You can see why i was having trouble when you look at how shiney and smooth the mud has made my tyres. I wasnt digging in, just polishing the grass!

I wasnt digging in, just polishing the grass! Just surfaced from my pit.. finished the night shift and got my head down at 8am. I couldn't get comfy at work until I fitted Morphs Steering wheel to the desk ;-) Piccys look good Tim, I'll upload mine in a mo once my eyes open fully.

Also learnt alot, like when planning a route if some one says "you'll fit through easy" runaway. Think of a time the route will take and multiply by four. And roads which look massive on a 50000 scale map after gazing at lanes for hours are in reality not much bigger than the track, they just have tarmac. Tom you retrieved the truck yet?

Had to stop for it to boil for a while just before nantwich, which quite annoyed some old bloke who's house we were devaluing by being outside. I have to say that, looking at it in the daylight i chose quite a nice place to brake down! - the view putting my pulley back on was much nicer than my usual views while fixing the landy! It surrently gives the driver a permenant sauna effect - so hopefully the running hot is due to the popped expansion tank and not the head gasket! Now... can i just block off the expansion tank feed or change the waterpump to a 90 item to eliminate it? > Retrieved thisafternoon, though it is now running very hot (It used to > run below N and is now on the red line).

I'm not familiar with your cooling system but I'd say it will be the expansion tank. The water will boil much quicker as it's not under pressure. New expansion tank should sort it fingers crossed. May be worth a trip to the scrappy or a trawl of ebay. I'm more releived that you found it again, I had visions of mustering a search party ;-) Lee >> Piccys look good Tim, I'll upload mine in a mo once my eyes open >> fully. > >http://www.lrproject.com/pictures/oswestry/index.html I'll upload mine tommorrow.

I wasnt digging in, just polishing the grass! Of course, it could just be that a skilful photographer has allowed the wheels to blur ever so slightly to give an impression of movement...

Would it be better to have a square, two line > numberplate in the same place? I'm sorry do I know you ;-) It depends on how you look at it I guess. Fair to say that any Speed camera should pick out the number on the same side of the road but probably not the other. Cheaper option would be to display it Grumble stylie I guess.... I like cheap! I've still got one of those chrome trim thingys from the Rangie which I did intent putting on when I relocate it anyway, may as well have some bling in the DMZ. Next time I have a "tuit" I'll shift it and bung some rivets in the holes. There are still two holes from the military number plate I need to fill anyway which are allowing cold air through..... just the other 99.8% of draught to locate and stop then. Give me 2 months and it'll be too hot again. :-) Lee Signaturewww.lrproject.com Reaching the parts other Landrover restorers can't reach - JLo makes new home in the USA.

One more area to box in then it's on to either put doors or sliders on the main cupboards, choices choices! It's all beginging to look very homely now. I've got my first full on camping session planned (solo) , much cheaper than a Hotel though I don't know what the chaps at Thames Valley will make of him on their H.Q. car park. Couple of months to go yet though, site is at the back of a pub.... dunno how I'm going to survive three nights ;-) Lee D Signaturewww.lrproject.com Reaching the parts other Landrover restorers can't reach - JLo makes new home in the USA.

I'll send you the plumber's bill. Nice picture of a windscreen wiper in there... I went to the lanes around Ostrichwee as well some time ago, and intend to go again one of these days, I've got a fair few routes in Memory Map to try. Lee and I swapped overlays so that's given me some more to have a crack at.
