Thread: What did you do on your Landy today?

Collected the heads from the machine shop, attacked the piston tops with a green plastic pot mit and Lanotec "Orange" cleaner and removed the carbon deposits... , undid the harmonic balancer off the crankshaft.....and collected a box of replacement parts from the Post Office.... slowly but surely!

The antenna coax cable is run along the bottom of the windscreen and doubled around so the length is right for when it will be roof console mounted. Good enough to provide some company and help for my Service Crew in the Australasian Safari starting Friday.

G'day JBR, can I ask what the fuel switches are you have on the left side of the console, I'm assuming you have two tanks. Are they factory fitted or aftermarket?

Bought some ARB side steps off ebay, bought a new D2 clock of ebay, bought some D2 tools off ebay, Bought trailer wiring From Bundalene off ebay.

Hi Marcus/Leeanne,
I have fitted two sill tanks, supplied by AULRO member "Mulgo", with one under the drivers side and one under the passengers side. The fuel switches operate two transfer pumps to transfer fuel from each sill tank into the main fuel tank. I fitted them myself - tanks, plumbing and wiring. Note that the fuel transfer switches you noticed are not part of the standard kit, but available from Mulgo via his web site:

If you want to see more of the installation check out my thread in "Members Rides" section of AULRO.

Just finished fitting new front tailshaft (Tom Woods). Installed in-cab switch for USI-160 dual battery controller.

Over the past week I've ripped out the remaining tatty dealer fit wood trim, fitted a LR wood glovebox trim, changed oil and filters, replaced the clips holding on the muffler heatshield with panel washers and flanged nuts, and ended up replacing the rear bumper with a new LR bumper - I had originally ordered a good second hand job but the courier apparently dropped the bumper and it arrived cracked on one side.

Lined up for the weekend is retrofitting power-fold mirrors which should turn up from Bundalene in the next day or so.

waterpump, thermostat, some hoses, oil change, and skinned a few knucles on my landy today

Started my headlight wiring upgrade. Running headlights directly from the battery via relays and fuses instead of through the headlight switch on the stalk.
Couldn't believe the difference. Absolutely amazing. Only one high beam done so far, still have the other and the low beams to go. Will hopefully do them tomorrow.
See the pics below.
