Disco engine got stripped down to a short block (still in car) for head gaskets, cam and timing chain plus lifters. Whoever decided that the sump needs removing to pull the timing cover, if I ever come across you LOOK OUT!

Removed, cleaned, replaced the sedimenter also replaced plastic drain bolt with SS one. Replaced fuel filter. Best of all had my two new keyfobs that I purchased from US coded and they WORK, wasn't absolutely sure they would. Price of two from US was 1/2 price of quote for one in Oz.
I put my colour coded rims and new tyres on.http://www.aulro.com/afvb/attachment...1&d=1390212136
I haven't actually done anything lately but I've only just received a Rijidij wheel carrier but fitting will have to wait until I return in a months time.:(
But I did fit a battery monitor a couple of weeks ago.:D

Here in SA, we work our Landys........pulling boats, loading Casspirs, fall over and then drive 2100km back to the workshop.....naa, just wanted to show off the Casspir that I scratch built
I like the sign on the back of the carrier truck.
So what are the Casspirs used for?
New starter motor installed along with some good 2gauge cable for the main 12v and earth leads. Not only does the new starter turn the engine over effortlessly, but the new cabling has done a world of good for the rest of Jeremy's electronics.
The starter came from eBay for $159, brand new, 5yr warranty. Took 4 business days for delivery, pm for details.
P.s I second that, what are the casspirs used for?
Driving over things that go boom ;)Quote:

The name 'Casspir' is an anagram of the abbreviations of the customer, the South African Police (SAP), and the design authority, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).[1] Although the Casspir was deployed in townships during the apartheid era, it was initially designed specifically for conditions encountered in the South African Border War. In particular, this conflict called for protection from land mines combined with high manoeuvrability to cover long distances - these requirements led to the distinctive V-shaped hull (for mine protection) and a wheeled chassis.
The Casspir was designed by the CSIR specifically to protect vehicle occupants against landmines. It is certified to protect its occupants against a triple TM-57 mine blast (equivalent to 21 kg of TNT) under a wheel, or a double blast (14 kg of TNT) under the hull. The Casspir has V-bottomed armoured monocoque hull, designed to deflect the force of an explosion outwards, to which a leaf-spring suspension is attached.[1]
