Thread: What did you do on your Perentie Today.

Lol flat bottoms usually progress to flat bottomed rims lol. Preventative maintenance

Have spent the last few day fitting the long range fuel tank and water tank under the 6x6 tray and still have enough room for a 2nd spare behind it all! 340L of fuel and 85L of water - that should be enough with the 2 standard tanks to get me where I want to go plus a fair margin to spare. Added an electric transfer pump and plumbed the fuel line into the T piece on the breather line on the drivers side tank. Filler and breather is mounted on the front of the tray just behind the drivers side tank filler. The idea is to just top up this tank as it gets low and keep the passenger side one till the auxiliary has run dry. I removed the breather pipe between the 2 tanks and have added a breather on each tank that comes up behind the cab - so shouldn't have any more piddle spots when I fuel up now. Also got around to fabricating the bracket to mount the York air compressor on top of the aircon compressor and have finished that install. The compressor and 2 15Litre alum tanks works well, the tanks have a 70/100psi switch to work the compressor which is driven off the 2nd groove on the alternator pulley. Pretty wet here today so not much happening but still have to finish the taps for the water tank lines - maybe next week!! Photos to come.

Pull the tube out and fit a tubeless stem. Most flats with these are from tyres rubbing holes in the tubes as they flex.

Will look at that as an option later.

Depressingly the battery has gone flat through lack of use (been ill or away for the last month, so no Landy fun), so i'm going to do battle with the passenger seat, take it out and charge it, then put a cover over the old girl until next weekend when I have time to reinstall and take her for a spin...

I added 40 watts of solar to keep battery topped up.

New fluids, filters, fuses & brake MC on the weekend. Also chased down why my tail lights wern't working [I had replaced the number plate light cover and the new screw was slightly longer/shorting] and finished removal of the rear seat [rattle gun helped]

Discovered a problem with my perentie when parked for longer than 10 minutes...

other land rovers keep appearing out of nowhere - and image upload seems to have failed
