You wouldn't believe how much muck came out. Jammed in the plastic trim below too where it is supposed to drain into.

Washed the outside today and hoovered the inside. You can actually see the floor again. Also picked out all the leaves and ****e from the scuttle and where it gets trapped between the skins of the front wing. Hosed the chassis down too.

Unfortunately I think there were signs of dampness near the transmission tunnel and I had to top up the coolant slightly. Never had to do that before. Suspect heater matrix is on its last legs or maybe the infamous o-rings as I've never done them.
O rings are more likely than the matrix.
 
Wow a pic ;)

I had wet under both carpets when I pulled it out the other day. I’m just ignoring it for now as I don’t need to top up. Cleaned and dried out with a bit of batten pinning it back to air.

Think it was just the way I’d parked it had the rain lashing on the scuttle area.
Does it seem like it has coolant in it or just water?

You know what coolant feels/ smells like. At the age these old girls are, even breathing on those two pipes in the engine bay causes the leak..

Dab it with a white tissue/bog roll if the Butler say it's ok/kitchen roll if the wife says it's ok ... see if it's coolant coloured or just rusty ....
 
Stripped both rear calipers ,they were rusty binside ,so obviously have not been working for a while. Front pads 2mm rears 6mm ,tells its own story. New ones on order. still underneath de crapping the chassis. dont know how far to take it yet,will keep you informed
 
Put new badges on it.. :)
Never really liked the Green/Gold of the Land Rover badge against the blue, and the old ones were ripe for change!

Not bad and cost nothing as they were in the Discos Glove box ;)

Fronts do more breaking than the rear, that's what the brake bias is all about
 
I was told put an airline on the blocked washer hoses in my old Hilux. Quite an extensive run of hoses, guess what happened?
They were blocked so when I put compressed air down it they all popped off and it never worked again.
Oh dear these things are sent to try us:D
 
4 New Dunlop Airbags fitted, in the ****ing rain!!
My original valveblock rebuilt and fitted.
New OEM Dunlop pump ordered from Rimmer Bros, will be here tomorrow. :)

All height sensors removed and checked with multimeter, all are showing correct resistance, with no jumps in the reading, all cleaned with contact cleaner and refitted

Height blocks fitted new heat shields for the front ones too, and levelled on all heights..
EAS Dryer replaced.

So the EAS has been overhauled for less than the cost of a coil conversion!

Tempted to replace the lines too.

Ha!! ;) :)

Very happy
