Very boring compared to what Piet was up to -

Back seats flat for run to rubbish tip ( re-cycling centre ) Completely full

Eleven miles to farming store then back ( twice ) to fill the car ( Back seats down ) with supplies for the horse, once again completely full with extra stuff filling front passenger seat and foot well. Both times

Trip to supermarket, at the same time returned some tools that I had borrowed, back to a good mate.

Cleaned the inside of the RR. Outside to clean tomorrow, then dry car and fit battery conditioner. Then fit car cover to car as back off to work sea on Monday. ( Back to reality )

All in all, had a very busy day, thankfully the fatty is a bloody good work horse. Excuse the pun

Just drove it, still havnt had time to redo my headliner or a couple of the other little jobs but it's running well after it's news guides chains etc

Coolant low message appeared on Saturday, so after an inspection with a mini camera found the Thermostat housing to be cracked...

Sunday, 6 hrs later and its off - it was as brittle as could be and had welded itself to engine... why use plastic for a part like this Land Rover

Parts on order.. watch this space

Changed battery out for another 020. Seemed heavier than it did last time (7 years ago). Can't be age related 🤔. Battery tray in a good condition. Previous cars:
S-Max 2007-2013 (only diesel I've had, good car but expensive when diesely bits go wrong, so what's the point?)
Galaxy 2001-2007
Mondeo Estate 1997-2001
Sierra Estate 1993-1997
Uno Turbo 1987 -1993
Fiesta 1984 - 1987
Fiat 127 1982 - 1984

Another schlep down the M6 Glasgow to Lhr in about 6 hrs after all these years and miles never do a biggish run without thoroughly enjoying it

After a long wait, the new tail lights are finally here!
Really love the side marker strip as standard ones seemed incomplete to me without it...



Front and rear done now...

Short trip to the Westerham Brewery to restock on beers

Took her in this morning for an MOT, passed with just a few advisories. Small amount of black smoke under acceleration, I couldn't see any when he revved it, wonder if that's because I've blanked off egrs, he did look under bonnet, not sure if he was looking to see if I had. Front brake hoses corroded, rust on sills and CV boot split. Rather chuffed really, I was expecting more.

Washed the old bus after being away on hols

Replaced the drive belt tensioner as the belt had started to run off the edge of the pulley. Old one had a big cracked on the backside of it. Got a genuine tensioner from LR dealer. And also replaced the fuel filter with a genuine one as the old one, although only a few months old, was an aftermarket one.

Had my first fault since buying my RR, had an adaptive dynamics warning on, diagnosed (wire broken on osf strut top) repaired and all done within 10mins and the best part was it didn’t cost me a penny. (Im a technician) happy days!

Nothing...

I've been at home since Monday with COVID and isolating in my bedroom..

There has been a lot of reading up and studying various bits etc.
