fitted a ebay sourced door mirror on me disco 1,
as the previous one had a meeting with a scrap mans transit as I passed it!,
glass never broke but the end of the black plastic unit shattered....


now "sorted"....

then run 3 big plastic bags of neighbours grass i cut to tip....

then found my mower had lost its v belt that drives the back wheels - well, its mechanicle, and "offroad"....lol
 
Was off to work this morning and coasting to a halt and heard a nasty grinding coming from nearside front.....limped to workshop :mad:

Unbelieveable amount of play on the bearings, can't believe I couldn't feel it driving :confused::confused:
Stripped it down and the centre tab of the lock washer on the hub nuts had snapped off and they've been working themselves loose for fook knows how long :eek:

Gave it all a clean up and grease and re-assembled with an old lock washer (I know I know) and seems half reasonable to keep me plodding along til the weekend and new bearings.

Then a mate turns up with a slipping clutch so I have a quick look and the clutch slave seals are gone and I happen to have a spare......

NOW look at the time :doh: and I int earnt a penny............oh well.......might as well go and adjust the tappets :rolleyes:
 
Took mine for its mot... It passed with 2 minor advisories....not bad going for something that's 22 years old... Now to decided, do I keep it? Or get a range rover classic... Decisions decisions!
 
Undid the belt adjuster on my 300tdi, inserted a penny at the advised spot and retightened the adjuster bolt.

Hey presto.....no more squeaks and whistles, she ticks over nice and quiet, should have done it a month ago when I bought it.:rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
I had a look through the Haynes Manual to see which of the jobs I need doing are one or two spanner jobs.

Have decided that btw eldest daughter and I we are two spanner competent but am just a bit concerned that one of the two spanner jobs is brakes :eek:
