Thursday,
Fixed a rotten brake pipe on drivers side front and while doing this I had to move some LPG pipes etc, undid the coolant tank to move it out of the way and snapped off the small stub off - mm, new one ordered.
Today,
Cleaned off some rusty parts under engine and around front of the chassis and found the chassis is very sound, bloody messy job.
Cleaned up the brakes and discs, pads like new and discs plenty of life in them.
Clean down with some brake cleaner next then slap some paint on tomorrow.

Fresh oils in the diffs, gearbox and transfer box.

Had the AC recharged. Ice-cold now.
And typically the weather has changed for the worse and the temps are dropping.

Think outside, no box required.
Also pulled a Massey Ferguson 235 on a 30mi journey from My friends Farm to the scrapper.
Total weight was around 3.3 ton.
Pulled it well, until the end.
Had to engage low range 1st to pull it up the last steep incline
Didn't screw the converter which was nice

Chuck it on the bay.
Good 2nd hand ones seem to be commanding fairly decent prices.

Disco found herself at the specialist to fix a broken Hub bearing and a few odds and sods!!
She is in good company though, a nice Lightweight waiting for restoration!
She has clocked over 182k too
Got one hell of a courtesy car too!
a 2004 rova 25 which is missing 2 cylinders!
no power and a pretty bad misfire!!
Dreading driving it back!!

What odds and which sods needed sorting?

Hub bearing
CV's
Pinion Oil seal leak
Oh and a broken Fog light!!
All under warranty!!
I would usually do these jobs myself but with a warranty why bother

Broke the alternator.
Well, I didn't break it on purpose, it's just not working any more.
12.6v at the battery with the engine running or not.

I finally fixed my Disco 2’s Cruise Control (CC)!
I added LEDs to the brake lights 2 years ago which stops CC activation. This is due to low resistance from the LED bulbs which tricks the Hella CC unit sensing the brakes are on.
Soldered a 50watt/6ohm resistor in parallel to my left rear brake light wiring’s green/purple wires and the black ground wire. Then mounted it to metal to help disparate the resistor’s heat.
I had to do this same resistor mod for both of my LED indicators to stop the hyper flash.
