undersealed wheel arch and checked levels on axles. easy day 
My series III passed its mot last week, so I thought it was time to change the oil. Lovely day, so got under (no need to raise it up), sorted with only about half a gallon spilt. Then I thought, they advised the front brakes were out of balance, so let's adjust them. N/s no problem, but that one was ok anyway. O/s wouldn't move, so off with the wheel and drum, off with the shoes and springs, WD40 on the adjuster and freed it with a mole wrench. Then tried to remember how the shoes and springs were before they sprang off. I got it in the end, but, as always, a one hour job took half a day, and my fingernails are all black again. The joys of old cars!

Did some off road stuff yesterday and my missus failed to notice the flat tyre she had for a wee while (see pic)
So i buy 2 new tyres for the 300tdi. While hanging around waiting for them to be fitted I noticed a water leak, after some further investigation and much sweary muttering to myself I find that water pump pulley has carved a nice notch through the the top of the bottom radiator hose, and its damaged the top hose. Gaffer tape and several cable ties form the basis of the temporary repair until the new hoses arrive.

not strictly a landie - my speshul vehicle but....
Oops
Be aware - this can happen very quickly .
this what the exhaust manifold should look like....
Not this.......
you can see from this pic, exactly how little weld was keeping it attached - the small piece at about 11:00 ....
This is what it looks like now - after a touch of Tig......
Although it cant be seen very easily, it is only the boss that has been welded back on to the manifold - I didnt want to risk damaging the sensor by trying to remove the boss.
