Drove it around quite a bit. With and without a divan bed on the roof :D Rebuilt cylinder head and replaced boost diaphragm have really made a difference to the old TD :)
 
I've almost had enough! I do something to it every day, but if one ( or two or three) more things go wrong, that's it, up for sale ... driving me nuts and bolts ...

In the process of desperately trying to buy mine back....
 
Some LED lights for my interior came today. Very bright but you can see a distinct square pattern on the inside of the plastic covers when they're on. The old filament bulbs gave a more diffuse, if somewhat dark brown light. I can see to read inside now.
 
stripped out most of dash to access the wiper running gear. ball ache of a job really, trust LR to put a few fixings a nice easy to get at places, NOT!
 
Fixed it.
FIP changed, re timed, new pushrods, new cambelt, and she runs.
Very lumpy, but she runs, currently putting it down to valve clearances being way out, not done em yet, valve caps are that worn, ive ordered a new set, so I'll set em after that.
If its still lumps, i must have got the belt a notch out... again... :/
