Completed fitting replacement Jones front springs. Finally managed a job without having to seek help from the forum!
Now sitting nice and level, no more leaning down on the driver’s side. Hopefully will stay that way.

Loaded up ready for a trip to six penny Handley

Vapour blasted and ultrasonically cleaned my carbatooter.
Had a day of meeting S2C members. Fixed one vehicle (carb fault) and removed a broken hub flange bolt from another. Good day all round - especially now I've got hold of a set of WIPAC reversing lights.
Tomorrow may not be fun - got talked into picking up a 101 for a local garage... I do not plan to work on it...

Had to go into the city to pic up my motor cycle's repaired alloy wheels (damn pot-holes), then out into the countryside for some things for SWMBO.

Ran well and longest run since sorting a clutch problem. Nearly all set for Ripon !

Moving the hay trailer & service support for the tractor ready for hay hauling at the weekend

Today we moved the vacuum brake cylinders from the Midland Railway Royal Saloon to our workshop for overhaul, using the Skanky trailer!

Rebuilt my Solex now its back from vapour blasting and ultrasound cleaning. Looks great although I can't say the same for the rest of the engine!

Having been through the mill for the last few days fighting tappets, rockers etc on another S2 engine, I thought I'd better refit my pushrods and rocker shaft to my own engine now that job is complete.

Moral of the story is best live in blissful ignorance and don't clean anything up properly before you refit it. The rocker shaft is shot - over 0.5mm wear on the thrust side where each rocker runs and 8 knackered rocker bushes.

I now know what I'll be looking for at Newbury...

I’ve spent the day out in the heat refitting my hoodsticks and seatbelt bar after getting fed up with running a noisy truckcab.
Spanners were so hot they were burning my hands, and I’ve drunk 4 pints of fruit juice to combat dehydration.

And anyone who says a hot cup of tea will cool you down can get knotted.

Hopefully I've sorted the leaking hub, new oil-seal at the inner hub bearing.  It was a nice day so teacher said we could play outside....

Set off for Spain!

Set off for Spain!

 

In your Land Rover, I hope.🤔

Of course. Can’t cheat in the  “what did you do with your Series 2 today” thread.

Erratic speedo. I've replaced the dodgy cable, so investigated the output flange nut. Split pin intact, but was only finger tight!

Soon tightened to the 85lbft. Now onto cleaning out the brakes of 6d Handley mud!

…. did a tip run, temp gauge was approaching the red,  - hovering just under for most of the way there, then on the way back the same, then just like magic it dropped back to N half way home, just like the thermostat opened - could be sticking, I now know my next job !

Took apart the spare diff I got from the scrapyard. It's maybe not as perfect as I thought
