My younger daughter and husband (also a "Weegie") live in Glasgow.
I consider myself to be a "born-again Scot" as it's always been my favourite neck of the woods...especially from Mull, Skye and beyond!
If you have a trolley jack at each corner, I guess that makes your Landy a 16 x 16 ;~}

Not done much else unfortunately, plus a bit of fiddling with minor jobs.

Thought I'd do the back brakes as there was a loud bang followed by loud squealing

Did the rad last month, had a bit of a leak

It's a good job you can keep smiling!

after fitting new wiper "cog-wire", wiper units and arms a couple of weeks back the left wiper progressively got worse until it barely twitched with the wipers on. Drivers side was perfect. As my dash is in a permanent state of easy access I could see that the wiper spindle wasn't turning when the gear rotated. Took it apart and it looks like the cog is only press fitted onto the spindle, no keyway or locking. I took a pillar drill to the cog/spindle to create a bit of a keyway and did a very nasty spot weld (ran out of gas last week) to keep the two together. Put it all back and now works a treat, just a shame every single job needs doing twice and fettling.

OK, so the drivers side failed today while coming home in the rain. {breathing deeply}
Had enough of this. Gone and spent a ridiculous amount of money on a replacement https://www.designdevelopmenteng.co...A-Defender-Wiper-Wheel-Box-UPTO-02-p118376865
Happy Christmas to me.

Looks like a great, if long overdue, investment! ENJOY!
