Well found and fixed the missfire. Turns out the brake booster hose was split at the manifold connection. New hose, miss fixed.

Not today but Friday, loaded up the series 3 with a couple of friends and went for a run out into the Murray Sunset National Park to Mopoke Hut for a bbq lunch. It was a perfect day out in the Mallee scrub after a good wet winter, hardly any dust, and the sand was nice and firm to drive on. The last photo is a photo of a young Alan Henschke riding a buck jumper. Alan had a grazing lease on a part of the "Sunset Country" and built Mopoke Hut in 1962. He passed away earlier this year aged in his early nineties.
Cheers, Mick.
It's great out in the park there. We went to that hut and the Shearing Shed (?). A great area to explore
Got it bogged about 4km from home. (see other thread)

Replaced the 110 tdi rear ball joint it was a bit more difficult than i thought, we had to take the middle section out of the A frame and press the ball joint out, after cutting the bolt holes off the flange, about 10 tons got it going. Same to press in, a bit tricky to get it started straight, I don't think you can do it without a press.
recommend to seal the top of the ball joint opening with silicon also the securing bolt holes, they are open at the top its a good place for salt water etc to get in an cause corrosion.
The old one was fine I think, I replaced the rubber boot maybe 12 years ago, but after 20 years its time for a new one I think. cheers simm0
Re-did my roof lining. A few creases sadly. First time I've tried something like this. Pretty happy to have it back in. Was driving me nuts.

Replaced the panhard rod bushes in the front of the Rangie, took some of the slop out of the steering, the old ones were pretty well knackered.
Took all of half an hour, should have done it before
Getting close to ready to install the D-2 LT230-Q gear transfer case, with ATB in my defender. My exiting TC case oil leaks are getting a bit much. :)
I made this bracket to bolt onto my trolley jack "cup". The TC is almost on its center of balance, and is at the right angle to mate up with the transmission. ( CoG is close to the the bottom fwd corner of the TC bottom cover). I checked on the weekend, If I jack up back of the car and let the front tyres down a bit the TC is horizontal. I should be able pull the old TC straight back on the guide bolts, and slide the new one in. (thats the theory anyhow :cool:)
