But I'll bet you forgot to ask them to do something with that damned steering lock stop bolt that's been causing you grief!
 
Made up a bump stop spacer to bridge the huge gap between chassis and axle at the front..
More welding... And painted the battery tray.
 
Ever since I bought the D2 I was noticing a slight knocking sound whenever I went over rough terrain or bumps. I have checked the bushes throughly all round and all seemed well so have left it whilst doing other jobs. Now the exhaust is fixed, I decided to take another look today.

Expecting to find something expensive and difficult I was pleasantly surprised to find the source of the knocking was the heat shield above the middle silencer. it was loose on one end due to the shield wearing away around the two rear fixings. A quick trip to Halfords and two large washers later, it is now secure and a test drive over some rough terrain. No more knocking. If only all problems were so easily resolved!

Changed oil, air and fuel filters. Plus used some engine flush before putting new oil in.

There is a strange rattle coming from the gearbox, rear engine sort of area, can't pinpoint exactly but it spuds almost like a chirping from a bird. Anyone have any idea what it may be? I did notice there is a slight leak from the front prop to transfer box seal. But the fluid only drops slightly from fill up, and I filled it about 3 days ago
