New(to me) V8 on engine frame in garage stripped down to block with crank and pistons waiting for a gasket set, then robbing all the good bits off V8 in Disco which is nearly ready to come out.

Make one good engine out of the two as the one in the car has a suspected cracked liner and a leaking rear main seal.
Then just build up the one on the engine stand and pop it in when I 've removed the old one

The I've gotta sort out the water leak into the Disco 2, water leaking out the upper seatbelt mount on n/s and also dripping through the roof lining in the boot so it looks like the roof lining is coming out and I've ordered some tiger seal, sunroof seals and some epoxy resin as I suspect the sunroof drain hole tubes may well be broken, never a quiet day off with a Discovery!

I can see why you might want to have a character from the little mermaid, for the plains - but wouldnt an aerial be better?

Had to buy a new battery, I thought I may have some current drain after fitting the alarm/imobiliser a couple of weeks ago but when I measured it there was only 10ma drain, so off to Euro car parts for 64 quids worth of Varta's finest.
