Jet washed the underneath and engine bay of mine. Discovered that POR15 rust paint doesn't seem to stick. :mad: so gotta do that again.
Then was gonna remove my muddy carpets but that was delayed after all my windows started to play up. Problem was traced to a short in the window ecu.
Fixed and now just enough time to clear up and go get ready for work.
 
Fitted Anderson connectors to both the outside of my seat box, and one end of my jump leads.

Ill soon be restricting access to the battery compartment with modified seats, so the Andersons could be a godsend.
 
took the new front prop off the old 90 (front drive flang nut had worked loose :mad:)

As the met office is predicting a big drop in temperature in the coming days I decided to make sure I get the best out of the heating system on my landy. I flushed the cooling system out and replaced the anti-freeze, lubed up the heater control cables, and checked the drain valve in the heater intake on the wing was clear. I also topped up the screenwash and checked the wiper blades were in good nick.
 
As its gonna be cold I have removed all the water from me 200tdi to save it freezing.
