just gotta wait for the tyres now whichj were meant to be here last thursday :(
 
Fitted my Raptor dash and changed my bucket seats for a set of MGF seats, well impressed with seats only down side my wife says she can now reach the pedals comfortably and wants to have a go driving it:eek::eek:

Oh no! quick... send them back and claim they were broken! Or the wrong colour ;)
 
Got round to dismantling and cleaning the winch gearbox and cleaning and repairing the motor end plate .. Only a chemical metal repair, but it's better than flying a new one in from the states .. and when it's all bolted up it's only a bearing support for the front of the motor.

OK, it also keeps the length of the winch correct, but who's quibbling? ;)

Gearbox ..

It's all still a bit rough for the now, but I can't afford new solenoids, at least one doesn't work out of the pack that came with it and the spares I got are U/S. I also don't have, and can't afford a control box, so unlikely to be ready for Wales on the 20th ...v:(

If I get a solenoid or solenoid pack I can wire up some switch, I guess, to work it no sweat ... and I have a few bits going on ebay soon, not landy bits though .. ;)
 
Finished off the swivel pins and swivel bearings after bad light stopped play yesterday ... no more steering shake and steering is beautiful ... for a Land Rover ;)

Mine's still at the mechanics getting flanges, gaskets and seals sorted. She now has rock sliders I can't wait to test :D I haven't seen her for almost a week, hope to go and pick her up tomorrow afternoon. Will post pictures (if your interested to see the rocksliders, Mirco the mechanic made them himself)
 
not mine but today i've done a service on the tidiest 90 i,ve ever seen, heated leather exmoor trim seats, shiny as a mirror :) serious landy jealousy there :rolleyes: and changed an alternator on a disco 3 and got another one to do tomorrow . .
 
Abandoned it at some dodgy back street garage. Where the owner was busy mullering fook out of a disco's front axle.. in a vain attempt to get the swivel pin out of it's housing :eek:
 
Finally got 6 months tax for the V8. Went to start the beast, no go, starter motor screwed. :( Ordered new, have to wait for delivery now....
