I Applied Gliptone to the XS leather and conditioned the FCX leather with the same. The Interior now has that fresh new Leather Smell

Good taste!  I got the same bike for Little Miss Do$h about 18 months ago. Since then she's shot up in height and pretty much outgrown it before she put 30 miles under the tyres 
Me, I have finally fitted the Nakatenga rear door stay, wipac crystal headlights (both supplied by site sponsors, thank you Brendan and Matt) and rewired the headlamps with the relay loom from landreiziger.nl Also put on the MTRs (cheers Ken) and black boosts (cheers brewstop). I think it's fair to say this forum has helped me spend my money in all the right places

Finished off the last of the re-bushing marathon today with the A frame lower bushes and the A frame joint. After so much trepidation on doing the top joint, it turned out to be the easiest one to do! It was just getting the body jacked into the right position along with the jack on the nose of the diff to get things all lined up. I cannot believe what a huge difference it has made to the drivetrain backlash especially as the top joint was siezed and wasn't moving at all but the new one has made such an improvement. All while doing this my so called mate turned up with his Disco, this time with an absolutely knackered propshaft joint and a peace offering so 20 minutes later sent him on his way with my spare UJ fitted and him happy along with the empty box to remind him to replace it!

Did you end up leaving them fitted as per your photo? Im getting mine fitted soon and wondered how yours were performing? Geobloke has fitted similar discs ( http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic2032.html?start=7230 - 6th post down) but not sure if this photo is of his is the front nearside of front offside.....?

Fitted CB aerial, to use on caravan trip and an additional 12 v socket for charging spare battery . 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.

Driving to work and saw a car broken down, as I got closed I recognised the women passenger as the women who works in the local buttie shop, so did the right thing and gave her a lift to work and left her other half to sort out the car. Suspect a snapped cam belt on a 2.0l Mondeo. 1999 Defender TD5 110

I got summoned to the farm after work, choice of using 2.2 puma, 2.4 puma, td5, 300 tdi (x2) or 200 tdi.
Chose my trusty 200!! Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Would have been rude not to take a quick trip into some woods at the same time... Click image to enlarge Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated |

Got around to doing the twin windscreen washers conversion.
£10 of parts (two new washer jets, some piping and a t-piece) and about an hour. Works really well and hung new Jelly Bean "tutti fruity" air freshener - doing a nice job of dulling the damp smell from the leaks in the door seals - next job on list Defender 90 - Tomb Raider LE Discovery 5 HSE - yes, even despite the ugly backend.

@warpig
Looking at the last photo that is definitely the front offside due to location of radius arm and brake lines. 1997 Ex-MOD 110, Pop Top Camper, build thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72352.html 2014 Discovery 4 SE Tech Instagram @the110camper |
