Replaced the speedo cable. The connector was broken at the speedo end and rattling around at the gearbox end. New one fitted and at last the speedo needle sits steady instead of bouncing around

Done a bit more work on the role cage. Finished the D hoop for the B piller and 2 connecting bars to the rear section. Slow progress but will be worth it when it's all done.

Replaced the washer jet nozzle and removed the snorkel stripped it down and repainted it.
The Washer jet nozzle was a right pig of a job, I took someone's advice and tried to do it without removing the dashboard. I removed the ashtray and used the hole for access. Had to feed a spanner down into the hole and then fiddle around trying to remove the nut by touch. Not easy when you've got fat hands and there is a metal stanchion in the way!
I did learn that when removing the snorkel its important to remove the plastic clip holding the metal pipe to the flexitube before the two brackets holding it to the windscreen pillar. Otherwise it leads to trying to undo this clip while performing an interesting balancing act.
It didn't look like it had been removed or looked at since my Yreg defender was made.

Nice little 20 min job to get the heater blower switches working consistently.
Removed the instrument binnacle and got switch cleaner into the contacts, awful cheap design!, then got a few dribbles of oil down the cable, awful cheap design! Works better now.

Quite an easy jobs once you get past the thought of pulling the haft shafts out.
Had mine done in a couple of hours.

Son bought and fitted a new bigger battery for the 90 but i havn't seen it yet but from what he says it seems to start quicker now
It was at this point about 20 years ago with my Series IIa that I realised this is serious and I didn't want to do the work on the landy myself any more.
