Isn't that something to do with hitting the rear wheel arch?

Not so much today but Saturday I-
replaced the harmonic damper on my TD5
replaced the front near side swivel housing including all seals, pins, bearings
Fitted a grease nipple to No 1 balljoint
Changed the vent seals (its a Defender after all ;)
Changed all the brake pads
Bled about 3 ltrs of fluid through the braking system to finally get a decent pedal
Removed a cable from under the roof lining to stop an annoying rattle.
Adjusted the passenger door striker as I was sick of the wife having to slam the bloody door!!
Also replaced the injector loom on a Disco 2 and helped change an exhaust on another D2.
Bloody long day but now looking forward to a nice suspension upgrade next month :D
At the weekend while on a club trip I decided to put the recovery hitch into the tow bar, it didn't go ! :mad:
The inside measurement across the hole was correct but the corners had a rather large radius and the hitch bar had sharp corners.
Job today was the grinding the corners so the hitch bar now slides in easily and while at it, I cross drilled the bar so now the shackle pin can be set verticality.
Not strictly a Land Rover fix, but then 'Fred' has been a good boy lately so apart from a oil and filter change every ten tankfuls of diesel, I haven't needed to lay a spanner on him since the time the O-ring leaked on the power steering pump. :thumbsup:
Put the old girl on bricks, had some tyres stripped off the rims and took the rims in for powdercoating.
Installed Maxidrive axles... Been hunting around for some for a while and finally found some. No longer have to be afraid. Now I need to find a home for 3 sets of stockers. :D
Just the original colour. The powdercoat colour that matched was called Magnolia or something weird like that. Same as the body colour. The 4 rims on it and 2x military spares are being blasted and powder coated to match. Should come out well hopefully.
Here is a magnolia colour sample below. I thought Magnolia were a flower or something.

I fitted a 40W flexible solar panel onto the bonnet of my P38 with a solar regulator next to the fuse box now supplying a trickle charge to the battery.
No more dead battery in a week because one of the computers decides to stay awake.
Changed the belts
And measured up for a front bash plate, And diff guards.
