Removed the squished apple remains off the 110 and pushed out the dents caused by the scum that used the vehicle for target practice last night. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.

Took an old sofa up to the dump and acted as taxi service.
Quite impressed I managed to fit the sofa in through the back door and close it afterwards.  1970 Series 2A 88" |

Had a set of Wipac crystals with Nightbreakers, Wipac 8" spots on a soft A Bar, Paddock steel steering guard, full dog barrier all fitted. The lights make an enormous difference.

Did a few trips back and forth dropping people at various places, then spent an afternoon with a bottle of Captain Tollys trying to find the source of the leak which is making my right knee very wet after rainfall.
Then spent a lot of time in the workshop putting it all back together. Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197 Self confessed mileage hunter  |

16" gloss black sawtooth alloys with 235/85/16 General Grabber AT2s, should be a good all round combination hopefully. hopefully look something like this...  Click image to enlarge Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

Added an additional layer of security to my Defender (obviously not going to say what was added on a public forum) using the advice from various posts on this forum.

took it to JSF and had the EGR valve replaced and a software upgrade.
Runs smoother and it amazing how much more power it's got 
Obviously I'd not noticed the slow reduction in power, just the increased fuel consumption Russell 2011MY 110 XS USW Black |
