Thanks, but a bit too itchy scratchy for me.....

As I keep picking away at silly little things, which need doing, the latest of which was a new battery, as the one fitted was very small and after a 20 mile drive on the Dual carriageway with the sidelights on, I left it outside the Engineering firm I was visiting with the sidelights on for no...

Winter has brought Activities to a near standstill. I had noticed that there was a fault code logged for heater plugs on my Wife's Duster, so I got a set for it and fitted them just before it got cold. Good job 2 were open circuit, explaining the fault code. Then the Sister in law says her...

Today I remembered to get a pin for my Military front Bumper. A quick check in Angus and Perthshire Bearings, our local Bearings, nut and bolt shop and Agrifactors found a Vapormatic pin for the princely sum of 4 quid plus vat. That'll do me. Ordered a Swing away wheel carrier for the next...

I forgot about the Slick shift. I have been debating this for months and eventually decided to do it. I have driven cars with quick shifts fitted that made them feel notchy and easy to get lost in a box full of neutrals. The kit was easy to fit and in my opinion is just right. It is more...

Pretty much they are plastic top pieces that fit in place of the original covers, but they have a second piece which attaches to the first and covers the cross member ends.

Yes. That's the very thing. Normally for me, I wasn't really paying attention and after doing the Bulkhead and getting it all together, the hole in the inner mudguard just looked like a problem waiting to happen, so I got the front ones, which I thought were reasonably priced, without realising...

A couple of pics of the latest additions If these had been a Factory fit then the Chassis would last a lot longer, so simple it's Genius. Finally the console, well made and strong. If you don't use the lower cut outs, you don't have to cut the lower dash panel, so it's all good.

I looked at the Stainless Bulkhead, but the cost was high, I went with the SP Panels Bulkhead and the only issue was drilling out the vent flap hinges for the pins, which was easy enough once I had made a long thin holder for the 5mm drill I used in the cordless. This kept the drill out of the...

Been keeping a low profile, the weather's not helping either, plus my Son and partner have got a Pup, a Labsky, so it has been Doggy Daycare this last few weeks during office hours, which if I'm honest, I've been enjoying. I've got the front output for the Transfer box, so just need to get it...

Hi. Sorry this sold at the weekend and I had forgotten about this ad. Apologies

Still working on the Driveline noise. Wheelbearings have all checked out ok. The front Drive flange on the transfer box has movement on it. I wonder if it was driven with a damaged front prop u/j, which failed in such a way that a new front prop was reqd. Instead of just a new centre piece...

Didn't fancy the prices though, will check the Agrifactors for something I can chop up to Suit.

It's just the Britpart Galv version, prepped and painted with Tetrosyl Chassis Black, obtained through Vitesse Land Rover. They were very keen on price on all of the items, which was a bonus as it also meant free carriage. I have used several Land Rover Specialist suppliers and have had good...

Been distracted lately. I put it in for it's MOT, which it failed for a split TRE boot round the back where I didn't spot it. Easy to fix and pass. The tester said it was looking great otherwise, so that's all good then . I've been picking off odd little jobs, I intend to keep this up over the...

Bringing this up to date is the last of the pictures. I did sort of fall at the last fence with this. The Bulkhead was a great fit and it all went back together as well as it was before. Problem started with fitting the bonnet which was now touching the wing at the osr??!! I did have the...

SOLD

Now Sold.

Well it's back on the road and, sadly it looks the same as it did before I started.... However I do feel much more confident about next months MOT. Now that I'm allowed. Ido have some Rusty Tat to sell on, so check out the for sale section..... More soon

Day 12...... It'a a grind this. Would be great if it were just `re-assembly is the reverse of dis-assembly' but of course it isn't. Every bit that came off has to be examined, assessed, replaced or worse still dismantled, de-rusted, Painted and re-assembled then fitted. This is why I did it...
