Update! the story gets weirder. Can't find any evidence of head leak! They're wondering if the stats jammed, backing everything up and temp/pressure is forcing water out the relief valve. I'll be ****ed off if it is the stat, I've already replaced it twice in the last 18 months. We'll see what happens once they've done it:confused:

Further update, the saga continues...... stat replaced, along with new pressure cap as a precaution. Car runs for 2 hours in yard without a problem, no overheating, no excess pressure, no leaks. Mechanic takes it out for 1/2 hour, again no problems. I take it home, I take it out that night for about 2 hours again no problem.

This morning I head out, get about 8 miles from home, pull up at roundabout and clouds of steam appear from under bonnet. Closer look reveals a 3" split in the top tank of the rad! Manage to limp it the 8 miles back to the yard. Now the head is definately coming off and hopefully we'll find out what the F@*K's going on.
 
Gave mine a treat the other week. I bought a new battery. The old one was on it's way out. However within a week the new battery went flat.
Fan belt checked and was ok. I found the electrical conection from the Alternator was loose. Having tighten it I then checked it with a volt meter which shows only a charge of around 12 volts. According to the Haynes book it should be 14 volts. So a new one is on its way.
 
Replaced the climate control bulbs, got some new boots fitted fixed the rear seat lock cleaned oot the backend and gave it a wash oh and fitted a new rear wiper blade :banana:
 
Replaced front near side j nuts and window mechanism.

New barrel locks next and then a full service, in preparation for the run to Gaydon.
 
Changed the front barrel locks this morning, as per Buster's guides.

Sorry no pics as it started ****ing down - must be getting soft!

Rear door barrel next week.
 
Failed to fit the Nato hitch as the bloke supplied bolts that are too long :( Didn't have time to get out and buy some more so it'll have to wait now. I did fit the new trailer socket though.
 
Converted the Heater from the useless Variable Switch, to a simple on and off switch :) and Refited the Steering Cowling that had been removed by a previous owner...
 
woke up took the comfy car to pick up neice at Bath uni at 6.30 and return to Dunstable. Swapped over cars took the landy to Bro's house started to remove transfer box and it fookin ****ed it down. Not one to be beaten i took the box out and put in my 1.00:1 box put it back together in the ****ing rain soaked through completly! test drove at 8pm all seems good yet to do a motorway test but all looks very promising!
 
Adjusted the hinges on the rear door of the disco so it shuts without having to slam it and stripped the dash and heater outta the scrapper disco.
