Today I changed the rotton rear mudflap brackets. Very messy job :cry: Found out I had limited access with the drill and some of the rivets are made from a very tough steel. Anyway managed to get them both off which revealed some rust. So I cleaned it all up with a wire wheel, used rust...

So I had slight vibration when braking so I've installed new front discs and pads. Febi Bilstein coated discs and Ferodo premium pads. Upon removal I discovered one of my sliders was seized solid! Couldn't move it until I got some heat on it. All stripped cleaned and greased.

It's currently in the dining room awaiting re covering. I'm not ready for that yet so popped in the plastics to make it a bit nicer till then.

Finished soundproofing/insulating the roof. Its already been sound deadened so I added a layer of this on top.

So I've spent the last day and a half detailing the landy. Wash, dry, clay bar, machine polish (removed at least 90% of the scratches/imperfections), sealed the paint with fusso, plastics treated, glass cleaned, interior cleaned, removed the rear GB badge and to finish it off new number plates...

The final door frame is complete along with sound deadening the door.

Ha ha thanks mate, the scratch is pretty bad, let's the backend down. Appreciate the comment :)

Right, got fed up with the poor rear wiper arm situation. As you can see my rear screen is damaged by the plastic wiper arm twisting and then the body of the wiper blade rubbing on the glass. So I've got a D1 rear wiper arm, bosch blade and a 4 way clip on washer jet. Now this is sorted I can...

Made some replacement supports for behind the grill out of solid 12mm bar then got them galvanized with a chassis cross member and my tow bar bits. All fitted with stainless bolts.

Decided to weld on the LPG filler and trailer electrics brackets to my new shackle mount to get the best positions for them. Dropped it off at the powder coaters and here's the result. Also got the shackle done.

Got hold of a good secondhand throttle body from a friend, smoke tested it yesterday and it passed. Cleaned it up today ready for the new plate and gaskets etc to arrive then I'll swap it over. Will strip the old one and see If I can machine it to accept some kind of seal, just for a spare.

Yes its perfect mate :)

The filter is long gone now but looking at the box and the oil coming out its in very good condition, must of been looked after.

Thanks buddy.

I prefer the pre facelift rear lights so they match the lower lights and fit the protectors properly so I made up a harness and fitted one rear light lol. Still on the search for the NS but much happier with the look.

Discovery 2 4.0 V8 throttle body leaking at the spindle. Is there a o ring or bush that can be changed? This is a 2003 facelift thor. I had the smoke machine on it, please see the video...

So as you know my ace block sprung a leak on the rear pipes. I've set to work! Good condition secondhand block acquired. I removed all the bits ready for the work. Popped to Pirtek and picked up 6 3/8 BSP parallel male to parallel male fittings and 6 dowty washers. When to see my mate...

So when fitting the NSF door frame I noticed my temporary regulator fix had snapped. Luckily I've been working on a permanent fix. I ordered a nylon disc which I countersunk on one side to clear the stainless cut down countersunk bolt. I then found the perfect aluminium spacer in the shed which...

So got another frame finished. Here's a few before and after photos. Also got a good second hand ace block to machine and replace all the pipes with hoses etc. The coolant system refresh was well worth it as its dropped my temps by 15-20c! :cool:

So got the cooling system refreshed on Wednesday. Good job really as the rad was showing signs of leaking. I've replaced all the coolant hoses including the lpg and replaced my gates thermostat with a genuine land rover one. So first off I used a can and a half of this... Liqui Moly Radiator...
