Thread: What work did you do on your Series Land Rover last weekend

Hi All. New mud flaps arrived the other day from the UK, finally found the time to fit them.






Before



Job done


Cheers Simon

Got it running for the first time in years. Pulled off, cleaned, unstuck/ungunked and replaced the clutch master and slave, bled it up and took it for a quick drive - well, not 'quick' as in fast, but 'quick' as in short... No brakes though, so that was entertaining...

did a radiator flush, oil change, new water pump, new thermostat, bled the brakes and drove it out of and then into the shed! major milestone. had to then have a beer before fitting lower dash.

Good choice of beer

Another dat another land rover job or 2

Nearly there with the swivel hub, brake rebuild.






These are now spares as I HAVE ALREADY FITTED SOME


These just need a paint





Painted these too




Fitted Automec pipe


just needs a clean and it will be fine

^^^ Good job on the rims

I've been messing about trying to decide where to fit this external shower box

This position is good but takes up valuable space in the wardrobe, I'm tempted to cut it into the passenger rear wing, so it sits inside the tool box with the pump but I'd prefer it on the driver's side.

Looking good!

Just a point of information, the rim with the raised section around the PCD is from a SIII. These need a slightly longer stud than the regular/early SIIa. So when you fit it up, make sure you have sufficient penetration of the thread into/through the wheel nut.

Personally I fitted up the Clayton-Dewandre brake booster to the SIIB and discussed how to go about repairing the wheel wheelarch cutout by a PO. Also spent time with a mate working on a disk brake conversion kit for any series Landy.

Also painted a 20" rim for my Mk3, removed and painted the front LHS brake and hub, put a first coat of paint on the front and sides of the Mk3. Then re-fitted the newly painted and re-tyred wheel, so I can do the same process on the front RHS plus after that I did some work on the Defender bump stops.

I think its better there than cutting a hole in your side panel. Any way campings all about traveling light you don't need a wardrobe, just turn your pants inside out for maximise usage. Then after that you can use them as a dish cloth, and after that a rag to mop up the daily oil leaks.
