Itโs been a bit of a pain of a year for paint chips, mine picked up a couple, but luckily nothing much of concern.
There are some rather large chippings and stones around on the roads the last year or two, I think some of it has spilled from trucks carrying it. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R ๐ฌ๐ง๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ๐ฎ๐ช๐บ๐ธโฝ๏ธ๐ข๏ธโ๏ธ๐งฐ๐ช |

Iโve spent the weekend up in Bowness and I decided to go find the Longsleddale waterfall, so put the location into the satnav and ended up hereโฆ
 Click image to enlarge This was probably the worst part, a 30deg down slope, nice and narrow with a big rock just at the wrong point. Anyway after nearly 30 minutes of backwards and forwards I managed to get around down but at one point I really thought Iโd gotten myself stuck Click image to enlarge This is me coming almost to the end of the trail and seeing the sign, there wasnโt a corresponding one at the other end of the trail where I had started. Click image to enlarge This is the track in case anyone knows it Anyway by the time I had got to the trail to the waterfall it was getting late and I didnโt fancy an hours trek in the gloom so I never got to see the waterfall

set up the 2 x roof tents ready for the game fair in a few weeks. realised one is too close to the other and a window on one cannot be set up properly.
left them set up in the workshop on the roof rack to air out before i load them with pillows and sleeping bags. |

Finally got round to getting the roof re-sprayed due to lacquer peel.
A very good job and well priced. Just have the chassis to paint next to keep it preserved. Then in the near future a new clutch, and gearbox/t-fer box refresh and sheโll be just how I want it. Time for a beer

I had a nasty vibration at around 90 km/h.
Wheelbearings and swivel balls and bearings were already replaced (they were in a very bad condition) a month ago. New tires and balancing because they were very worn. Had the steering aligned. Still vibration.... Yesterday I replaced the bushes and bolts in the panhard rod. Vibration is gone! I am happy! Driving around with a big smile. Now just work my way through the rest of the jobs still to do... |

Fitted a new rear door threshold/carpet retainer from YRM and a new rubber lower door seal.
I think this has reduced some of the exhaust/road noise coming in. Standard oil/water/screen wash checks Fixed the wobbly drivers side headlight, turns out when I refitted the headlight after replacing the bulb, I had not located the headlight retaining ring into the top adjuster. 1999 Defender TD5 110 Regards John M0VAZ Econet Station 48 no clock |

Gave the dash and other things an interior cleaning, just basic wipe down.
I also topped up screenwash funny enough as Excossack did, coincidental.
I also put back in the 3x duck bill drains into the fan intake, I should have done that a few months ago really but at least means cooler air comes through. I normally take them out over winter, as having them out keeps moisture in the intake down and keeps the interior glass drier and more free from condensation. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R ๐ฌ๐ง๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ๐ฎ๐ช๐บ๐ธโฝ๏ธ๐ข๏ธโ๏ธ๐งฐ๐ช |
