Thread: What did you do on your Landy today?

.. gave my MY11 Puma the full Lanonlin rust prevention treatment today.. 3 cans, 1 pump spray bottle and a very sheepy smell in my hair later , i am feeling much better about the chassis and firewall...

nice drawer setup.
yesterday, broke the tailshaft, front right axle and cv, and some steering bits moved around.
with help from the mates in our club, all was back on the tracks for the afternoon run.
i just don't understand how many people in our club carry spares and are willing to lend bits to get someone out of trouble,

thanks to all who helped me.

Went and looked at some new suspension for the Disco after i get my bar sorted.
Sorted out lights and looked at UHFs as well.
Now to sort out that coolant leak...
Cheers

But only steel wool, not a nylon scouring pad as they will mark glass or chrome, whereas steel wool will not!
Try it in a corner first!


Cheers, Mick.

True, but there's steel wool, and there's steel wool.The stuff from the supermarket is crap. Try asking in antique shops ( entirely appropriate for LR owners! ), as the stuff they use is awesome.

I brought a Range Rover early '84 with a blown transfer box and the 727 auto dismantled.

Body is tidy, but the motor hasn't been started in three years or more.

Will I wreck it or restore it ?

I think you know the answer.

Removed the intercooler and gave it a clean, what a bastard of a job, and given the amount of oil in there hardly worth the effort
I suppose though I know it's clean.

This was yesterday:
Ezyrama came round & we got Beast (my SIII 109) running nicely, with some assistance from Blknight.aus (who's probably still laughing at the amateurs!).
Got the brakes bled from 'none existant' to 'terrifying'. Reckon I'm going to replace all the cylinders, as we can't seem to get all the sponginess out.
The Ho Hars did advise doing the brakes as a first priority on any Series purchase, but to be frank other things have taken priority in the very limited Landy budget until now.

A few weeks ago:
Replaced the rear door lockin handle as I didn't have a key for it.

Several weeks ago: Blknight.aus did a lot of work in very quick time to diagnose & then repair fuel problems - fitted a reconditioned lift pump & some other bits. I replaced the main tank & engine bay fuel lines, removing the change over valves in the process. Dave provided an electric pump for the secondary tank, which I still have to plumb in. The plan being to pump from the secondary tank to the filter & leave all the return going to the main tank. That way if I want to I can pump the secondary to the main tank.
