In the morning I shall be filling my Disco with Bio deisel again.

Welcome back for lower price, smooth running, nicer smell, but not welcome back for extra grief starting it :(


First though, I've just spotted the time and so need to make a :bolt:and get to the youth club......back later.

Click to expand...

Depending when, I'm thinking it will soon be v cold for camping....maybe somewhere close for a long day.

(Maybe start a "where shall we go next" thread in the green laning section)
 
changed hub seals, gearbox fluid, oil and coolant. also discovered a leak in the power steering box :(
 
Well.. today I finally finished the welding inside and inner front wing..
here's the result...

and removed the left wing... only surface rust, so thats going to be treated and sealed.
and also going to seal all the little holes on that box section above the tyre...no water will get in there!

Put a nice big dent in the roof side just above the drivers door...

Was laning last night with some mates, my landy being about 4" taller than everyone elses didn't make it under a leaning tree... saw it too late and now I have a nice fresh battle scar.
 
stripped out the wiring from the front and rear spots and inside light:eek: i want to move the switches which were across the front of the cubby box and kept getting knocked on by accident:rolleyes: looking at the jumbled mess of wiring thats now lying on my garage floor it'll be a miracle if i ever get the spots working again:eek: :doh: seemed like a good idea at the time tho:rolleyes:
 
Technically nothing on my landy, but a bit for my Landy.
The side frames of my 110 estate (it's not technically a CSW) had rotted very badly so I looked at repairing them ages ago, it's hard to weld to nothing, so iot would have meant fabricating most of the rear of the frame. I went to the local breakers (not Landy specific) looking for a bit for another car, wondered round and found a 110 CSW there. Agreed a price for the slightly rusty frames.
After a few hours of work and lots of swearing I parted with £50 and walked away with the two frames. The best price I found online was around £450 incl VAT& delivery per side for Britpart ones.

I'm so happy.
 
stripped the swivel balls off and replaced every oil seal i could find from them to the wheels!! new discs and pads and a bloody good clean up of everythin!
 
Cleaned the wifes disco took 4 hours what a s##t hole and she moans that me and the kids make a mess of the house.Off to landy garage tomorrow to test drive 110 utility vehicle see how much they give me for part ex
 
(p38 4.6) Drained all the engine coolant off and refilled with 60/40 Ethlene Glycol & Water. Tested it after with Hydrometer- good for -23c
 
Put it back on the road after 4 months:D New fuel pipes, new A frame + ball joint, new tyres, fixed the number plate light, took the down pipes off and put em back on today:blabla::blabla:
 
Took my disco 300tdi out greenlaning for the first time and discovered a whole different way of driving. I also made my passenger cry through fear (he is only 9 though).
 
I picked up my nooo 3 Piece rear seats.

Just gotta find time to fit them now.

I gotta get some bits fitted soon. I'm running out of space in my front room.:eek:
 
Not today, but over the weekend on the Series 2a...fixed wobbly leaky rear, fitted remote axle breathers, put through MOT passed first time no advisories so happy with that :)
