Bollix!! Could've done without that!:mad:;):D
 
Fitted Synergy 2, Pierburg MAF (bloody anti-tamper screws), 12S socket on towbar. Higher capacity battery.

Tomorrow its to get an extra light and an accessory power socket in the back, fit an iPod adapter and try and get the steering column radio controls to work with the Pioneer head unit I fitted a couple of months ago.

It's great to be able to work outside again.
 
Changed me Disco fuel filter, took about 2 minutes and after priming with the lift pump lever she started again straight away and hasn't missed a beat.
Not usually that lucky, no air locks or spilled diesel this time:D

Might do the oil etc tomorrow if it's nice:)
 
Refitted the steering drop arm ball joint, started this last night and gave up!!, much fun was had getting the old top cup out and the new one fitted but we got there eventually! steering now feels much better.

Replaced the anti roll bar ball joint links and changed the headlights to try and keep the mot tester happy tomorrow.

oh and fitted a shiny new steering guard that won't be so shiny after the weekend i'm sure!
 
I've finshed me welding and fitted new hinge bolts to both me front doors. Sprayed the inside of bulkhead with waste oil.

Very pleased me :D

Soon be time for an MOT:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
