Topped up all the oils and made a new exhaust bracket which cured the rattle

Not much, on account of having driven to Bristol and back for a meeting. However I did drop by Andover on the way to pick up the hardener which had been missed off my paint order and only noticed yesterday after having mordant washed all the galvanised parts so the clock is ticking on painting, and dropped in on Tom on the way back to pick up some old tie rod ends and admire his 1960 S2 which is a lot more together than mine at the moment.

En route to Andover I had a text from my wife telling me that the person who had agreed to spray my parts had changed his mind  :thud She ended up spending her morning in A&E, ringing various people to see whether they could take on the spraying at short notice (see mordant comment above). Looks promising that someone may do it, otherwise I will be brush painting 2-pack primer tomorrow evening  :agh

Vehicle used for some film work today. Consisted of mostly driving slowly on single track road whilst being filmed. Not being filmed in the traditional sense but think I was being used for thermal imaging targeting and heat source recognition by some very high tech cameras. Ask to do it by a friend who works for Thales(optical defense contractor). I think the forum has gone all broken again as my posts from yesterday are gone and can't seem to be able to attach pics.

So figured it out now. Phone seems to default to a mobile phone mode. Clicked the 'switch to full site'  and better now. Hope it won't do that every time as really can't be *&%^$ using a semi broken forum. Is it possible to reinstate the old one?

Took George to work yesterday, went for a tracking and tyre check - all OK, then spent a bit of time with a young up-start.





George seemed to drive OK, still need to sort the fine adjustment on the engine, also have a couple of oil leaks that need looking at, but then again he is a Land Rover  :-X :RHD :cool

This is a bit of a test... I tried posting it yesterday and didn't get very far.

Finished refurbishing the cold start knob yesterday.  Will hopefully be posting the completely refurbished mechanism later today.

That went well... 

Finally got the dash panel finished.  I waited until the cold start knob was ready and polished it at the same time I did the dome light knob and the ignition/headlight switch.  I've included a "before" pic of the ignition switch.

Took the old Denso tape off the front springs. Gave them several brushings of a mixture of old engine oil and white spirit. Wrapped them back up in new Denso tape. A nice clean job for a warm day.
