2008 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Cairns Blue

Having worked in industry and latterly at a heritage railway I have had it drummed into me to wear the appropriate P.P.E.

So its bump stop hat, eye protection, steel toe cab boots, overall's and gloves for any work on the land rover so that I'm all safe except onetime having laid underneath a 300TDi to sort out an earthing problem which I sorted out went into the garage to rid myself of the P.P.E. and stepping out of the boots I put me left foot down without looking straight on the an upturned 3 pin plug which resulted in two broken bones in said foot and six weeks with foot in plaster. 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.

Just a heads up.....keep your feet well away from a Transfer Box when you are lifting it out of the way.

Watch you don’t bash your head on an open door if you get under it and back out. No Guts, No Glory.

Well I will go with mine.... It was not because I was working on the defender but it was that I was going to transport a few sheets of
1mm stainless steel.

The problem, apart from me, is that the dorr of my 110 is small, like all the defenders, so in order to fit said sheets i will have to bend them, ans then release them inside..... Well they never reach inside, i got trapped between the sheets and the door and as they unfold they cut clean the skin on my forearm and the tendons and the arteries and nerves of my right hand.

I could not drive anything for 3 months and still, after 2 years all the movement has not been restored.

Have fun, wear long sleeves, be save Augusto
