Driven it for the first time in over 6 weeks. Started easily, and such a pleasure to drive. Funny how, even with the feeble heater, you don't feel the cold (round town anyway). It has half a ton of firewood in the back, to deliver tomorrow. Feels nice and steady! Note to self: must do something about the front swivel seals before the mot. The left one has emptied itself down the tyre and on the road. The right one has grease in it, so doesn't leak so much. :eek:
 
Found out the boots a bit worse than i'd hoped!

Fitted Discovery Transfer Box to the Wife's 200Tdi 90. Wow what a difference... has to be one of the singlemost best modifications for a Defender (apart from a set of Mud Terrains). Despite being on 235/85R16's it pulls 70 mph no worries.

checked inside the car for leaks, none found :) (you lot have got me paranoid about leaks)
did find a slight drip on the coolant coming off a little bolt under the throttle assembly :(

looked at her and thought about driving as fast and as far away as i can from my little brast, sorry loving kids...............:frusty:
 
Bought some oil for it so I can give her a much needed oil change.

Then got told by ballast that she's gonna be using it to go to work all this week.

I shoulda saved my money for repairing what she breaks.:doh:
