Today, swapped out the coolant temp sensor for a new one to see if it fixes the fluctuating temp gauge.
Checked the levels and spotted oil leaking out the rocker cover (yet again) So another job for the list

Took the Mrs for driving lesson the 110 to see if we can iron out the jerkyness while driving (fine for me as I drive it every day) More lessons needed...Hinted towards a remap might help sort out low revs and make it smoother... 1999 Defender TD5 110

Spent two hours under the TD5 cleaning the unused bolt holes on the diffs where the QT diff guards fit.

Half way there, may have to get a tap set or put a slice in a bolt to clear the rest of the rubbish out.

12 hour shift Sunday so it will have to go onto next weeks to do list Thumbs Up

Gave her a soapy scrub and jet wash (though won't put pics up, not until she's had her xmember sorted), then went for a drive. Parked up at home, but went for another drive two hours later... And, you know what? I might go for another drive right about now. It is the weekend, after all! Geoff

Trip to Aviemore went well but 6yr old daughter was sick all over middle row of XS seats . So what did I do today ? Stripped out both leather trim seats 2 + 1 , jet washed the carrots off and filled the bath with hot soapy dettol water , both seats completely submersed and soaked . Squeezed water out and allowed to drain . Sprayed mechanisms with WD40 and sat up on the AGA . Yep ! I can still smell sick . Will let you know if I can get them back in as easily as they came out . 2.2 110 XS

I drove mine to the 4x4 show at Donnington to help Brendan set stuff up. Was good to meet some old friends and new.
I made my peace with Matt, of FCX, because he bought Lara... Though his green 130 caught my eye Confused

There is lots of nice kit there Cool

Got time to fit my new QD recovery hitch (is that an oxymoron?)

2008 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SVX Station Wagon Santorini Black
Back from Nordkapp, safe and sound. Absolutely no problems at all with the truck.

Drove over 6000kms, and 5000 of them on ice... the cooper discoverer snow tyres were great, we did not install the studs in the end, or use the chains, this is essentially a road-trip.

even at -32c the tdci was warm/hot inside.

we achieved our goals ...

1. drive to nordkapp
2. see the northern lights
3. camp in the arctic circle
4. from our roof tent, watch the northern lights

we also saw reindeer, elk and 2 wolverines, and made some new friends!

90gb of photos, we go-pro'd the whole journey, they are downloading now ....

Off road driving day.

Put it on its side but amazingly NO dents, scrapes or damage whatsoever - miracle!



Then did a bit of hill winching!



Lots of fun!

Andy.

I've got it's baby brother, the 2800.

We are walking a lot of the SW coast path and the 2800 is excellent when the route is blocked/shut and you have to find an alternative.

We used it in the 90 last time out on the plain and it worked perfectly and is very easy to load/record routes on.

Bob

Gave mine a thorough test last weekend. (Paignton via Mendip and back.)
It works very well through my heated screen.
The satnav graphics are excelent and large enough to see without my reading glasses, which is a blessing since, at full volume, the verbal instructions can't be heard above 40 mph.
The MemoryMap OS snail trail is permanently on when in MM mode but is easily deleted if you don't want to keep it.
Overall, I'm very pleased with it.
