Better not tell you what I bought  :-X

But, at least it's still a Landrover  :D

Is it a P38?


Does it have a spare rear axle in the back seat?

If only I had one, it's one of the many things I miss since I turned 50

Busy few weekends on Florence
Florence the freelander is a typical Landrover and is needing work
Last weekend it was propshaft removal time in readiness for a fresh VCU and bearings
While I was at it I cleaned up and WD40 'd the front brakes and fittings ready
This weekend I changed over the front window regulators as they haven't worked since I got it
Also managed to put new pads in the front brakes
Pig of a job
Everything seized
So in proper Landrover style it was all cleaned and wire brushed and copper slipped on reassembly
Should be easier for next time

Learning to live with it now and it's doing well as a stand in for a ' proper ' Landrover not perfect but at least it's taking the pressure off while ermintrude is in dock
it's a tough job - but someone has to do it

One of the many reasons I failed my interview as staff writer on LRO many years ago was referring to the vehicle as a Freeloader.

Florence has again proved it's a Landrover

Two weeks I've been soaking the propshaft

After much and I mean much pure battering the living daylights out of it I managed to split it

Fresh VCU now put in, and some time over the weekend I'll get the props re fitted and we can have 4wd again

Bad language practiced,skin removed and new blood blisters - it's a Landrover thing  :-*
