3 or 4 bolt??

Defender: Attempted to cure leaking rear hubs for the second time. First time I just replaced the rubber caps on end of drive flange. The new caps leaked worse than the old so today I took em off and found the groove into which the caps seal badly corroded!

A wire brush attachment on a dremel cleaned it out somewhat, then filled the caps with grease and lined the grooves with gasket sealant.

I will get some new HD drive flanges at some point but till then I'm hoping no more leaks.

Did more work to the rear carrier, made a table for the side, and started mounting the air comp in the tub,, damn rain,,
Still got a few more little jobs before the Melrose trip,,

replaced 1 bad key with 1 good key.


bought grey leather seats

discovered that the seats have a bolt that goes through to the underside of the car

discovered that my sil fuel tanks are blocking me from getting to that bolt

fixed my 3 amegios

discovered that my tailgate no longer opens

Installed a madman madman din plane in my td5 defender. Pretty nice and not that hard to doAttachment 57948

how usally, what you think will take a couple of hours ened up takeing a couple of weeks. ( with interuptions)

Stuffed the SLS, now it is stuck in transport mode, sitting on its backside, with no idea at all on how to get it back.

Only spent 2 days on it so far...

Off to the dealers tomorrow... and, if i am still grumpy with it, might leave it there for a day or 2 to teach it a lesson...

Go back to coils and it'll solve the other issue.
