yea give me a few dates and i will let you know - although at the moment i would rather focus more on stopping the odd sounds first - easier said than done though!
need to sort the spots as well, and put on that new nato hitch! so chuffed with that. not often you can pick up a top notch 10 tonne nato hitch for free

Oww Carpy he's got the bug!
Don't go blowing a fortune on stuff get out and about first. Tyres are probably your best bet for now anyhows and a nato hitch is pretty much the best recovery point you can get if it has the spreader plate at the back. Don't worry about getting stuck at Whaddon alot of that is just really bad terrain and myself and spyderman taking the **** outter others but that was cos they had all the gear and the driving skill of a dead donkey.

I wasn't asleep! I was being driven in comfort like an improtant person. I saw the blue disco go past as you were meandering your way along in the slow lane. I fell asleep after that though!

Having a senior moment
Blimey its been a busy weekend on here!
Well we set out to complete the UJ swap on the rear prop... now as most of you will know, Land rover in their infinite wisdom decided that for their UJs they would use an aarray of roller bearings with no casing in the cup. Hence every time you try to do anything the bloody roller bearing fall out over the workbench! Even Kev was having a few cursing moments (Kai as usual was just taking it all in and filing it away for future reference.
Eventually lost one of the caps and bearings, bought another as a replacement but it was wrong so that was no good either. All in all not too successful then. Ordered another UJ tonight so will have another try on Tuesday when it gets here!
Kai on the other hand has had a good weekend, he stayed on at Kev's when I came home and assisted in the rear diff pinion seal replacement... only realisinig how the time had flown past when I turned up to retrieve him at about 8 ish.
Then he painted some underbody protection panels from the shogun today, checked out the disco linkages to the xfer box and started reattaching the front prop ready to move the beast from its current mooring in front of the garage.
Ah well... the legend continues...
