Thread: What did you do on your Landy today?

Replaced the front sway bar rubber bushes. When I took the weight off the axle, I was surprised by the amount of movement in the right hand side. Left was solid. The same thing with my engine mounts. Replaced the right, left OK. Something to do with the torque of the engine? I don't know, Bob

stripped all the drive hubs and backing plates off ready to rebuild the brakes and front swivels on my 101.
then spent the next 4 hours trying to find the work bench to do the work on them!


just finished wiring up a remote control for my air compressor and train horns!

The Vogue got a full interior vacuum, front seats and dash got leather treatment, windows cleaned, etc.

I walked past the 87 and 76 Classics...

I broke one "ear" of the generator

Replaced 94 D1 solid discs with vented

DBA 4,000 TD3 vented rotors
Defender calipers 5 mm larger pistons
Green stuff pads

All fitted OK

Demonstrated the cooling system is working fine now by dragging the camper trailer up the steep climb to Maleny at 3000rpm in 2nd - the temperature needle didn't even move although the engine was certainly hot. Excellent!

****, how did you do that Michele ?

Time for a 100amp Disco version !

Hope you are well mate.

Well,

I was simply putting the belts under tension, applying some leverage on the generator with a piece of wood

In my defense, there was very thin crack on the flange already, so it was time probably.

Still, bugger that, every time I think I'm moving forward I roll back by a good measure

Mr. Magoo already suggested to switch to a modern alternator, job is on the list, but at the moment I'll have to live with what I have and therefore waiting for a used bracket to be mailed from UK, or alternatively a brand new spare...duh.

Situation normal! All f****d up!
