Tin cans

Why change to tin cans when you have city slick alu rims?

Well, I have a couple of good reasons for this. First, I thought the alu rims were a little bit to wide. Since I don't want to lift I want the wheels inside the arches. It looks cool on tarmac with wide tyres, but when flexing off road, it's a risk that they will rub the arches.

Secondly, steel rims tackle damage better. Thirdly, and honestly the main reason for the change, one of the alu rims had been seriously damaged and had to be thrown away...

At the tyre man's I saw another British greenie :)

I think he went for alu rims, eventhough

Disco discs

Well,.. hrmmm... I have to admit being lazy when it comes to the rear brake pads. It is a little bit hard to check the inside of the discs with the calipers on, which... However, now it's done. The discs were badly worn so they had to be turned.

My friend Daniel helped out, and we did it the "farmers way" in his garage. Angle grinder in Daniels hands and me turning the oppsite wheel like crazy. The result? Perfect!

New Boots

This is as large as it gets without having to lift the car.

Binned

Cleared out some old junk. These old rubbers from the 'archive' had to go. Eventhough they were classics :)

At the right side

This year it was time for the right hub.
It became a field job. At my old Range I did it in complete darkness. Now, a little bit more lazy, I used a lamp :)

Oil Seal

Leaking from rear diff. Should be an easy task to sort the problem, I thought.

But, the stubborn little pin you have to draw to get in to the nut that holds the flange was totally stuck.

Finally the tool broke, so I'm still driving with a leaky diff. Next attempt will be with a little heating.

Summer update is on its way...

More plastic

This is how it looked behind the bumper. Without inner wings I was afraid stones and mud might damage things.






So, I took my "old" inner wings and cut them shorter. The right plastic flap shows how much better the approach angle became without the spoiler.




Looks safer now!

Epsom Green

No, i didn't choose pink of course :)

What on earth is this, Lemförder?

What on earth has this part to do with my Land rover life? Well, a couple of months ago we bought an old Opel Vectra (probably called something else in Britain). It is a little bit to expensive to commute in a V8 Disco... So we bought this teen racing prep Vectra from a friend who had kept it in his garage for some years. At the MOT the guys said it was nice to see this kind of car, since they have all rusted away by now. It went through almost clean, except for this linkage.

So now when my wife commute with "Rusty", I can have Moderskeppet all by my self during the weekdays. :)

Heavy Metal has arrived

I got a packet! And it's not even close to Cristmas or birthday. I am curios to see the metal at Moderskeppet. But I'll have to wait a few days since I intend to paint it all in pink first.

It's starting to look the part

From the pile of junk (it looked so from the start) that was tossed on Pluttens load bed, I could sort out some useful items.

Seat box, rails, a few interior panels and other parts cleaned, base painted and nicely stored in the 80".This important piece of thermostat housing saved for restoration. Hopefully it will fit my new cylinder head...

No more plastic

So, this has happened again...
















Now I'll go for heavy metal!

Fun in the Snow
