Thread: What did you do on your Landy today?

Changed the headlight bulbs for some H4 +120's as low beam had blown on the drivers side.

Following a big *crack!* going up a hill.

suspect a combination of rear cw+pinion + front cv.

Maxidrive axles and MD diff lock in rear + maxidrive axles and HD CVs in the front.



...oh well, I guess I know what im doing next weekend.

Watching with interest.

Was only up your way a couple of weeks ago and probably just around the corner but wasn't Landy mounted this trip.

What vehicle did you do this to, and how do you like them?
I'm looking to get the "Truck Lite High Intensity" lights for my Puma, but want something better to do the job until I get them as a short term fix.

Set up a new temporary air intake on the D1 V8 so it's a little more water friendly. Then promptly proceeded to test it out on the railway service track behind our property - Big muddy bog holes and long rutted muddy sections.

Forgot why I was there and got a bit carried away, ended up about 20ks down the track and got home in the dark so photos tommorow

Now I know it works going to order some polished aluminium pipe and make it all again.

Timing belt and p gasket on the ute thermostat rad cap rear window reg wired up an outlet for the fridge and a full detail for the disco

Slowly crossing items off the list.

Spring change was ok, but ended up using spring compressors and a bottle jack to do the change over. I discovered the diff lock switch is completely cactus. I locked the cdl while the disco was jacked up and forgot to unlock but didn't get chimes or dash light. The traction control firing off while doing a tight turn in reverse was a bit of a giveaway!

The todo list:
- Fluid change diffs, transfer case
- Oil and filter change Td5
- Fluid change power steering and ACE, replace rubbed PAS hose
- extract stuffed torx screw, replace filter and do second fluid change on Auto.
- Fit new dobinsons springs and koni heavy track shocks
- replace faulty diff lock switch

Defender 130 300TDI. Haven't been for a drive with them yet, but just shining them against the shed door they are heaps brighter and should make a big difference on the road.

I will eventually go for the Trucklite Phase 7's but just needed to fix the blown globe and thought I may as well improve the lighting at the same time.
