Got annoyed with it when starter wouldnt work again, at least no blown fuses this time, ordered new ignition switch.
Cant be anything else in the circuit, its had a noo starter and relay, wirings all fine and dandy.

Discussed rusty body mounts with the MOT man
He doesn't like them
But he can replace them which sounds like a good idea.

rear outrigger?
Mine has gone, got a replacement just need a welder to fit it. I got it through the MOT by wrapping some galvanised plastic around it
If they can't see it, they dont test it But i did with the intention of replacing it anyway

No, all 4 are front or central. Haven't actually seen the problem, only discussed it over the phone, but I trust the guy. He's thorough but I've never known him not be right.

The previous owner of my series deserves to have his house burned down and someone rape his cat
He's only gone and welded on the bulkhead outrigger squint so I've had to modify the bastard with some packing plates to get it near ish to the right position so my door shuts right. That and he's welded the footwell to the bulkhead chassis support!
Not to mention the fact that the recovery eye he welded on snapped off when I hit it with a small hammer.....
Decided I'm going to find a good second hand chassis at some point during the year and then transfer all the bits over after reinforcing it with some extra plates

Got towed home with the alarm blaring and all lights flashing yesterday.
Quite distracting really when being towed.

Well I fitted body side hinge bolts to the bottom drivers door hinge - Will do all the rest tomorrow with the heated wing mirrors.....
Did the trim over the safari door and fitted 2 6" speakers into it then did the roof lining then fitted two speakers in the front.....
There's not enough clearance between the speaker on the wiper pod and the motor so had to order a speaker spacer but used 4 nuts just for now.

Fitted the new transfer box, now I can hear the radio! (Thanks James Martin, works a treat)
Took her for a test run along a really gentle green lane. Part way along I heard a horrible noise that seemed to be coming from the front. It sounded like something was knackered in the diff. Got out and crawled around in the mud and wet, nothing looked out of place. Headed home and as I picked up speed it became clear I wasn't going to make it. Got out and checked everything up front then wondered around the back, the exhaust was dragging on the ground. It had fallen off the crossmember bracket.
If only all my land rover problems were so easily fixed

Cleaned the front hubs, radius arms and sprayed all steering rods.
