Finally got around to doing a decent fix to the wiring chewed through by rats and replaced the temporary repairs with more permanent ones.

To do the repairs I used these connectors that have a low temperature solder and glue inside the heat shrink tube.
Bit difficult to get the heat from the mini torch evenly distributed, but all in all I got a nice neat job.

Because this is the second time rats have been chewing through the wiring, I got some anti rodent tape from the Honda dealer to wrap it around the wiring harness. Still have (a lot) more wiring to wrap near the bulk head, but will be for tomorrow. More tedious than I thought. But if it works beats having to keep repairing the wires.

Interesting! I like the 'retro' appearance of those. May I ask where you got them, and can you post some pics when tyey're fitted?

Fitted a new relay to my front wipers which has cured the problem of them being stuck on! Very Happy

Also added a DiskLok to the arsenal, especially as there were some very dodgy looking blokes in a transit poking around the other day.

Changed my fuel pressure regulator, renewed an instrument bulb and found a rattling heat shield that's been driving me mad. All in all, a good 2 hours spent.

Not been using mine much, train journey to work at present, so was persuaded to take SWMBO to the Outlet village at Bicester.......argh what a waste of time. She seemed nearly as disappointed but definately nothing that interested me, feel a new Defender purchase coming on.
On a positive note nice drive there and saw a few other Defenders and all waved. Bow down _______________________________

Decided to clear the snow of the last 24 hours off the car:

Then follow Dave's tip to see if the Webasto needs a new circulation pump - it does:

Then moved the car forwards to clear underneath, warmed the engine while I was clearing the driveway and steps:

Now it is only the pile on the roof left and when my feet have warmed up I will go for a drive on some empty roads and see if I can dislodge the worst of it without having to climb up there - of course the roof rack ladder that is currently sitting in the garage would have been perfect... For now, though, a nice cup of tea and a little day dream about a garage that is tall enough for a Defender!
