Made and welded in repair pannels for the inner arch of my Disco, thought it was only going to need a patch.

Wrong

Also changed the glow plug that was hiding behind the air con pump.
 
Today I spent two hours, stripping down the hydraulic pack hull down again, and replaced the float switch. Then the new one packed up too. Aaaaaaaaa some days I cant win!
 
Rear door wouldn't open, stripped out inner door panel lubricated moving parts and bingo all sorted.
Tried to see why front parking sensors wouldn't work, only to find I don't have any,lol
 
Fitted new Td5 water pump, and new top hose to replace the one that heat-failed (old one was 1.5 yr old Britpart). This time I used the spring clips that came with it, having realised that Jubilees don't do heat compensation

Then changed oil and filters, then overhauled rear prop

UJ's went nice and easy, but getting out the old centring bush at the rubber donut end was one hell of a fight. Broke my new slide hammer, blowtorch also failed, so I just hacksawed it then belted it out with hammer and old screwdriver. Satisfying
 
Took the sill panels off to see how metal was left (answer: I've seen worse but they still need welding).

Disco retaliated by killing the battery.
(It was on borrowed time anyway, that battery).
 
Popped an engine in the empty engine bay:cool:

Starting to fix it all in tomorrow:)

Not much , managed to get gearbox mounts lined up and bolted to chassis.
Handbrake tomorrow, see what fits and what doesn't,:)
 
I drove it to Nottingham and back and kept looking for faults with the Nanocom. No new ones showed themselves so I seem to have got rid of "15.2 high speed crank (logged)" for the time being, as a result of changing the crank sensor. In addition I think the cylinder balance has improved - the values were getting rather high, especially on deceleration/overrun, but now they're pretty close to zero, and only very occasionally do you see anything as high as a 4. So that's an improvement.
