What have you done to your Landie today.

Applied generous squirts to the back doors on my 101 ambulance. After several open and closings they still make you look for Christopher Lee or Bela Lugosi when they are moved!
Removed the fuel pump carrier to replace the fuel pump. Discovered the extra pump sat atop of the tank ISN'T sucking through the original pump, because there isn't one. Then saw that the electrical connections for the pump where they pass through the flange aren't there.
On a positive note i discovered that the tank is 3/4 full.
GREAT!
Oh, no. That means my guage sender is kapoot!
Checked the feed to it. It has one.
Checked it has an earth. It does.
Checked for continuity through the sender. It doesn't have any.
So tomorrow after work i'll be off to see Martin at 101parts.co.uk to throw more money at him...

No didn't manage to get to that.

Picked it up on the Norfolk coast.

Ah, just that I passed someone cutting a white roof in half(ish) presumably to get it home !

I used a van to avoid that scenario!

It didn't seem worth the risk of struggling to get it in a car, or failing to. It's bigger than it looks.

Greased the props, sprayed the tired black headlight surrounds body coloured (far from perfect but doesn't look too bad from a few metres away) and fitted a Nakatanenga heritage grill.

If you have any paint left the grille might look better in black too IMHO

Definitely want to keep it silver. Medium term plan is to swap out some of the vents and hinges for brushed ones and maybe even the bumper to go for a full heritage style look.

Better photo here.

Want to put some wolf wheels on it too but can’t decide between alpine white and body colour (cairns blue).

Ah yes, the New Zealand heritage grill.
Why don't you use the grill's complete name?

I had to relocate the fuel pump earth connection on the 101 yesterday. It conked out giving me the chance to walk five miles home(it was shorter in my head...) to grab the BM and tools(that i'd recently removed from the 101) and go back to fix it. It was odd. The screw was tight but hadn't tightened down onto the crimp. So i moved the crimp to another screw and all was right in the world. A trip home to dump the BM and then another walk back to fetch the 101. I suspected it would be a blocked fuel filter but thought i'd check the pump first. So glad i put my hand over the wire. I wouldn't have seen the spark from the crimp otherwise.
Needless to say, tools have gone back into the 101...
