well.... I have written few notes in Landyzone, I have sent email to famous four for my new turbo, I did check my new engine oil level in the morning and off for a spin in town. I have been wondering about my set of tires and the funny noises coming out of my car. Just a normal day for a Land Rover Defender Owner
 
Moved it so I can get the wifes Mondeo onto the concrete, warped front disc, AGAIN!!

Must be something wrong elsewhere 'cos it's the second in 5000 miles, after new driveshafts, ARB arms, wishbones and all bushes etc ...
 
I haven't done any work on it today but I did wake up on the roof of it this morning.:D
 
Took the front grille off, gave the radiator a thorough wash, put road tyres on, checked the jack is all there (the base is missing), washed the underside and the rest. Taking the badges off the grille later (too hot to move now, it's afternoon nap time). Checked oil, water and coolant.
 
fitted light bar , wired it all in , added a sly little switch, dont like switches all over the shop so changed a ex volume switch for a second hand rear window wiper and that is being used as tge switch, may devise away to change the logo on from wipers to lamps :D
 
Removed Engine & gearbox from the convertable, with the fantastic support of Snifflebag. Thank you, once again.
