Put an Ashcrfot ATB in your transfer case and never worry about shims again :) Wish they'd do one for LT95s :(

Put it back together, FINALLY finished unpacking it after Glenreagh :D
It coughed a few times on the first start up but it's been sitting for =/> a month with zero fuel so I guess that's not surprising.
Interesting, now I get all the warning lights test while waiting for the glow plugs to go out, but in the second or so that it cranks I get the three amigoes :confused:
Odd.
Much smoother, certainly feels like it picks up a bit better after the EGR clean up. Felt surprisingly spritely after zapping around in Mum's Liberty..... :angel:
Now I just need to rebuild and balance the front prop, do both the front and rear diff pinion seals and give it a major service.
All that before I can start buying toys :( :)
Started pulling it down to do the head gaskets, cam and hopefully rockers. I pretty much if it wasn't only 30,000ks old do rings and bearings as well.
Last week when I was home I fitted this

Also bolted on a pair of MR Autos front recovery points
My "today" job was a little lame really. I just gave the old girl a long overdue wash and a underbody spray with lanotek in readiness for my annual Pre-Christmas trip to Fraser. Oh, I did also degrease the engine bay and top up the washer fluid!! :)
I did think whilst I was underneath that it must have been a frustrated railway engineer who designed the chassis.
350 000 kms, 9 trips to Fraser and not even a spec of rust underneath. Tough old bird! (It must be the constant loss oil systen I seem to have!)
Cant wait to drive of the barge and reconnect with paradise.

Took my Defender to the dump.....
.. bought it back too ! :lol:
Hmm, ran wires up to the roof so I could mount my UHF in the space above the rear view mirror. Thank goodness for fuses, not to self, do not connect UHF to power with ignition on :wasntme:
Then I realised that after a day in the hot sun, doubled sided tape wasn't cutting it :p So it's now screwed in.
Checked the oil, coolant, had a peep underneath, amazing it's not leaking anything except for the diffs :eek:
Handbrake adjustment and bullbar indicators tomorrow :)
