Off to see @My Old Landy this afternoon, I’ll pass on my compliments.

Lovely colour 👍

If I were planning on such an investment I’d have the chassis professionally treated for longevity. The bubbling round the screen is unfortunate but not uncommon. Fortunately, to have that treated and reflashed is straight forward enough. Plus one for taking someone who knows these innately...

Warrabout Libyan Sand?

I’m tempted by this colour scheme. Wheels are in being resprayed satin black. Roofs going in to be blasted and sprayed alpine white. Something like this or sand might work.

You had yer toof done 🤣

Got the thing out, both covered in oil. Bloody nut on the earth post snapped off, fortunately there is enough of it left to reattach. Heavy old lump especially when covered in oil. Now the unenviable task of cleaning it up.

I reckon I’ll strip it on the bench and find it’s contaminated with oil and dirt. Worst case I’ll order a solenoid or a whole new unit. Be a bit of fun either way.

Its in the handbook ;)

Loosen the terminals. Key to position before start, off, keys out, then you have approx 17 secs to simple lift off the terminals. The siren might blip, if you’re too late it might go off.

12 degrees up there, sweltering 🤣 Don’t ferget yer ginger ppe.

Get a monster, biggest that’ll fit with highest CCA. IIRC just be mindful of the battery orientation +- as the leads might not reach. @Datatek is the guru.

Indeed, big bugger. Be like wrestling a baby seal out of there as there is so much oil.

On the basis that the conversation with the boss when she gets home outweighs the task. Bathrooms cleaned, gyozas steaming. Also, I’ve emptied the dishwasher so I may have to deny I’ve either broken something or bought an expensive LR part. Maybe this was a step too far.

Motivation is lacking, I either a. do nothing b. go clean the en suit c. remove the stater motor, degrease it and ascertain why it’s sticking - burrits lunchtime nearly. If I can find any motivation I think I’ll do the cleaning, cook some gyoza for lunch, starter motor, and then do nothing?

That’s what I thought, though was open to a challenge.

Certainly looks it. I have a few nick-nacks in my basket 👍

Can we bring in an umpire?

Aye good idea. Need to tackle the washer motor as it’s kaput so will look for an alternative spot.

that wert injun after it got gunked. Plenty of other parts removed now to clean off the oil and access things like the starter motor, engine to chassis earth etc.
