Haven’t been out in it yet and still have the front to do. Might be a few days as still deciding on painting front

new front calipers / pads / flexi's and master cylinder (genuine LR) going on
both fronts done
naturally both sides needed new metal brakepipes making so time wasted diggin for tooling & fittings
drivers caliper looks a state, definately time to replace
something looked suspect...
OOPS
the previous owner fitted polybushes to the radius arms (~6 years ago?) and theyre degrading so will search for some genuine LR rubber bushes
the Powerhouse
2.5 Litres of noise (but little go) - time for the long awaited 200tdi Rich.

Yes it definitely does, much less rattling coming from the back. Even daughter said she could now speak without shouting

Now in the middle of rebuilding the hub and swivel. I ordered the wrong swivel kit to start. Returned it for the correct one (pre 93) and the correct one came with no swivel seal retaining plates. I just got the plates delivered this morning….wrong ones. I now need to wait on the correct ones being delivered . Bit of a PIA, but the supplier have been good at dealing with the issues. What I didn’t understand though is they told me the kit doesn’t come with the seal retaining plates. I would so they are key components and should be included!! Why would you reuse rusty plates

Sanded down the welds on the bulkhead corner repairs and sprayed some primer on. I didn't want to sand the welds too deep so it needs a skim of filler before final priming and painting. Pity, the weather has turned wet for the next several days
Also did a final check of everything before the MoT tomorrow...

Went for a testdrive to assess & bed the new pads.....
engine shat the fanbelt
but, the brakes work
this engine has eaten a few fanbelts since we've had it, pulleys look aligned and evrything runs freely
no problem as theres a different motor going in

Superb!!

Timing belt on my 200tdi. What a nightmare. Sheered off 3 bolts and had to drill them out. The water pump was stuck on the timing cover and the timing cover was stuck on the timing case. Got them off but took me yesterday and today. Got the belt on now and I’ll build it back up tomorrow. I’ll need to source replacement bolts though. I’m doing away with the stupid studs at the top and using long bolts of the correct length.
