Just a few small jobs left, and then we're ready for the holidays!

It's been a busy day today. Firstly, met Jeremy - nice to meet you, Jeremy
 - and waved good bye to my old Sankey trailer (see his post on the last page). Then I swapped all of the wheelarches on my 110 for some black ones that I picked up from eBay a little while ago:

Then finally, I used my new Sankey trailer for the first time in anger to take a load of garden rubbish to the tip. I stopped off on the way back to take some piccies (as you do  ):

I've ordered a hard plastic defender wheel cover for the spare and collected new windscreen hinges / brackets to spray myself so the paint doesn't flake off.

I've moved all the crap from under the driver's seat and installed a "normal" 300TDi tank under there. Fitting the tank and the filler pipe/cap took a few days - partly because the tank guard I got and the sill bars weren't compatible so I had to cut and weld the tank guard which meant fitting, marking, removing, refitting etc... Moving all the electrics out from under then seat took a few days too 
Lots of details on the aux fuel tank and the supplementary tank fitting available here... http://landytravels.com/ We've now got around 32 gallons capacity in total with around 90 litres in the main tank and supplementary tank and then 55 litres in the auxiliary tank under the seat. http://www.yorkshireoffroadclub.net/ |

Changed the engine oil this weekend and fitted Samco Turbo hoses and Alive EGR removal kit.
EGR was clean, but the inside of the hoses was oily.... Anyone knows if it takes time for the ECU to recognize the EGR has disappeared? Afterwards I started the engine but it died after a few seconds. 
The battery was low so I connected the second battery and tried to start, after turning the starter motor for half a minute it finally started. No problems since so I hope it was is because of the low battery. Martin Previous 2003 Defender 110 Hardtop TD5 2004 Defender 110 Station Wagon TD5 - Libyan Sand 2005 Discovery 3 - V8 - Black |

Just missed 4 mint Santorini black arches from a wrecked 2011 X-Tech and they would have been a good price

Looks great. Are they the standard unpainted gloss black arches? They are are a bit awkward to do arent they. After replacing mine I watched one fly off on the M18. Fortunately I managed to retrieve it undamaged but I ended up throwing the plastic clips and replacing them with stainless bolts/nuts. |

These ones are painted gloss black. I nearly resorted to putting some self tappers through the centre of the plastic rivets instead of the little plastic rod, but didn't have any of the right size to hand so had to persevere instead

Nice truck, the best colour as well, those arches look the business
Life is one big adventure, that's why we have the vehicle for the journey. |
