Today i scrapped old wax oil off my chassis in preparation for a new coating.
Found some rust but not major so will apply rust inhibiter prior to recoating. What a joy it was  |

With the recent arrival of another dog, I figured it was time to remove the 2 rear seats in the 110 to give them both more space. Whilst they were out, I decided I’d start the seemingly endless task of applying dynamat (extreme) and a dynaliner... a lot more to do!

I worked on the new rear seating arrangement and welded an extension to the lug on my front seats so i can tip them forward and they stay there
Before, the wouldn;t lock past this position Click image to enlarge Add a weld to this point to allow the lug to travel further Click image to enlarge Now they stop here; Click image to enlarge |

Today I managed to drive my Defender
I've being having kit delivered to the house and finally arranged to move a full load of it to the office, and I suspect there will be another load sooner rather than later (much to the displeasure of SWMBO). Was great to finally venture further than the end of the street, but a little errie how deserted places were.  2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone
2002 - Black Discovery II - Gone 2014 - Montalcino Red 110 XS SW |

Drove mine today too, to the exciting world of Morrisons
Driving the Defender was a real pleasure though, especially with the quiet roads  |

Although working from home at the moment, yesterday afternoon I had to pop in to the office, some 15 miles from home, to collect stuff I need for next week. It was such a delight to be out in the Defender, on a beautiful sunny spring afternoon in glorious Dorset, with very little other traffic about. It was by far the most enjoyable drive I have had for many years.

Did a little drive in poppy this week, just a wee potter from Aberdeen back to home to Cornwall ...
Drove about 650 miles over 2 days back home on mostly empty or very quiet roads that used to be called ‘motorways’ and couldn't find that local delicacy called 'Traffic Jam', and even had to miss taking time admiring the view at 'spaghetti junction' I went up about 3 weeks ago and found the roads much the same, a little busier on the way home than on the way up though ... I Camped on the English boarder, with VERY strict social distancing, (ie - completely on my own with a view of the hills !) I was totally independent, having enough food and water on board, and sleeping in the vehicle (and with my own potty!) - so only time I came into contact with people was for fuel - and that was very well managed with keeping to social distancing. I did find deserted services were I was the only car in the car park when I pulled in to cook my food, and was expecting to be checked at the Cornish boarder for my authority to travel and ID, but that didn't happen this time. So Poppy proved to be a very useful tool being able to get me to and from work in times of no public transport, and helping me keep social distancing with accommodation and catering etc. .
one of the ‘busy’ service stations ..! Poppy - TDCI (Puma) 110XS 2.2 - Camper conversion - see the build here - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic56530.html Elgar -TDCI(Puma) 110XS Dormobile - now sold Devon & Cornwall 4x4 Response - DC126 |

Not very exciting!
Put a new genuine air filter in. The one that came out was quite dirty, so hoping it will make a bit of difference. Plucking up the courage to clean the MAF sensor but I don't really know what I'm doing so I don't want to mess it up and end up with more problems!!  |
