What have you done to your Landie today.

off roaded on sunday, had a problem


rear brake sticking on, well i thought, checked wheel bearings and rear one was a lil slack, withdrew the rear half shaft and god knows what the last owner used as grease but it was black,sticky and a lil like ud, but every seal was good so wasn't mud



now going to get my bearings and new rear brake pads, it's all good

Bloody hell, I've drilled a 25mm hole in the roof.......................!!!:doh:


For CB coax and roof light wiring.

Hmmmm I wonder if it will leak?op2:

fitted the tube bumper this afternoon fitted like a dream

Fitted new calipers, discs, pads, shocks and springs to the rear today... front tomorrow

Also managed to round off, then remove 1 x Caliper retaining bolt and in the process of doing that - crack the brake line... So made a new line up and fitted that too!

lol - it's all in my head! Done some drawings so I know what metal I need. Just got to get collecting. It's not top of my "to do" list at the moment, but it will happen

walked past mine for the 5th time this week on my way to work (getting a lift in someone else's car)

Roll on Monday when, assuming I can get it there, the garage will replace the wheel bearings, among other things.

Drove mine through a very big puddle.

Changed the wipers on mine the easies set of wipers i've ever changed

well i couldnt get the axle filler bolt out (tried everything) so i drilled a new hole and welded on a nut and bolt works ok so far and both axles now have fresh oil in.. transfer and gearbox are next on the list of oil changes.

Thanks you for reminding me i must change my gear and axel oils:doh::doh:

thats ok, yer i thought i better change them as i have no idea when it was last done as i have only had the car a couple months

Where do I start

Fitted new samco boost hoses...all ok no problem.

Then the EGR kit...oh dear, bastid of a job. A bolt snapped in the egr port on exhaust manifold. Had to buy a right angle chuck to get in there and drill it out...took forever and lots of running around buying stuff.

Most definitely runns better though...pickup is smoother and seems to hold speed better on the hills

Leaky fuel regulator is my next job....looks like another nice job lol

filled mine up with logs today.......

I think i have found the load limit...

Does it run any smoother on logs? Ive not noticed any difference in performance since I switched to veg oil. How do you get em down the fuel filler neck?

Fitted my Safari Snorkle that has been filling my garage shelf for the last 6 months.

Fitted that is, right up to the point my drill bit snapped in the A pillar:doh:. Off to BnQ now to buy a new bit.

Walked past mine for the 8th time this week on my way to work in someone else's car

Monday (garage day) will come...

i discovered that i can get my fingers through the door gap on my 88
