What did you do on your Landy today?

Today using a stick, I dispatched of some fauna (Terra Stlatta Araneolus) living in Fred Landrover.
.

Fred put one wheel, then another and then another out on the big road today, away from the little farm where he had slumbered for the last eighteen months, I drove Fred for about half an hour each way this afternoon and the trip was very relaxing, nothing to report at all for the trip-- good.

I have made a list of things to complete and found a few more to add as well.
The window scissor lift mech for the passenger front to be reinstalled.
That doors latch actuator to be replaced after it was borrowed for a customers job.
Sender for the temperature gauge is open circuit and a replacement is needed.
Flush out the plain water then fill with 50 / 50 coolant mix.
Check out why the air conditioner pump isn't working.
As Fred is registered as a seven seater and hasn't had the rear seats fitted for a long time, I was given these today from Graham, ( mates rates, thanks there Graham ).
The ABS warning light is staying on continuously, will check the wiring to the wheel sensors tomorrow and adjust the sensor up to the grate.
Adjust handbrake a little tighter.
Rubber floor mats, seat covers and a dash protector.
Look at fitting the cargo barrier up behind the folded middle row seats.

Repaired the leaking fuel pressure regulator on my TD5 D2. $56 on ebay for the Bosch part (diaphram bit) plus $10 worth of o-rings and it's fixed. Beats the $380 odd for the whole regulator block!

Audi / Volkswagen Fuel Pressure Regulator - BOSCH - 0280160575 - NEW OEM VW | eBay

Might buy a couple of spares, they are getting hard to find (only tracked down 2 in Aus, for $140 each!).

Cheers,

Adam

Replaced wiper blades, fitted headlight guards, replaced a missing bonnet lining clip, replace broken headlight washer jet, replaced leaking camshaft seal - did this 11 months ago with a supposedly quality pattern part using genuine this time around, replaced missing screws in front guard liner, reinstalled clic-r clips on the fuel cooler - giving the new clic-r pliers a bit of a work out :)

Finished off fitting new TerraFirma heavy duty steering rods, panard bar and TF diff guards.

All part of the Cape prep, 12weeks to go:D

Lifted the cover on Warthog, made sure the battery trickle charger was hooked up and working, then recovered. :angel:

Fred is running good but the list is still a bit long.

The list
The window scissor lift mech for the passenger front to be reinstalled. Done
That doors latch actuator to be replaced after it was borrowed for a customers job. Done, but needs adjusting at the moment
Sender for the temperature gauge is open circuit and a replacement is needed.Done
Check out why the air conditioner pump isn't working. Done the pump was stuck, tried hitting a lump a wood against the compressor clutch to spin it ----- that fixed it!
The ABS warning light is staying on continuously, will check the wiring to the wheel sensors tomorrow and adjust the sensor up to the grate.Done, a big thanks to JC and Alex
Adjust handbrake a little tighter. Done

Rubber floor mats, seat covers and a dash protector.
Look at fitting the cargo barrier up behind the folded middle row seats. maybe remove the second row seats and then fit the barrier
Flush out the plain water then fill with 50 / 50 coolant mix.
As Fred is registered as a seven seater and hasn't had the rear seats fitted for a long time, I was given these today from Graham, ( mates rates, thanks there Graham ).
Fit a instrument light rheostat from a Range Rover to dim the dash lights

I walked past mine today.

Excuse time.
We have a friend from Germany visiting so we went to the Overland Corner Pub instead.:angel:

fitted these








pitty not on mine

Not a job for the feint-hearted, but it worked!!! one of the non-adhesive ribbon cable replacements - it was like micro-surgery.
If it goes well over the next few months I'll have a go at the instrument cluster lcd ribbon next.
Cost me around $35 from the UK.
:D
