It's really drinking the fuel now int it?














































I spose the AA are happy that their fuel bill's gone down substantially though.

"Re-torqued" (ahem) rocker cover bolts, fitted acoustic cover, fixed HDC switch, put some copper grease on back of brake pads to stop squeeeeeeeeeeling, and adjusted the crap "automatic" adjusters on the rear drums. Good stopping power and a decent handbrake now!

got the wire brush and kurust out today, to "have a go" found more rust than i thought i would, mostly all over the rear crossmember, then when the kurust had dried, painted over with hammerite ready to underseal some bits, in prep for waxoyl, then had to scour my face with white spirit and fairy liquid, now my face is stinging like F**k happy days

put the new runners in my front doors and fitted glass, hung doors back on the landy as near to weatherproof now as it will ever be

took my sills of ready to fit my rock sliders when they arrive

These arrived today.

mmmmmm - chunky!

well I were out on Friday, so the courier left em with me nayboor, who then went away for the weekend.
tis a bastid, cos I coulda fitted em today instead of cleanin the Doris' slitty box.

Thems like my 110 ones, handy for standing on when loading the roof rack.

finally got the thing back on the road

Ripped the timing cover off to change the cam belt etc on the 200 so its ready for the change over . thought id take the heater plugs out for a look and the the bloody end of the plug has snapped off in the head ....... FFS ..... I wasnt planning to take the head off @(

I forgot: I also washed my hippo today.
I made sure I tack welded the doors on first.............

Used mine as a garden roller....my wife decided we need a gravel path beside the drive...we dug it out and put some hardcore down and then drove up and down it to compact it before laying the gravel

got a few hours to start stripping out the old transfer box today , and prepped the new 1 ready for fitting

its a beauty no free play in it at all looks like a recon unit oil was like new and no nasty metal fragments on the drain plug (unlike my old 1 )

just need a extra pair of hands to lift the old box out and new 1 back in , shame i cant get back to it again till wedesday night after work

Yu replacing gearbox as well or just transfer box? give us a ring if yu need a lift with it.

I went to see my mate Tom today to see how he's getting on putting the 200tdi in his 90.
Well the engine and boxes are in with props on and it all fits nicely on the relocated engine mounts. Bonous is now that there is no need to alter the oil cooler pipes or the hoses as it all fits very well with just a few little niggles, like the turbo outlet is very close to the inner wing but not a problem. Even the Disco downpipe fits so no problems with the exhaust as in expensive fabricated pipes.
This is all good news as I'm doin the same thing to my 110 soon and am learnin from what Tom is doing.

washed and waxed my 200,,,,,,turns out under all the crap its a 300

Linked my new key fob to my disco, went to work.
