Fitted a new rear bump stop (after having to angle grind the old one off, grrrr!), adjusted the reverse light switch (again!) and then cracked the windscreen while looking at how to fit my snorkel - arghhhh!!!
Also noticed a patch of power steering fluid under the Landy and a pool of coolant under my "banger rally" car
Not going near any more cars today!!!

Checked rear brakes & re-bled them, no leaks from the new brake pipes so job done. Changed air filter, oil filter & oil, then noticed steering damper has a hole in it, that job's pencilled in for the weekend when the new front shocks get fitted.

Don't ask, was one of those moments where you wish you could go back in time for a minute! 50 quid excess for new windscreen but worth it I guess as the old one has been scored from when I bought the Landy (looked like wiper had been used with no rubber for quite a while!!!) and the windscreen seal was on its last legs anyway.

got the last part for my dashboard,btw if anyone's interested there's a series 3 swb 2 1/4 diesel at aldershot car spares,it's got no lower dash or bonnet though and the roof of the truck cab is fooked as is the bulkhead,rest of it looks good though.

think it's an 'r' reg so 1976 i think,didn't hear it run but it certainly looks like the engine has been looked after.
