Fitted a new lights switch. Yesterday in the snowy blizzard i was driving along holding the lights switch down to make 'em stay on, which was a bit of a worry so I spent £14 on a new one.

Changed gearbox oil so see if it would sort out the gear stick feeling like I'm stirring thick treacle when it's warm, it's better but not completely cured. Idk what it is.
Found a leak or two while underneath too!
Leaky diff, any ideas if this is a simple fix or a sign that a big jobs needs to break out?

Swapped the speedo so i have a working speedo
Fixed the temperature gauge so now it works
Replaced some bulbs so now I can see the new speed and the fixed temperature gauge at night.
An hour well spent.

Just had an up date.... head gasket has blown.. but there is a corrosion pocket in the head face, were the water jacket from the block meets the head (no cross over to the head at this point). So will drag the spare out of the shed tomorrow and have a shufty at that... get it cleaned up and take it over to the man.

It blew out at the back the last time ! About 2 years ago when I was on holiday in St.Ives (Cornwall) !! Got me home though... all the way back to the Flat Lands

Got the gearbox and then transfer box back in today. So much easier in two parts. 
Filled with oil and fired up the engine and tried all gears and all works great, zero whine now but there's no load as yet to put the prop's back on.
Very stiff to change gears but I'm sure they'll loosen up

Replaced drop arm on the defender - Buster is right - it is a sh*t of a job. Angle grinder, puller, cold chisel, hammer - 5 hours later job done:high5:
