    So took it for a decent run today and had a look underneath when I got home. Seams the transfer box is leaking from what looks like the intermediate shaft to me. Bugger, probably worn oval and needs bushing.

    Right another update guys. Done a few jobs today! First off was to replace the snapped handbrake cable. Sorry only remembered to photo once it was back together. But now its perfect, 3 clicks. Next up the transfer box was slighly damp from oil but not dripping so could be a build up from...

    Well my rear door frame is back from the powder coaters and looking great. I cleaned up all the rubbers so its ready to install at the weekend, weather permitting. Also managed to source a very good condition NSF window frame ready for the same treatment. Just need to find the other 2 in...

    I've managed to source a really good condition OSR door frame with the very slightest bit of rust in one spot. This is now with the powder coaters getting dipped to remove all old paint then zinc under coat with satin black topcoat. That should last many years. As I found out when doing a...

    Fitted a new battery last week but no pics. Also just after fitting my battery he started misfiring on LPG, found the problem after swapping some lpg injectors round. Turned out it was a free fix! All the injectors just needed a strip down and clean. Running perfectly again now I've bought...

    So I went to fit and adjust the center box delete pipe but found out it was miles out and wouldn't work so I made my own. Sounds insane, only drove back from work yet so need more time with it to give my true impressions.

    Cheers buddy, I'm sure I'll get a recording or 2! Yes it's really satisfying knowing it's all been done correctly. No oil leaks at all, bone dry :) For your water leak check the throttle body plate. Very common.

    So got the new rear caliper fitted and bled up. New parts arrived to fix the leak. Part way through stip down. Stripped and awaiting a clean. All fitted and ready to re install with a new throttle body gasket. Picked up a new center section ready for modifying to fit my current...

    So I cut the tip off the back section I made and made it into a slip on tip for the current backbox. This allows me to try the sound and easily remove it if I don't like it. Happily I do so it will stay. I've also got a center box delete pipe on the way to have a play with. My current system...

    Got a few little bits sorted today. First off was the exhaust tip. The original was rusted and looking sorry for itself. So I removed the tip and cleaned it up with a buffing wheel then applied ceramic coating to hopefully keep its appearance. Next up was a bulb change on the climate...

    So todays first job was to redo the LPG filter/pipework under the bonnet. I've fabricated a new stainless bracket to mount the new vapour filter. This was fitted with stainless hardware. I made up new hoses and covered then with black braiding to protect them and sealed each end with heat...

    So had an annoying buzzing noise to the right side of my instrument cluster. Upon looking into it I found out it could be this little temperature sensor... Absolutely fifthly! Stripped it down for a good clean and lube. Much better! And the best part the annoying buzzing has gone...
