Fitted the Entreq Splash Plates .. bit of a faf .. no photos as my hands were covered in waxoyl/dinitrol stuff
Usual entreq quality components, complimented with ZERO instructions, fitted perfectly... not sure I'd pay full price for them though 
Went to look at some posh wood burners called "Chesney's" .. also, I have been testing the dual battery system together with the electric blankets whilst monitoring on the ultra-gauge .. so many toys  Last edited by bpman on 13th May 2012 4:01pm. Edited 1 time in total |

Took my kids to my parents for the weekend yesterday and on the way back, did a bit of gentle greenlaning:

Great stuff Steve, glad you got sorted.
Rob is certainly "the man" when it comes to A7's.
Enjoy yourselves with it.  |

Had a bit of time this morning to fit this little lot:

I took some 'before' pictures last week so I'll take some 'after' ones shortly to give a comparison.

Steve B you're in for a great surprise as compared to the Defender you'll find the Austin Seven rapid, taut with razor sharp handling and lightening throttle response !

Great choices there! You've gone for identical to what I did early this year. You won't be dissapointed especially with the bulbs |

Took mine into London early yesterday morning and drove past loads of half naked women to collect the OH from the moonwalk. Parked outside the Hard Rock Cafe and walked over to the finish at Hyde Park where I amused myself telling some of the finishers that they only had one more lap to do
Collected the tired looking better half and helped her in to the heated passenger seat then cruised home via Knightsbridge McDs to feed her. John http://www.hampshire4x4response.co.uk 2011 Tdci 110 CSW XS |

I just realised how much your 110 looks like one of the Landrover experience Defenders. I saw one of theirs on the road last night near High Wycombe, reminded me of yours. Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated  |

Yesterday I:
Replaced the door striker plate bolts with stainless ones and gave them a slight tweak. Ran a bead of white silicone sealent down the length of the roof seals to try and stop water getting in (already sealed the alpine window seal) Checked engine oil/PAS fluid/Coolant water/topped up the screen wash and checked for leaks around the gaskets I have replaced (all good )
Sussed how to remove the wing mirror glass. Ordered new rear mud flaps as one is just hanging on. 1999 Defender TD5 110 Regards John M0VAZ Econet Station 48 no clock |
