I got mine idling a bit better and re-calibrated the rev counter so it's within the realms of plausibility...

Removed the rear crank oil seal from 200tdi and broke the new one putting it in. Toooo cocky, thought I could do it with me eyes closed but fu**ed it up
No pic of knackered oil seal.....to embarrassed
Done the same myself in the past
Damn things are too big

I'm off to cut the slam panel up so the front end has some air flow to the rad!

Emptied my tools and recovery gear and personal stuff .. all laid out on the back yard and hosed down .. OK, the cardboard boxes aren't much good any more, but the stuff inside is all OK!

Bought some Conra bucket seats for £40 from a mate of a mate. Got given a big carbon dynamics in line air box for when I plumb the snorkel in and my cousin gave me a chequer bonnet plate and rear corners. Not a bad day I suppose.

Maybe tomorrow. I did a bloody stupid thing and got complacement.
put the rear on axles stands on a gravel driveway I'd used many times before.. (you can guess what's coming). Looked at it and thought, I don't like the look of that as they started to sink slightly.
Stuck the trolley under it to try and support it but it was too late, the jacks fell over and moved the rear about a meter to the right.. only issue the wall was there
it munched rear light capping. I've smacked it with a hammer and handpainted some awful silver paint on so it doesn't rust everything
The fuses.. for some reason both my solenoids I use for the glows and brakes just blew within days of each other.. One it shorting out and blowing fuses and the other is just dead.

Driven it! Yes I know you might say that's not a modification but I say it is - if a modification is something you do other than the norm..... (that'd be fixing it)
I drove her on all 8 cylinders, all 4.6 litres doing their bit and drove through a storm....
No doubt tomorrow she'll play up again :S

- right yer!
started the old landy up this morning to keep her engine sweet, noticed that the heavy rain night before last had driven in under the flashing on the top of the tin roof on the shed, and left 2 bloody great bowls of water on the tyvek felt.
so lunch time popped back down there with the expanding foam gun and filled all the hollows in the corrugations before the bad weather hits home tonite.
