I'm afraid a wheelie bin is only counted as collateral damage 

[Peter Holden]

Went for a ride of about 70 miles altogether  to go and inspect a lightweight.  Called at the garage that used to maintain  it for the po.  It is not the same as they remember it

[nutbar]

Finished chassis bushes, fluids change and grease up......  Words cannot describe the pain of the job!!

Cleaned up the underside at one of the few places it's permitted to poke the jet-wash lance underneath the car...

[oddjob]

That’s incredibly clean. 

Is your Swiss mot coming up soon? I hear they are extremely strict.

A trip into the Forest to open the Forestry gate so the septic tank "slurper" truck could get in, 3 mile round trip... and back to shut it after he left, then a run up to the village hall to meet the installation team who are putting in our Broadband system, conversation with one of them who has a blown head-gasket on his Disco 2....

 Engine stop working returning home from work (38°c outside). Looks like the carburator, I strip down in the middle of the street I founded some debris (looks grey small plastic) in the float valve after two blocks stop again. Strip down again and more debris. After two hours trip for 10 kms reach home.
I don't like problems with the car but I love it , is so simple only three  different tools and a little of knowledge and you can reach home.
Next weekend I will clean the fuel tank and change fuel filter and hoses.

[LandCasco]

New fuel hoses and fuel filters. Adjust the brakes again.

Time to a ride for test now

Went for a drive in the Peak District in my 109, to give the dogs a run. Got the walking done before the storm hit, but caught it on the way home. I know know that I definitely need new door seals and vent seals!

10-12 inches of fresh snow overnight. So out to the Rover garage to plow.  flat front left tire.
Turn on compressor and fill tube tire, hoping it would work at least until I finished plowing for the day.  :-*held enough pressure until job done. Parked Rover, and went in for lunch.
Came out later, tire flat again
So I look for spare tire.
Not in Rover garage. Remembered I left it in my storage garage.
  Storage garage snowed in too. Plowed away from
door except that that last 10 inches was ice.
Applied liberal amounts of rock salt and went for coffee.
Came out again and chipped away ice and got door open.
Retrieved spare plus and extra older wheel and tire. Both were inflated
Jacked up Rover and replaced flat with the spare, checked and adjusted air pressure, removed jack and torqued studs to 85 ft/pds.
Completely fatigued now. 
Fortunately, it was  quite warm today - about 0 degrees C.

Mini oil service on the 109 prior to a trip to Heywood, to collect all my galvanised parts from Manchester galvanising.

Didn’t need much more than a couple of pumps of oil into the gearbox, drained a bit from the transfer box, and a full pint needed in the front axle. Most of it leaks out via the swivel balls. Next job when it warms up a bit!

Galvanised parts look brilliant! Pretty Cheap too.
