Thread: What did you do on your Landy today?

Put it back together, FINALLY finished unpacking it after Glenreagh
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
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.....
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

You what, put it back on? Every one else, myself included spend money purchasing kits to remove it and you are putting it back!

I think you need an appointment with Dr Phil

The great big thing wouldn't fit in the tub, so I couldn't use that to check for leaks and now what to do?

One of the advantages of living in a warmer climate.

If I have a leak I wait until SWMBO is not around and chuck the wheel in the pool.

I haven't got a kit yet, I pulled it off to see if it was still working and cleaned it

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.....
