Finally fitted the X-trousers that TimNZ organised last year :eek:. They had got hidden after we came back from the trip last year.
Rearranged the roof bars to better fit the tarp, fixed up the shovel holders.

What model is your Landy? I have a D2 HSE and have been told that the heating elements are probably in the seats.Quote:

element --> chair wiring --> console wiring --> switches
what you want to do is check the back of the seat near the base. look for a wire going into the chair. on the passenger chair, its in the right hand side.
this will tell if the heat has the elements in it.
as far as i know, all d2's have the console wiring
if you do have the element/chair wiring, you will need to buy switches and you should be good to go.

here is a vid of installing the switches, they also sell the switch and face plate. much cheaper to get it from a wrecker.
pm me if you need more info
Yep. A bad back.Quote:

I decided to do "Option B". I was just going to remove the shuttle switches only but one of the bolts snapped. So I had to remove the whole ABS modulator. I then tried to drill out the broken bolt but did not quite get the drill dead centre.
So next thing was a helicoil. I went into town to purchase a kit and all is now fixed. ABS modulator has been refitted. As most of the brake fluid was lost from the master cyl, I decided it would be a good time to to do a complete brake fluid change.
So I removed the master cyl to remove the plastic reservoir, so I could clean it. I gave it a good clean with water. It is now sitting beside my wood heater overnight to make sure every bit of moisture is gone. I will refit tomorrow and bleed system.
As you have the reservoir out now is the time to replace the rubber grommets if they haven't been done recently. If they are original then they will most likely leak when you put the reservoir back. Mine gave up after driving on corrugations.Quote:
