Fitted a glove box into the wasted space above the passenger grab handle.
I like pictograms and a few word of explanation as a reference but poor quality photos and a foreign language make it hard.I may have to change the screws in the hinges to pop rivets at a later stage. Fitted car quality carpet to the metal bits to prevent the rattles from keys etc. Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.

[list=]After a quick look at the reason my 12N socket was being a little erratic with the messages to the people following whatever trailer I was towing at the time, I took the decision to rip it off and start again. Went out and bought a new socket, took the old one off and disconnected the loom from the plug up behind the fog light.
Got out the Haynes book of lies for the wiring diagram so that I could marry up all the right 7 wires from the 10 that were there. At least now I know where there is another feed for a fog light, the auxilliary power source and a feed for a reversing light. All now taped up and refitted, all seems to be ok, I'll find out tomorrow afternoon when I retrieve my youngest from Scout Camp next door to the West Midland Safari Park as I have to bring the Scouts camping trailer back, there was easily 2.5t of Ifor Williams box trailer when I took it on Thursday so I hope they've eaten well! Got my Memory Map up and running on my laptop yesterday along with a GPS dongle and went for a quick drive round and with only a couple of times loosing signal it was working well, now need to make up some bracketry to make it useable in the motor. Got up in the loft and dug out a tv wall bracket that seems to be made for the job, just fabricate an arm to attach it to the seat fixings and the jobs a good'un  [/list] |

cleaned the interior for the first time in a long time.
Man what a filthy pigsty it was. Boiled sweets stuck here there and everywhere. Mouldy crisps, wotsits McFlurry containers under the seats. Had to get a roll of selotape to get the hair off carpet as you'd need a million watt vacuum to get that off. I was truly shocked at the state of it when you see everyone elses immaculate Defenders. There was this blue powdery stuff everywhere where my eldest daughter just tipped her makeup box out and left it there. Kids are just such mucky sods  |

First step in trying to stop the water dripping on my right knee, resealed the roof joint.
Removed Cubby box which was not a problem as when it was fitted (factory?) they hadn't bothered to use the rivnuts which were in the wrong place or the recessed holes in the box instead they drilled new holes through the steel plate underneath and used mastic to hold the bolts in place. I wondered why it rocked from side to side. Spent the afternoon drilling plate and fitting new rivnut in the correct place. Now got burnt neck and scalp. Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to us off.

Linked up the front and rear displays, and added a USB dock in the cubby box for storing the movies.

Fitted my newly acquired Safari equip swing away spare wheel carrier. Woohoo, no more rattling rear door. Nice piece of kit.
Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Also, swapped front wheels to rear and vice versa, got rid of the horrible wheel wobble at 60mph. Still pulls to the left slightly and that's after getting the tracking sorted for the third time yesterday. I wish I could figure out why it still wanders to the kerb

Rusty - are you sure you haven't got an un-even load / or tyre pressures need checking one low especially on the front or one side could cause a big of pull I'd have thought.
Spent 3/4 of the day on mine so 11am to 6pm or there about only having a break or two in between. Mostly spent cable routing.  It's a thankless task but it's got to be done! Only done about 50% of what I want to do though even now.  |
