MoT and service by my local indie garage; yes, I do trust him.
MoT failed on a track rod end, but he replaced it OK. An advisory for "a slight oil leak", so I reminded him that it was a Land Rover and it was supposed to leak (either from the outside in or from the inside outwards), it's the law! Either that or it was the patented Land Rover chassis anti-corrosion mechanism.
He also did a full fluid change for me .... yeah, I know, I could do it myself but it's getting rid of the old stuff which becomes a pain.
I provided all the replacement filters and also the bits to repair the rear prop shaft. Well it's easier for him to do it with the Disco up on the lift waiting for the oils to drain out than for me to do it on a crawler board with it up on a jack.

Well been busy again:
Fitted 2 new front wiper gearboxes.
Pulled through the CB coax.
Removed the dash binnacle and cleaned it all.
Pulled through the wiring for the heated mirror on the driver's side
Pulled through the multicore cable to the engine bay plus power cable and routed to centre dash.
Replaced the water temperature sender (with the TD5 dash compatible version) and topped up the coolant.
Altered the wiring to the dash to stop the trailer light flashing once when you indicate
Fixed the light in the hazard light switch
Fitted the Raptor trim panels
Fitted the pod for the Raptor top pod for my extra gauges
Refitted the Raptor centre dash
Put most of the dashboard back together following the major re-working.....
After I've been shopping I'm going to wire up the clocks to a multi-plug ready to install tomorrow.
Still plenty to do from my Christmas spending spree....
diff guards, steering guards, black chequer plate bonnet and wing covers, 2 sets of speakers, rear roof lining, sealant for the light bar, wire front winch bumper spots, finish the dash, some final wiring for the centre dash, adjust the front doors so they fit the holes!, fit the carpet in the back, fit the new exhaust, some hammerite touch up on the light bar, light protectors and winch bumper.

Fixed the earth problem on my O/S headlight, found a terminal block that was joining feed wires, which are, in my opinion, the work of Satan. Changed that for crimped terminals, and the headlight is no longer stealing an earth from the indicators and stopping them from working.
Also re-wired the O/S angel eye sidelight, best time to do it, when it's pitch black
Plus checked all levels of fluid under the bonnet.

wammers lives in preston,or just outside.he is very good on landy's,allegedly.lol.
I've noticed a few Landy owners around the area who might be on here (2-4 landys on their drives and lots of extras!). After I bought the landy a friend at work told me his brother is landy mad and he has been my landy guru since then although I have done most of the work including some of the welding he did the really obvious welding and a number of other jobs as he is a professional
. I've done all the wiring etc as that is my bag. Once this is where I want it I am starting a second vehicle, a series 3 109/discovery 300TDi hybrid..... I've got the original doors and a few bits from this car plus a series body and an MOT failure disco1 300TDi

ok,sounds like you have got your hands full with all this.good luck.
Thanks. I'm starting to sub let part of an old service centre in the summer so it should be a lot easier. Over the last few days I have been limited by running out of light and it got quite cold and wet. Hopefully most of the jobs coming up are bolt on type jobs so it should be a bit easier.
We've started a bit of a craze at work..... One of the lads said he suggested getting a Landrover Defender 90 to his wife who is right up for it and given him an £8K budget. There are a couple I've found for £7000 which he should get for £6500 then £1500 on additional toys maybe......
