Hello procta 👍🏻 She’s already on a storm stage 2+ tune with the updated map sensor he sells , my turbo is knackered and wound to the max , but is so worn the boost isn’t huge , can’t afford a fancy turbo I’m afraid , I may get mine refurbed , but she does well , she gets to 60 really well even in her present state and the special tracks eat power , infact the drag is so great you hardly have to use the brakes

Great that you got her out of the garage and was able to go for a prescription run

A little update , she’s been out of the garage for work commuting , Monday and Tuesday was pure snow fun , today I took cos I wanted too 👍🏻 We got minus 8 tonight and snow too again , so looks like she’ll get a full week out , 5 days in a row , she’s covered in salt so come the weekend I’ll wash that all off , fellow colleagues recon it’s loud , well it would be with only a short pipe 😂

Well goodness gracious me , how the devil are you all ? So I parked her up in feb after the snow , and tonight I have paid her a visit , she’s on an optimiser and she started in the first turn of the key 👍🏻 It’s mot in august , so I thought I would give her a once over , I gave her a good wash when I parked her up , but alas I got some chassis work to do because of the winter salt , I knew I should have got to her earlier , but it’s to late to moan . So this weekend she’s gonna get an inside out and upside down snow foam bath x 2 . Once she’s dry I’ll get cutting and welding ready for august . She’s only done 200 mile since last time , having her sitting and doing nothing doesn’t help does it . Keep safe everyone and I’ll catch ya on the other side 👍🏻😎
Oh and the off road pit is now permanently closed , so no more off roading , there is another pit , but that’s 40 mile away , and that’s to far for me in the truck , don’t think I can sell her though , so will keep mot-ing and wait for some snow Ta-tar |

Hi razz, all okay down here in Devon thanks, shame about the pit closing so no more fun for you

Hope to catch up with you again with the hopefully good news that she has passed her mot Clayton.

Hello fella , glad Devon is all good , blooming hot ain’t it , well tonight she’s had a double snow foam bath and a mega underneath and chassis wash and flush too , I got soaked laying under there but soon dried off in all this heat . Next job will be to remove the exhaust and cut away and clean the bad chassis area , needs to be a tad cooler to do that , Thursday and Friday look ideal as it’s supposed to pour down , so pics coming soon 👍🏻

It sure is hot at the moment and you don't mind getting wet in this heat

So this evening was spent laying under the beast , I took the exhaust off for more space and cut a hole where the chassis had burst from in to out . I could see straight away that although I flush the chassis out after every pit run an old piece of chassis from a previous repair had fell to bottom of the chassis creating a dam and where this dam was and all the
 , it sat wet and rotted through . After the photo was taken , out came the hose and a real good flush of the chassis took place . I will make the hole a lot bigger as there are a couple of pit run damage patches in the area . Got plenty of 2.5mm steel ready to be cut and shaped . Welding time is here again 👍🏻

Good news , she passed with a couple of advisories , well she’s only done 248 miles since last time . It’s easier keeping it road worthy now it’s not at a pit every month

Hello everyone , I hope you all had a good Christmas and wishing you a happy new year . So the defender has not been moved since it’s mot , except to be parked in storage because once again our landlord has a change of mind . So we have moved just before Christmas again . Anyways , I’m off to collect the defender next weekend and she’s coming home , and this time to be used . Hooray . I don’t have anywhere indoors to work on it now , and have got a tarp to throw over it to keep the worst off . But she will now be used weekly and I can not wait , ear defenders at the ready
