Pinch punch ... new month ... anything

Used Tonka to take "shovels and rakes and implements of destruction" up to the Village Hall to cut back the trees enough for the new village wi-fi system to reach the Hall.... Free unlimited Broadband in the hall as part of the area wide installation !

Too difficult for BT to even bother with, it took a Council grant and a bit of local fund-raising, 6 years work and several false starts, we finally have decent Broadband out here.

^^^That sounds like a much more fitting use of a Series 2. I've just cleaned mine; it should probably be confiscated or something...

You can be forgiven,  At least you didn't paint the cab roof

Following the incident with two crumbling dumb irons recently I have been removing old spring bushes
Thanks to all the great advice here it hasn’t been too much trouble

After having the Ambulance sitting for ages half in, half out of the shed I set to and threw stuff about to clear some space then bolted a "D ring" towing eye to the shed floor and tirfor'd the beast in properly. Its sitting on 4 "dollies" so the plan tomorrow is to finish turning it through 90 degrees and put it against the back wall, side on to the door. The dollies give it enough mobility to be able to lever them about using a long bar, maybe 4-6 inches at a time. That will give me space to work on it in the dry and still have enough room to get another vehicle 3/4 in to the shed, so I can work on them too.... This is not the weather for lying under vehicles outside !

I think I will, at some stage, add some more strategically placed towing eyes around the walls, hopefully make moving dead vehicles a bit easier. Should have had the foresight to do that when we were pouring the foundation. :-(

After getting it muddy new years day and and breaking a camshaft idler bolt on the way home now it's up and running went for a jolly yesterday and had a bit of a clean under the bonnet

And after a ten minute wipe over

New home made sump gasket, use the Series as a workwrench is so useful.

Continued the grand chucking of things around the shed..... Got Dora the Marshall in and turned sideways, there is enough room at the front to access the engine bay and complete that work. Chucked a lot of the bits into the back. A job will be to extract them and sort them into something tidy. Further chucking about will create more shelf space...

The key thing is that I now have enough "under cover" space to work on another vehicle as required :-)

Yes it was raining, pretty much all day and yes, those 30w LED Panels are BRIGHT. :-)

Been out to the local pay and play site. But took my series 3 


The series 2 that attended didn't believe the water was too deep

Nice pic, Mr Allthegear.

Incidentally, how come you have an Essex shield in your avatar, when you live in Suffick?

Wannabe Essex boy?

Nothing I like more than playing with an old bush on a Sunday
(Although that pay and play site looks fun)

A lovely new half chassis welded on. Not the best fun in the rain but great to see the Land Rover growing instead of shrinking.

It's blowing a gale here today ...
