As it's possible that we may be getting some snow again over the next day or so I took mine for a spin to go and pick up some coal and to charge the batteries up. After getting home I decided to fit my noo headlights and bulbs that I've been meaning to do for the last couple of weeks. I stripped thee panels off but after seeing the state of the retaining rings on my current headlights I thought it best to leave them well alone until I have some new ones to go on. They looked like they'd just crumble into dust if I touched em.:mad::eek:

I then cracked on with doing some fairly major (well it would have been if I didn't sort it out) re-wiring after I found an 'issue' a week or so ago. While re-wiring I decided to clean the oil out of my ECU again.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Changed fuel filter, engine oil and filter, transfer box oil, gearbox oil, rear axle fluid and front axle fluid. Might get around to draining and renewing the swivel grease and coolant and might just check prop uj's to see if they need a wee bit more grease this weekend;)
Don't need to renew clutch fluid, brake fluid and power steering fluid as they were done not that long ago. Also renewed glow plugs and all the injectors last week;):D:D
 
Hellicoiled the transfer box as the studs were going round and round and round and round, change some more seals on the gearbox, put the gearbox in, bolted all up. Then realised I had somehow let the handbrake swivel-thingmy twist round, and now the gearbox is in the way, i'd be buggered if I was taking the gearbox out again! So did it another way.
 
i fitted a new starter motor to my discovery over xmas..bloody thing has just burnt out so its gotta come off...and get it replaced i wonder how often it happens with new starters ??? [refurb]or am i just unlucky:confused:
 
Finally got around to bolting my roof on ....it just didnt feel safe with cable ties holding it on !! and took out the heater fan as its fooked.....squirted a load of mastic around the inside of the doors to try and keep more weather outside the car :(
 
All brakes ( dics, calipers, pads, hand brake cable, all brake metal pipes, rear shoes and cylinder repair kits) and if thats not enough have a clutch kit and release fork waiting in the garage
 
Apart from drivin' it today, Ah only got as far as changin' the swivel housing grease tonight before the need fur beer kicked in;):D:D
 
well yesterday finally got round to fitting my paras, only 2 stubborn bolts, couldn't believe my luck, took all day though, looking good now, not dragging its arse, still cant drive her though, one dodgy brake pipe (n/s rear) new pipe and flaring tool on order though!! not long now!!
 
Yesterday i took the battery earth off, cleaned the ends and copper greased it so hopefully that'll fix my electrical problem. Also fitted my new starter motor that I got from Island 4x4 - Specialists in Land Rover and Range Rover Parts and accessories for all models.
