Super bit of DIY spray painting and maintenance
 I remember when my steering damper was yellow...  |

That is good news and it should be a bit better again once you have done the rear one

I think the wolfs look much better than the tired SVX alloys!

They do look nice but the white lettering spoils it ( imo )

So I've managed to fit in a few jobs over the new year, working through the list from the garage.
First up was the leaking aircon condenser. I got one of the larger non-genuine replacement condensers from eBay (seller was Premier Supply) for £125 delivered. https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/premiersupplyuk...media=COPY and a 350mm Spal Fan, (VA08-AP10/C-23S, 12v Push) for £85. All in, a very easy job. Ony took about an hour. I made some T shaped fixings to fit the fan using some stainless bolts copying the SPAL fitting kit, but for a fraction of the price. I'll get the system regassed when it goes in to have the rear diff replaced.

Next was a repair to the top of the driver's door where it has cracked by the door lock mechanism. The loose trim and rattling window was starting to become a right pain!
Click image to enlarge I cut out the top piece, then tidied up the edges and pained with primer. The new piece fitted fine with no trimming and as I don't have access to a welder, I riveted it in place after a coat of paint. unfortunately I've run out of the body colour I used for the hinges, so its jut primer for now.

The Driver's seat back bolster had completely collapsed, making even the shortest drive pretty uncomfy so I took advantage of Exmoor trims 10% off deal before Christmas and got a two seat retrim kit with some new seat heaters. Took about 3 hours with the base being the most fiddly!
Just the passenger one to do now! Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge 2013 Baltic Blue 110 Utility Station Wagon XS 2.2 2000 Beige Discovery 2 Td5 GS (Long gone) 1994 Red (various) 90 300tdi CSW (Long gone) |

Passenger side completed now too. Really smartens up the interior!

A couple of small electrical jobs today; fitted an extra USB socket by the passenger grab handle as the LR one always seems to be in the way. I used one of MUD UKs piggyback looms for the moment as I don't plan on using the original one. I also fitted a Vellerman 12v battery indicator light in the vacant button blank on the dash so I can keep an eye on the batttery charging. link here: http://www.velleman.co.uk/contents/en-uk/p114.html. it comes on with the ignition, then gives a slow flash whilst charging, then indicates red if battery low or overcharging. I saw someone else on here had done this mod, can't remember who to credit!

In an effort to try and stop the water ingress, the stars aligned and I have a few dry days off work. I replaced the rear body capping to side panel seals with new ones from YRM as it was leaking on one side through this joint:
