Thanks Colin,
I didn't realise it already has a modified transfer case.
Cheers, Mick.

Another cold & wet weekend so little done on Land Rovers.
Found the Tawney Frogmouths are back, the nest is high up so difficult to get a photo, it's mate was lower down.

The wheel came from the father-in-laws property in Gaffneys Creek and was one of the few things that survived the fires. The wheel looked odd on it's own so I made the barrow.

Thanks for the birdy pic Colin

Refurbished dash looks better, not perfect but better.

The vents stick up a bit because both are broken, something else I need to look out for......
Colin
Took Wallit for a drive to Gembrook at the weekend towing a trailer. Earning it's keep collecting Land Rover spares.....
Pulled well but on a few of the hills the speed dropped off, didn't have to drop into 2nd but 3rd was used a fair bit.
As I arrived at the property I found that they knew I was nearby because they had heard Wallit coming from a Km or so away ! You can hold a conversation OK inside because the PO had installed some crude sound deadening but outside it is quite noisy.
Removed a steering box from a vehicle that had sat outside with no roof for many years, turned out to be good enough to donate parts to another steering box I'm rebuilding. Still had oil inside & no water had made it's way in, just one of the two bearing cups was pitted.
When I got back home I noticed some oil spots on the front of the trailer. The Isuzu motor has a huge breather that just dumps oily air, might need a catch can or some other way of catching any oil drops. I'll also investigate the gearbox to check whether the level is dropping, there is always a drip or two underneath but doesn't appear to be anything serious.
Transfer box jumped into neutral once coming down a hill, hasn't done this for a while so I'll have to check adjustments again. Had a car following but fortunately there was a turning I could pull into to come to a stop so I could re-engage.
There's always something to do on a Land Rover......
Colin
Picked up one bearing cup for the steering box today so I can rebuild it at my leisure. Four Wheel Drives had them in-stock and were happy to sell just one cup.
Also arranged to pick up a NOS 6-cylinder water pump next week for $200 from another contact. It's a County brand who, from memory, were around before Britpart/Bearmach.

Another couple for you Rod....Quote:

Love it Colin. Cheers mate
Oh no need for 6cyl. Thanks anyway
Nothing to post about Wallit.
Starts & stops OK but I need to get round to painting the spare bonnet and fitting it.
It gets used most weekends to go to the local trash & treasure market.
A few more Tawny Frogmouth pics.
