@ Grenadier - isnt that what the trays at McD's were meant for? Althought the ones from Wimpey in go faster red looked better Laughing

@ AJC - I know you would. His daily is the white turbo, which he bought as a temporary about 10 years ago whilst he did something to the black one. As for the Vauxhall, everyone has a skeleton or two in their cupboard.

What I dont understand is the white one is a genuine car, so in the current market rising in value, yet the black one is a replica he built probably '99/00 yet thats the one he treasures the most.

At some point I'll get my own 80's Ford back together

Rear crossmember refurb.
Dropped the defender into my local amazing Indie (Vanstones of Launceston) to have the rear chequerplate on the crossmember removed and the cross member resprayed ready for the next project Thumbs Up

Good to see the rear crossmember in such great condition after 4.5 years under the chequerplate. I did make sure the crossmember was well treated prior to fitting the chequerplate and lots of ACF 50 applied during that time too.

Fitted Flatdog Rax

Checking setting out dimensions for the feet and noticed the length is not as advertised.

Flatdog claim it is 2.8m long. The one delivered is 75mm shorter, which is disappointing as it would look better on the truck if it aligned with the front windscreen and the rear panel.

Quite fiddly to attach the leg feet clamp as there is insufficient space to get a ratchet spanner on to the nut. Defender 110 XS SW Puma - 2011

Most manufacturers seem to claim 2.8m long but the length is then tuned to follow the rake of the screen not the actual length of the rack....

Safety devices do the same with their per mine below.

Thanks Matt110,

This clarifies, but does not help make the roofrack 2.8m.

I emailed Flatdog, awaiting their response. Defender 110 XS SW Puma - 2011

Holding the indicator stalk on for RH manoeuvres has become wearisome. Hence a delivery van turned up today with this:-

Got the grease gun out for some routine maintenance - spare wheel carrier got some attention and the squeaky brake pedal. Mundane but satisfying.

Less mundane was taking a phone call from a local specialist in response for a quote for a new clutch and output shaft šŸ˜³šŸ˜³šŸ˜³
