How I felt, though driving home got it splattered some. More road noise, &/or induction, maybe the Eastnor & Exmoor mud jetwashed off, had sound dulling properties before. Laughing

I'm still hoping there will be a vacancy come up on the December LRE Defender day.... Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender

My TD5 is in Tuesday for it's MOT as well.
Seat belts replaced, lights etc working, rear bushes replaced. Still can't find the mysterious small area of corrosion on the chassis near the nearside step mount - I reckon it was Salisbury Plain mud Laughing

Fingers crossed here as well.

Pics aren't great, but you may be able to make out the 'guy' on top.

Mine got dropped off today for its MOT tomorrow ... Not actually due until March but needs doing before it goes in the container bound for Botany Bay!

After the MOT we are pretty much taking it "off the road" so we can finish the last bits and bobs, do some trial packing of kit and the set about the mammoth task of cleaning it to within an inch of its life. Toothbrushes at the ready! Wink Thumbs Up

Our shipper is coming to pick it up on 16th Dec so we have 5 weeks to get it all sorted Shocked Very Happy Our blog - http://landytravels.com/

Got the car packed for the WRC recce stages tomorrow.
Checked oil & waters
Topped up with fuel
Radios, fire extinguishers, tools packed.

Finally got the last stuck locking wheel nut off. As the pins in the socket had almost rounded off, I attacked the pins with the welder and then hammered it onto the stubborn locking wheel nut and with care managed to shift it with a breaker bar. 1999 Defender TD5 110

Are you sure your neck isn't actually quite sore? Are you finding it hard to sleep?

Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.

Cool! Any photos? The guy that works on my parents farm was telling me today about how he nearly bought an ex-BT 2b to use as a boat launch. In the end went for a 6 pot series 3 instead
