Replaced both rear brake discs, both front cailipers, pads all round, changed tranny oil front & back.
Found anti roll bar mounting had come away so replaced that, found fuel filler pipe was starting to split so replaced that......oh and a new set of wiper blades!
Ready for the winter now, bring it on
:D
 
Bolted old rear door handle between cubby box and passenger seat for disabled friend to grab onto on corners. She had a stroke and has trouble with balance now.
Kids come in useful - get under there and hold that bolt in place :D
 
Moved a car on trailer with it and painted me grill silver, well allyouminniuum actually but needs to be more like stainless steel colour looking at it.:)
 
Booked D2's MOT for Monday - and arranged to help clear/extend sunroof drain pipes, fit cruise control switch and connect up parrot while it is at garage...oh, and get it chipped. :)
 
Threatened it that I might do some work on it .. if the feckin' rain/wind stops or other stuff doesn't get in the way.

.. and I find a tuit .. ;)
 
An odd thing happened today I went out in the 90, with the lights on 'cos of the fog, when I pulled up and turned the ignition off the engine kept running. When I turned the lights off the engine stopped. Tried it several times and the it's still doing it?? some how I must be getting a feed from the lights switch back to the ignition. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone got a clue as to where to start looking for the solution.
 
Just put the handbrake back together with a new cable……..which cnut decided to use pins with a spring and collet instead of M4 bolts and nylocks :mad: taken me two fcuking hours!

1: Earths
2: chafing on the loom, prime suspect where it comes round the bellhousing/bulkhead.
 
was sunny earlier on today, and as my landie was high in the air on ramps & big concrete blocks, I decieded today was the day to get my "evil" jet wash out to blast all that lives underneath, from the bonnet down to the floor, taking each wheel of for a good jetwashing as I went.
done the front end, stopped for lunch then it ****ed down with rain..
2 hours later it had stopped enough to continue..

true to form I jet washed just about everything & everywhere,
including the door shuts, even down the nice silver painted exhaust ( bad news that was :( .. )

I ended up feckin soaked, but happy in a weird sort of way..
landie is still up on blocks/ramps, but going to take it down tomorrow/weekend to go for a drive round to dry it all off thoroughly (sunny weekend due?)
then back up in the air for shultzing everything thats needs to be undersealed.

so, I got the hose and stiff broom and swept all the crud away,
started the diesel to try and dry the engine, revved it a bit after a while,
went round the back end to find a huge black gooey mess blown from the exhaust :(
thought - dum fcuk I is !!
so washed it all away again..

warm sunny weekend wanted pleeeese....

was one of the many symptoms I had a while ago. turned out my front bulkhead wasn't earthed and when I ran a new earth strap from bulkhead to engine that prob, plus a shed load of others, all stopped. Might be worth getting a jump lead to make some temp earth connections and see if that sorts things

That would fail the challenge and I might as well ask nrgserv to fit it :D

The challenge is to fit it on my own :eek:

My own fault cause at the weekend I asked Neil to fit it and happened to say "its only 4 bolts, how hard can it be" :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::D:D:D:D:D

Reet, this is the one i done bought...

Realtime GPS Tracker Drive Vehicle Car GPS/GSM/GPRS Tracking System TK103B | eBay

immobiliser, door/current sensing, remote gprs and gps antenna, will link to the siren i have.
Im hoping I can use it to replace the dead LR unit I already have, bought it for the tracker more than the alarm, but a bit of noise wont hurt.
when "armed" it automatically tells you if the vehicle is moved.
having a mosey on the tinterntet, it seems to also text you periodically to let you know its still working, and to stop the PAYG sim dying.
