Nothing much going on here.
I acquired a variable wiper relay. quite a neat bit of kit for the those rainy days where the OE intermediate wipe wasn't quite or too fast to wipe Also can be found on Fb, Ytube, Insta & Twitter @4WDSouthwest |

Ok so coming up to date
 Click image to enlarge T/box F & R axle and fuel tank breathers all routed up to this very smart ARB breather manifold. The gearbox is work in progress but I will get it done when I source the right fittings Gearbox rear main oil seal started to leak so that was dealt with Click image to enlarge adaptor shaft was fine so re-greased (copiously) and put back in. Also whilst I was there I changed the gearbox and Transfer box oils. Castrol Syntrans for the Gbox as it seems to be the deferred choice for the OEM specced BOT oil. Fuchs Titan Sintopoid 75w-90 for the Transferbox. Also can be found on Fb, Ytube, Insta & Twitter @4WDSouthwest |

Click image to enlarge So what started as a 5 minute job resulted in 2 days of stress and dithering about. Who would of thought a simple wiring job would go this way. All I wanted was a simple on - off winch switch and the above diagram is how to do it. Due to the nature of the switch which is a latching switch ala HRW or driving lights with an interchangeable face it means it isn't a quick fit I first thought of. The LR switch as per the wisdom of this forum switches on the earth side and so using an amended lighting diagram gives me the ability to switch the winch isolator on - off and still have the leds light correctly on the switch. IMHO just get the face plate and fit it to a gen LR HRW switch and use a blue connector. in the end I just couldn't risk a mission critical switch on a pattern part so went genuine on the switch.

After a cooked relay which meant a total loss of lights meant it was time to lower the stress on the system. I could of A) wired in a new set of Aux relays to take the stress of the main loom or reduce the current being drawn.

Decided it is time to upgrade the rear storage.
So a MSS Longline brought off here from Trebo and a set of puma wheel arch covers from MSS themselves. Some sheets of silent coat and fixing the cargo rails to it. then we have this much progress. I'm going to get some HD automotive carpet to cover the sound proofing and the back is fairy well done. Click image to enlarge Also can be found on Fb, Ytube, Insta & Twitter @4WDSouthwest |

After many years of service I have swapped out the faithful EP9.5 and being a bargain I couldn't resist there is a shiny new EXP 10i sat on the front bumper.
Spooled with 30m of English braids D-tract winch line and of course a genuine Superwinch fairlead just to make it look right. I have also brought the Picatinny brackets to mount the lightbar and the wireless controller as once you have gone wireless you can't go back.

Sooo my Wolf rims are getting a little rusty. (LR paint at it's thinnest) So a friend had a second hand set of rims going so I have chucked them on whilst I get the wolfs sorted out. Though they might stay on for a little while

Six months after replacing the genuine driveflanges due to wear with Bearmach OEM flanges they too have just started to show signs of wear.
So it's time to try Bearmach HD flanges painted black as the gold is just too chintzy and very Cheshire. Click image to enlarge Ohh and after having a weekend with the tow hitch ploughing it's merry way It's time to have a receiver hitch.

Time for another coming up to speed post.
Soo the 110 has been faultlessly (there I've said it ) going fine. Still getting 6K services and doing the daily commute it is fine.
Last month was time for a new set of boots. So replacement Cooper ST maxx went on, same as before but for all round performance they are Ace. 
Click image to enlarge Back end of last year I needed to move the box trailer and the supplied drop hitch isn't low enough to tow it nicely. There was some heath Robinson construction to get the ball hitch low enough. So today as I've finally had time after the PPE run I got to work on the Bearmach long drop plate and the ladder off my old Dixon bate. Click image to enlarge Yes it will be painted soon just wanted to see if the maths works. Yes it's low and not braced but trust me it's F£^%£ing chunky and heavy and only the box van and my fathers mobile wheel barrow will be that low, most Ifors will be 1/2 way up the slider. The original one is now the dedicated Penman setup, but keeping the ladders to allow it to be high enough yet rearward enough to open the hitch past the spare wheel. And still have a universal mix and match depending on the circumstance Click image to enlarge In the background you see my new impact gun which I brought just before the lockdown and thus not been able to go on fixing jobs with.  Talk about bad timing. Also can be found on Fb, Ytube, Insta & Twitter @4WDSouthwest |
