Looks like spring has arrived here.-2c first thing in the morning, reaching a high of 18c. Time to clear out the garage and do all those jobs one does in the spring, several trips to the tip I think. Then I can get to my tools and start doing a few jobs on my Defender.
Grease up, oil change, check out all my camping gear ready for my trip to Morocco in five weeks time. Work out how to carry and store all the stuff I will need.
 
need to secure my exhaust because its rattling badly.

Does anyone know if there are any adjustments I can make to the transfer box, im not quite getting enough travel to get it into low range, and if i set it up so i can get it in low, i cant get it to stay in high range.

If that makes sense....... :(:rolleyes:

Make sure there is no dried mud/dirt preventing it from moving
 
Fitted my new exhaust after some modifications. Standard 2.5TD exhaust is about 4" too long in the middle.

Put second coat of black on my battery box.

Connected up my alternator electrically so I can test it :s

Noticed that my rocker cover is ****ing oil out the top! Hoping a bit of PTFE will fix it.
 
spent a couple of hours this afternoon getting the rear arches covered in high build primer before flatting em back and spraying the first couple of coats of satin....

I have finally got my replacement gearbox & transfer box in round two tomorow putting the insides back in then hopefully testdrive tomorow :D
 
was going to fit my new gearbox mounts today but i've got the wrong ones :( so sorted out the dodgy wiring of my headunit loom. all soldered up with heatshrink tubing alot tidier and no more lack of headunit now hopefully
 
Put a scoop of Cotswold Chippings in the back, Probably weighed about 600Kg . & went & hid whilst BB shoveled it all out on his lonesome.. :D

Then filled it with a load of Branches & crap & took it to local recycling center.

allows selector to wobble backwards and forwards. will only get worse :eek:
 
Popped down to fanatics to do some wiring to his 90 and then fitted the chip to my 110 before pootling down to Taunton to have a look at someone's trouble td5.
