What have you done to your Landie today.

Fecking fecking fecking Land Rovers.

Started replacing the intermediate pipe on my exhaust today. First of all, the U bolts securing the exhaust were so corroded they sheared whilst undoing. Then the bloody exhaust wouldn't come apart with out using so much force that I fractured a weld on the new downpipe (another quality Britpart item

) Then when removing the downpipe for welding, I sheared 2 of the studs holding the downpipe to the RHS manifold, and the bloody things sheared flush with the manifold, so I have had to drill and re-tap the holes. Hopefully I will have finished the damn thing by this evening.

Nothing. I've been too busy having a hangover

Had a minor drip drip drip of diesel from the fuel pressure regulator since I got the Disco 2, I bought a new one along with the gasket and the filter O ring a couple of weeks ago. Today I decided to fit it. What was a bit confusing was the FPR had clearly been replaced before as it was of the newer type to the 10P engine I have.

After removing it (and lots of swearing and trying to contort fat fingers) I found out why it was leaking.. there was no gasket fitted at all. I installed the new one with the gasket with lots more swearing and all is now well.

Also gave the whole area below the FPR a good clean with Gunk and a rag as it was all black and gritty with old diesel.

Next job will be solving the exhaust gas leak from the downpipe with a new de-cat pipe, when it arrives.

I know it isn't a Landy but my saxo used to fill with water when I bought it. I had to bail it out if it rained, the footwell was about 2 inches deep in water.
After I blew the air line through the sunroof drain pipes and cleared them out, the car is as dry as a nuns chuff in lent

Haha
