Jase, the black square one is the one fitted to later D1s, the round canister was fitted to the early ones.

Thanks Dave

Mine is a 1992 model.. Not sure what is the original , But I need the round barrel type so I can move my power steering fluid resivor & theres a ball thing with 2 hoses going into it If I have the round one it will give me some room in front of it to put these that way I can put my second Battery under the bonnet on the passenger side ..Theres nothing wrong with mine its just to big & in the way ..

Hi there Jase, you can do a second battery without replacing the square air filter - here is mine, you just have to modify the airbox outlet to the snorkel - block off the old one that points towards the battery and cut a new one on the other side - you can just see it in the pic. The power steering reservior bracket can be bent out of the way. By doing this i was able to fit 2 blue top exide batteries which I wired in parallel rather than use an isolator - that way you always have 2 batteries together for the winch and the fridge draws evenly off the top of both batteries - just make sure you set your low battery cut off on the fridge. It is, I believe, kinder on the alternator too, or so I was told..........

Bugga My snorkel that I brought has a huge pipe from the snorkel to airbox & I had to push the box towards the engine heaps to fit the pipe.. Its just about rubbing on the alternator shroud .. But will look into it aswell. Thanks for that..

Well we heard back about the insurance late today.. They have ruled KAREN"S in the wrong BUT we know she isn't at all.. The other party have comprehensive we only have 3rd party. & there word & diagram is worth more then our word our diagram & OUR PICTURES.. ****ing ****s they **** ya off.. Ive had enough & ive been fighting depression bad lately & the only thing keeping me alive is I don't want Karen or the kids to find me.. We also want to go away BUT its very hard to let go of the kids & leave them home alone .. We have never been apart from them because my agoraphobia is just a joke to our families so they never baby sat ever as , well use don't go out use don't need a baby siter so wouldn't even just take em for one night for a break .. So it is hard for us cause we have been around them every day since birth.Plus with the bull**** nit picking they do to each other they would just fight & I think Cody may just take it a bit to far..Theres never been anyone in our families to help out that way as im just a ****ing joke. & I am getting sic to ****ing death of allways being a nice person . Need to be like I was in my old life.. But I don't think id keep many friends being that way again..Broke my fone so got the old iphone 3 out to use , Had to get a new sim for it as it don't use mini sim Then we ****ed that up aswell since we used karens fone to ring them to activate it , its now activated to Karen's number so have to redo all that again.. Still have to get a swag yet to go away . Looking at those roo systems double swags there good value for money them so will get one of them..And im sic of these bloody rollies GGGGGRRRRRRRRRR..We just cant afford to fight them over it all.So it wont be getting fixed at all..

Also the little Subaru we got for Cody for his Ls the one that got smashed ..
So I am going to swap the green series 3 LWB for a small car for him , would prefer a manual but will look at anything . If anyone is interested or knows anyone that may please tell them to contact me please & I can tell them all about it . Value I will put $4,200 ono on it..I will put it in the markets aswell I just cant be bothered just now. To ****ed off to do it now..

Also have those wheels here the alloy ones with good tyres on them..

Got to get out of this ****ing house. all I do is sit in the shed & look like the retard that I am.. ive just had enough.Life for us just goes backwards no matter how hard we try to go forward ..We never finished getting stuff for the disco as Karen's health is more important than anything else .. Its the waiting around that's a pain in the ass..

Its true what they say all the bad **** happens to nice people .. The bloke we deal with at all4x4 asked Karen if she was ok as he noticed she has lost so much weight, So Karen told him about it , he seen Karen outside not around everyone.. & he said the same thing **** always happens to nice people , his wife is fighting breast cancer. & he is a nice bloke always helps Karen . has become a friend . Not that we go out & do anything with them just a good work friend I guess that's what im trying to say..


On a different note Fred is still working at macas & has been offered a traineeship a sertificate 2 in hospertality .She's glad she is working she was telling me today because she likes the money. Actualy she likes spending it more then earning it. She loves her tattoos & had her stomache tattooed lastweek hurt to she said, I said na just be like me & enjoy it & go to sleep .

HHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMM

well that's about it I guess.

not good. You are more then welcome to come and help me move my land rover parts from one house to another if you want in exchange I will give you and any of your family a place to stay
If not hopefully will still be able to see you wednesday morning

Yeah, the insurance company are bullying you because they realise they are not fighting another insurance company. I bet it would be a different story if the car was fully insured.
Goodluck with the rest of it and our best wishes to Karen.

Had a bit of a drama at work last week. One of the busdrivers had a heart attack in the lunch room. They had to get the ambulance for him. Lucky he wasn't driving at the time, otherwise it may have been a disaster.

He will now have to have a full and comprehensive health check, to be able to drive again ( he's OK now and at home, recovering) but I doubt if he will be able to convince the company's doctors that he is well enough to drive buses again. Nice bloke too, as you say Jase, **** happens to nice people.
The Dept of Transport is pretty savage on requirements that you meet health checks,
