Thread: What did you do on your Landy today?

Got my new nanocom in the post the other day and have spent the last 3 nights and about 8 hours trying to level the sls system. Raised the back 17 times in all and everytime it would revert to sitting on the bump stops in travel mode.

Spent 3 hours searching the internet and found a post on an english site that said there is a bug with the nanocom evo and sls and that when you save the setting with the travel mode, you are actually in the reverse. So simple yet soooo stupid. Why oh why couldnt they fix it?? Any way all good now. Sitting nice and level rather than too high at the back.

Sent two emails off to colin at bbs but they are 'moving' for two weeks. As the disco is our only car its been in the shed all week and getting no kms under the wheels. Any way - its a good heads up for you other d2 owners with sls - remember to save it with travel mode enabled and it wont be and will stay where you put it!

Modified second bonnet cross member support so it will not rub on the ase intecooler. Painted and will fit on Monday.
Sealed new injector harness with Three Bond 1207B and same will fit on Monday when cured.

I actually did some more on the 90 over a couple of evenings this week:

Firstly grabbed some stuff from the laser cutters:



Test fit of components for front bumper / chassis mounting for front of wing:



Bulkhead outrigger front cage hoop mount - and plate that is tapped M10 and slides into slider to tie all together:



Fitting rivnuts in firewall panel to mount wing skins too:



Done:



Next the heater blower gets in the way of where the top tube will run. To save remvoing the entire heater, I chisseled off the rivets holding the motor/blower assembly on and removed that



You can now see how the top of the firewall / wing skin bracket fits:



Removing a section of the heater - cant imagine I will notice much of a difference in terms of output living in Qld!:



More to come over the weekend hopefully... Will be another delay though while I wait for the 24m of cage tube I have on order as its on back order.

hh spent another Friday working on Ranga's expedition truck

All seems great as the fridge and kitchen slides seem to be working really well now and ready for Ranga's kitchen to be put into place. The under tray wheel storage etc are comming along well, he will be ready to set off soon

Hi All

A sorry day for Graham's Discovery, his pet Grover was grilled today.
I was up to my elbows in Fergy TEA20 oil, when I received a phone call.
Can you give me a tow home please? was the anguished plea.
'My Grover has gone up in smoke', Graham reported to all folk.

Damage has been restricted to the engine bay, thanks to some smart play.
The following motorist, put out the flames with a extingisher in his fist.

There's more to this tale, my Defender pulled the Grover home ,complete with a trailer on its tail.

Cheers Arthur

Fitted truck mirrors to Series III so I can see where I've been? Put 350 Holley on and Electronic Dizzy GMH 202. Will fire her up this weekend. New Batt cables and Isolator switch fitted too. Taking LR back to NZ next month have got a new Roverdrive Over Drive waiting there to fit to make it more fun to drive 16 gears fwd and 4 rev. Cost $2500 out of Canada they are very well made and worth every Dollar.
