What did you do on your Landy today?

Yesterday I replaced the exhaust down pipe on D2 with one of TD5Alive's budget 409 stainless steel units. The old unit was rattling under load and once I had it out it the flex joint was very floppy. The new down pipe has made a nice improvement to level of engine drone when cruising, which was an unexpected benefit.

While the down pipe was out I took the opportunity to replace the Turbo oil drain pipe gasket. I'd noticed a small leak a couple of weeks ago and had slated this for attention. Removing the bolts I discovered that they were finger tight at best. A new gasket and correct torque on the bolts seems to have fixed yet another leak and averted a potential disaster.

cheers
Paul

Water-blasted the inside of the 15" white spoked wheels I have removed from the S2a ... getting them ready for sale.
Then I degreased and water blasted the engine bay and undercarriage of DeeDee the S2a. I also finally found the idle adjustment for the LPG and finally, after six months of putting up with a very low idle speed, got DeeDee idling nicely on gas:).
Apart from that, DeeDee got used in anger in 4WD to conquer my bonfire pile with several trailer loads of general tree droppings from around the place.

I also picked up a Series 1 engine as a parts donor for my S1 project car. It's got a couple of things that will be useful and then it will be junked.

All on the ex-mil...pressure blasted the wings and tub..did more on the firewall..and helped a fellow aulroian solve his tray problems;):)

Mrs hh:angel:

Drove the D2 back from a secluded fantastic camping spot in Northern NSW.D2 was faultless again,so didn't have to do anything to it..:):)

Well,did have to clean the rear lights as someone mentioned to me they couldn't see the blinkers working for the mud on them:eek:
