Half swapped the rear view mirror, put it in but didn't put the headlining back in.

Took the back wheel off to try and grind the mudflaps off with a dremel but gave up.

It's too sunny and drinking cider while doing it made think, why bother?

So I retired in doors with more alcohols.

how much were they bucky???

Neilster · Jul 9, 2013

I changed the gearbox oil in my manual TD5.

What a difference!! Smooth gear changes and it no longer holds on the gears after a long drive.

I'd recommend anyone do this simple job.

What are you getting to replace it?

suew · Jul 10, 2013

Used t cut on one side to get rid of all the scratches from laning.

Now it looks odd as I didn't get round to the other side, job for today

.

Not sure there was any point, it will get scratched again at the weekend.

Shogun or Land Cruiser or L322, although the odds are in favour of the slitties at the mo :jaw:

Thankfully that'll never happen!
I wanted something newer with horse box towing capacity and to be totally honest I fancied trying something different car wise.
It'll perhaps only be a brief Japanese flirtation as I'd like to be back in a Land Rover one day, it'll just be when I can find exactly what I want at 'sensible' money
