I believe we drove that lane last summer... if it is the one I am thinking of it starts half way up a hill and then wends its way down to the road over the bridge. Ur was certainly open then but the only way to be absolutely certain is to look ar the difinitive map.

Its been a good day. Turns out that the core plug had popped out both sides. Long job to get to it and replace it but I have been able to do that today (more accurately my 9 year old did it today;))

A little welding to complete and then the mot for the shogun. Then it is on to the xfer box fitting!
 
well done chris its prob easier for your lad to get around the engine i find it hard to get my big banana hands into places lol

4 months! that is taking the ****. is this for mail order stuff Jai or work done?
 
I know the feeling jai i have been waiting over 6 months for a refund from la supertrux and well i know i aint got a chance with explore pro comp uk as they took my £300 and went bust!!!
 
There's definitely something to be said for cash purchases then!

Finished bolting the exhaust back together, filled it up with water and started the Shogun. Water draining (albeit more slowly) from what looks like the bottom pulley area. Gonna try K Seal and if not then it's strip the damn thing down again and try to change th gaskets!:violent:

In the meantime started work on the Disco :)D) Noticed one or two jobs that will need doing for the mot... track rod ends, shocks n stuff but overall I don't think it's too bad. 'Course some will be saying to themselves

"Yes Chris but you know nothing"

They are right as always but we'll keep our fingers crossed and a list of landy zone members phone numbers affectionately called the advice line!

So fingers crossed for Kseal for tomorrow! Saff's off to Dunstable at Stupid o clock in the morning so we can get on with the Disco in her absence!

could be your water pump as its around that area and its aint easy job mate as im doind mine still lol
Click to expand...
complete water pump? I am hoping it is just a gasket! I think I might call it a day if the water pump needs replacing:mad:
 
how bad is it leaking? mine was ****ing out so could be a gasket but its **** job you have to mess around with cam belt to remove water pump
 
DB it was mail order stuff sent them a 28 day notice today get their arses movin'

Hey Ryder wot you doin now more ****ing water??? It can't be that Hard, driven from the cam shaft similar to an old vauxhall engine then? I always thought they were like landys and taken from an auxilery belt (you live and learn) get the job done once Properly don't bodge it (K seal Tut Tut) so you haven't got to come back to it after it takes 3 times as long and you usually end up spending alot more money in the end with the motor off the road longer.

Trial is next Sunday ALRO club land rover rules and regs etc all down to driver competance and not seriously modded suspension and lockers. Beginners (tyro) and better than beginners CCV with MSA approved and certified cage. It should be a goodun Jai
