So here's how it looked at the start of the day, about 1pm
And then I set about dismantling the stupid thing.....
So seatbox, footwells and seats out
Fuel tank also came out as I'm making one to sit in the pickup bed
So with all the **** out of the cab I got cracking with the gearbox and yes it is possible to lift the gearbox and transfer as one by yourself with just a towing strap over your shoulders. So handbrake drum off followed by the props and slave then away you go
Then a quick tidy up and done
So left to do tomorrow is to chop up the bulkhead and thats me done until I get the clutch and new flywheel

Last drive for a wile today... gone in for a new head gasket... or possibly head
Got me motor back today
Nice to back behind the wheel of a Landy Not running to sweetly though
Had to swap the head for my spare... so don't now if some old **** has got on a valve seat some were... not much power (less than usual) and sounds 'lumpy' (best way of describing it).
Will take the rocker cover off tommorow and check the rocker clearance's... one might have opened up... we shall see...

Fones are for foning peeps and sending txts. & taking crap pics with the ****e camera.
Pooters are for sending and receiving Emails. Not fones.
None of my fones have emails, BBM or internet set up on them. Have tried using fone for internet once. It's ****e. by the time it's loaded a page and you've zoomed in close enough to be able to read the thing. there's been another 20 fooking posts made..
If I wanna go on net I have 2 netbooks and a Android tablet (Anuffer useless piece of ****e)

Nope I love gadgets got 2 netbooks Bluetooth GPS, blackberry fone. onboard Dash cam. and a few more bits and bobs. But I can't stand things that are ****e at what theyre supposed to do. Anyone who says browsing the net on a fone is great. Either has very low expectations, or is a fooking idiot. Or owns a Brick of a fone. Why would anyone wait 5 minutes for a page to load and then squint like fook at a 2" square screen? When they can have a 10"+ pooter screen and fast scren refresh.
All this smart fone crap is just that, crap. If ya smart you'll wake up to the hype. they've sold ya ****e and you've fallen for it.

Just been driving in very deep snow up a steep lane. Got to the top but then the wheels started slipping and sliding. Engaged Diff locks and managed to slide the Defender round but could not reverse up the hill. I noticed when diff lock engaged I had the front right wheel spinning and the left rear. Is that normal. I thought when diff locks are engaged all four should be spinning?.
which diff do yu think is locked?

Should have put difflock on at the botom of the hill you might have made it up 1st time. Why would you try to reverse up??? all the weight is transferred to the downhills side and the rear end loses all traction.
As to difflock not working try :search: on how ya difflock works. How do you think an axle that has no difflocks could possibly lock it's diff?? How many diffs does a landy have? how many difflocks? where is that difflock located? It helps if you try to think about how summat works, before you assume that it's not working.
