Drove it out of the garage in the afternoon sun, to get its stablemate out, also 4WD, to do its job for the first time this year.
Both started first time and ran well.
Felt the need to drive the LR round the field and up the hill in 4WD to charge the battery and lube the swivels - who was I, to resist?

Solved the fuel gauge not working issue on '62 109 2 door ST.  I tried my NOS spare sender and it worked fine.  Reattached the sender in place, more forcibly then my predecessor and viola, the gauge now works fine.

Now installing 4 galvy bench seats.

I moved a  static caravan across a friend's field, it was going fine until I stopped, the caravan immediately sank down to it's axle. Took 2 trolley jacks and some oak boards to get it set up in its new position.....

Not much... Stood beside it and talked to 109+1... Now have a nice set of bulkhead outriggers  for my SW and some military light lenses for my LWT. Thanks Steve!

Perhaps I should get on and do some work on the SW and update the thread

Sounds familiar to my morning!  Thank you Steve for all the bits for my 110!

Had a wee run out in the Landie, just for a test run you understand. Down though Hamilton then up the long climb to Strathaven, had a picnic in a laybye cause Strathaven park was chocker with people then a nice run over to East Kilbride and a coast down the hill to home. Enjoyed it and the Landie worked very well, clutch still grapping a bit but getting better, might try bleeding it again.

Emptied the mini dehumidifier in the Dormy. Had been getting alot of condensation in it so bought a small tube heater and then saw one of these https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/md900/electriq-md900-dehumidifier needs the tube heater in cold weather otherwise it clogs up with ice. Works OK in the small space and keeps everything dry.

Moved the reversing work light (period rectangular foglight) down from the roofrack to the panel above the number plate and hooked it up to the feed coming down the front-back trailer cable that emerges in the RH rear light cover box. Now I can see where I've been as well as where I'm going.

Made a slight adjustment to my clutch slave cylinder rod thingy , the one that goes to the triangular activating bit. Seems slightly better now , even without starting the engine I can select 2nd and third more easily and the pedal has a better feel.

Also put some Molyslip in the box for good measure . Haven’t had a chance to try it on the road because my dinner was ready . ( That’s evening meal just to avoid the Lunch , Dinner , Tea , Supper debate )

[Peter Holden]

Dont use molyslip in situations where there are plain roller "hyat" type races, it is too slippy and causes the rollers to skid instead of turn develkoping flats.

(The PO did it to my overdrive and almost knackered it)

Took it over to sister #1 to borrow a trailer for a delivery to sister #2. Left it at sister #1's 'cos the trailer socket cable had parted company with the socket. Borrowed a Shogun(!) from sister #1's partner for the delivery. Brought series back home this evening. Missed out on my fifty mile NVH fix!

I suspect I know what I'll be doing with it tomorrow.....

Out again yesterday afternoon with the NW 4x4 Response Volunteers up Rivington Pike, clearing up after the rabble who drop their litter and generally keeping people safe.  An opportunity to drive the full length of a green lane that I have only ever driven part of before.  They like having the series there, it attracts as lot of attention and gives an opportunity to promote the charity.

It was my off road assessment for them that provided the opportunity for the phot in the March Competition

Spent some time cleaning threads on hubs prior to rebuild. A very satisfying pastime.

martin, use a 3/8 BSF tap to clear the threads for the bolts that hold the drive spider on and clear any debris from the bottom of the holes if they are blind.  I have had one break this weekend because it bottomed.  (long story related to some work a garage did for a PO but I now have to take the hub off and get out the remnants of the broken bolt and they are an odd length.

Didn't have a great day yesterday, one of my wheel studs has come out. This video shows it before the welds holding it completely severed https://youtube.com/shorts/JjUpFyj7SiM?feature=share
Its a pull in type wheel stud and it's completely wollered out the hole so fixing it will require quite a lot of effort. I'm hoping any welds I do will stick properly. Luckily I can probably borrow my friends milling machine to make sure I get the hole back in the right place
