Finally refitted the gearbox after its oil loss! Overdrive still to go on after overhaul.

Considering fitting one of those aluminium transfer box sump plates.... any views?

It came from New Zealand 😇

It seems to be an iPad thing, whereas the screen rotates, the ‘taken’ image doesn’t. One day I’ll try to find out exactly what does it.

In last weeks cold weather I noticed the heater had packed up. Started by checking there was power to the switch - and there was only 2v.... Very odd. Opened the bonnet, checked the voltage at the fuse box... the same, 2v. Took the lid off the fuse box....green corrosion on the fuse body. Cleaned it up, replaced it...12.8v and fan moving nicely.

One of the simpler jobs !

I took the plunge when I put the Roamerdrive in...

Nice thing to fit, can't comment on the effectiveness or necessity of the cooling aspect given its application but it doesn't drip oil from sump :-*

Only leak is straight through the (apparently porous) sump plug  :thud

Still doing it .. out for a spin with the roof off as the weather is glorious and finally I can have a drink and BBQ with some mates in the garden tonight.

Head home in a minute.

For my brother's Series IIA, I made and installed 8000Lb electric winch, It looks very good and looks good. I still have to finish making the electrical connection.
 It is very firm, I could hang the LR from the winch.

Still very pleasant weather on this side of the world, about 25 degrees and Sun.
