it'd wound itself up the cable so I was never getting full throttle, and when hills came it was just dying. I'd been putting it down to age and weight (bit like meself) but after I removed the 'van and all the clutter inside it still wouldn't break 50 easily, where in the past it would, ish ..

Found the cable looking 'odd', so removed it, then realised it was the adjuster winding out, so wound it back in, but it slipped out, threads are no good, so I fitted a small c-clip above the adjuster, which is enough to hold it in until I get a new cable.

Happy days ..

Thinking of fitting a new lift pump as thats the only thing I can think that can be causing the extreme slugishness every morning and the very rough idle first thing. Can anyone tell me what the lever on the side of the lift pump is meant ti do is It a priming lever?

Yes it's a primer leaver and I would change your pump first really easy and cheap to do.

topped up my old disco today with £15 of real diesel,
yes, I know thats daft, but I have been running for over 400 miles on my fook up mixture of unleaded, derv & lots (30) litres of new veggie oil..
thought a splash of real diesel would flush through before I go mixing my tescos sunflour crap again...

got to smile, the 200 lump just keeps going bless it..

the_wolf · May 16, 2014

Took the disco seat and bracket out of the back, bolted my farm jack back in, was pleased my trolley jack fitted perfectly into the recess I had cut out for the seat and finished off with a general tidy up. Replaced the passenger side door seal and with a bit of grinding got my bullbar back on. Next job is Operation Bench.

Well after doing nothing to it for a couple of months due to rebuilding my motorcycle it was time to finally finish the gauges. So today I re-wired the dual battery system using heavier gauge wire, fitted a rev counter, wired up the rev counter and ammeter and plumbed in the boost gauge. Oh and fixed the fuel return pipe again.
