Done nowt tae mine tonight bar drive it. Did make some guid progress cleanin' out the garage tho'. Actually managed tae get me trailer in there tonight and started loadin' it up with stuff for the dump;)
 
After starting the V8 today and one carb flooding (stuck valve) again, and then it deciding not to run propper on gas when it got warm (again), I decided that as good an engine as it is (barely run in) that it's coming out asap (when I've done me Clio cambelt).
Not had a day this week when the fooking thing hasn't broken down and left me stranded without wheels so enough is bloody enough and it has to go.
The whole lot is coming out, V8 , lt85 , and worn disco box to be replaced with a 300 tdi + boxes from a 95 Disco as long as it's good when I hear it running etc at weekend.
When the V8 is running it is superb on petrol or gas but the niggling little problems with carbs, gas, and wires shorting out through crap wiring are doin my ead in.:doh:
Need to use the 110 and need to know that it will run all day without letting me down so as I've no time to fix all the problems with the V8 then it's goin.
Decided....definate....goin.:eek:

Wouldn't it be easier to just use the Disco? .. :)

You mean the rotton as a pear one thats more rusty than the 110 (just)
Thinking last night along the lines of selling the 110 and getting summat decent but I've toooooo much money invested the the dog of land rover that I was well and truly stitched up with.
Throwing good money after bad I know:rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
i've been trying for 2 days to undo the crankshaft pulley, tried as per the manual, in gear and spin the engine, in gear brakes on and braker bar, air gun and it still won't budge?????????????????
 
You turning it the right way?

Or is it just the fan that's cack-handed thread?

that has crossed my mind but its only the fan thats left handed.
i'll try a couple of bolts in the pulley and jam it with a bar against the chassis, if that don't work i'll put it back together and let the garage fight with it
 
I've finally finished (ish) the fokin welding!!!
Really cant look at it anymore, have had so much of welding rear wheel arches, front inner, and floor that all I can think is selling the damn thing!

anyway... here's some pics of what i've been doing over the last..errm...4 weeks I think.

Done bugger all again bar drive it. Still clearin' the ****e oot o' me garage.. managed tae fill the trailer so far!;)
 
Today I glued a tiny bit of trim (the front of the coin tray) back on. I'd broken it off when randomly pulling bits looking for a 12v line to take a feed from.

OK so not as exciting as everyone else, but it is what I did today :D
 
Last night i started painting my springs. Will do the other side when i have done my Assinment for college, Written my CV and a letter for a work placement :rolleyes:
 
bought him a new key last nioght (oh the pain) and later i will be fillin both his tanks up (also painfull)
 
Just filled it with 80 ltrs of Diesel - and I'm very annoyed.

Bio garage shuts at 5, and couldn't get out of work in time, but I needed something in the tank for tomorrow's mammoth expedition to Wales.

Oh well, a couple of days destroying the environment, smelling disgusting, and costing me extra money isn't the end of the world ;)
