Took the stereo out again ready for the pioneer I found in the back of the garage to go in.

Changed cat back exhaust with cheapie one off eBay... Fitted really well. Realised the flexi needs changing too, so ordered new front pipe.

Took lightbar off cuz got to make a couple of trips down to London over the next few weeks, so a bit less noise and more mpg (maybe).
 
Took her down to the dealers to order the front ARB drop links and ARB bushes.

Also ordered some cleaning bits and bobs ready for her first ever (most likely) proper detail.
 
well as soon as the Boss is back from the school run im off to halfords to buy some diesel leak back pipe after finding 1 was leaking when doing the silicone pipes yesterday....
 
Done yesterday, sorted out the oil leak on the rear diff, took the back plate off, cleaned plate and diff out, put instant gasket on, replaced plate, drove to work no more leaks.
 
Drove it home, mud splattered all up the side again. Pretty pointless washing it yesterday

That's why I rarely wash mine, I live on a building site so just tend to pay sainsburys 2 quid for a 6min jet wash and that gets the thick off
 
Found this pic on my phone!

This was a month back though.. BUT I FOUND IT TODAY SO IT COUNTS!
 
Drove it to Exeter and back to check out if the gearbox was improving.
Started lumpy as normal, but then got better, and (touching several bits of wood) it seems to be fixed! :D

Perfect down changes including kickdown, upchanges are massively improved!
So I'm guessing the new fluid has done its job at last.

Now if I could just keep all that water out of it... :D
 
filled the tank
did 180 mile round trip(longest run so far) half motorway (sat at 75) half A roads
picked up 5 Tyres on Alloy Wheels (4 with Less than 1 seasons use, 1 new)
Continental Cross Contac Winter Tyres 215/65 R16 98T
not a bad day all in all
