Spent a superb weekend clearing overgrown tracks at an off-road site near Matlock at the request of the landowner. Apart from Fri night the weather was glorious.

Here is where we camped, viewed from the off-road site.

9yr old driving the Defender (with permission of the landowner). He started driving that day and I felt brave enough to get out of the car and take some pictures and videos by this point......

Easing the aches, pains and scratches around the campfire after a hard day clearing back all sorts of vicious prickly bushes.

Final drive around the site on Sunday morning when the inevitable happened. Stucker than a very stuck thing Laughing

Changed the half shafts and driven flanges on my 110.

New gaskets, flanges, half shafts, bolts and rubber caps.

No longer goes clunk clunk when moving up gears, and also no more low speed kangaroo diesel when going over a wee bump or turning a corner in wrong gear Smile

Am a happy bunny Wink

Saturday gave the 110 a wash and cleaned the alloys which where thick with brake dust, the wheels are now shiney again. Must get some decent alloy wheel cleaner.

Sunday went to the Gareth Hall Rally at the Ranges in Trawsfnydd. A quiet day with just two recoveries to do. Mk2 Escort which needed a front suspended lift and another car that needed just a straight tow. 1999 Defender TD5 110

Hot soapy water is best mate!

Alloy wheel (acid) cleaners gradually eat into the protective coatings on the alloy and after a while it make it increasingly harder to get them clean Rolling Eyes YOLO... You Only Live Once...

Alloy wheel sealer...Mmm..Off to look for some. If it makes life easier then sounds a bonus to me. 1999 Defender TD5 110

If using Autoglym wheel seal make sure you do not spray any of it onto your brakes...same goes for any other make
Personally I find Meguiars Car Alloy Wheel Brake Dust Barrier Spray Sealant to be a better product than Autoglym's.
Though if you want the best and can find it then use Collinite Insulator Wax brilliant stuff. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..
