Took Buttercup out for a drive today for a couple of hours, mixed A roads and motorway, I've convinced myself that replacing the body mounting bushes has made her quieter on the road, so a couple of days worthwhile work.
In other news, having problems with the rear wiper, see separate thread.

see separate thread.Finally got the power steering pipes replaced, Why? with such a big engine bay did Land Rover decide to cram everything in the corner? snagged on everything, heater hoses, thermostat, trans cooler lines, steering box mounting bolts, trying to feed the new ones in on my own, gave up till my brother got back to help, then went back together easily.
Some sort of tapered bearing might be better. Brian did his recently.

That was a stroke of luck!
Looks like kermit will be doing it the hard way unless a road trip is on the cards.

Just had a look at royal mail they want £12 i could post the tool up to you and just send it back when you are done, if that any help to you.
I'll keep that in mind!! thank you
I need to book myself in the diary or it'll never get done! theres always something urgent on the never ending list and the weeks are turning into months!! I'm sure it was February last week
i've just checked my coolant level... again.. and its down.. again!!!!
I think jubilee clips are the invention of the devil!! put the hose on.. tighten up and test to 10 psi.. dry as a bone.. go for a run, check again and its leaking at 5psi.. rinse.. repeat..
think i need to get some of the proper spring clips

We it's nice weather to do a bit of decking
You should have put a dust sheet down so you don't get wood splinters in your interior

Yep, I planned to but got the builders merchant without it. Those splinters are a pain to get out, forget the vacuum, tweezers! That’ll teach me.....We it's nice weather to do a bit of decking

if I need to replace any in the future I'm gonna try those T-bolt ones, they look pretty well engineered.
