Sunny Sunday

Been a little while since Sluggie's blog has been updated. Work and house have been getting in the way. However, with better weather over the weekend, managed to sneak a few hours of play time.

A new radio/CD player has been fitted (article), battery box cleaned up (article), further water leaks on roof identified (article) and the intermittent screen wiper issue resolved (article).

Start of the refit

Spent some time getting the Land Rover, now named "Sluggie", ready for the first trip out to the Lake District. See the article here.

Start of New Year

Christmas is now finally behind us. Here's a link to some work to get the Land Rover ready for a trip at the end of January.

End of Year Bits 'n' Bobs

Have not updated this blog for a little while since not really had much time recently. Katie has been away for a few weeks on a family holiday, some urgent issues crept up on the house that needed sorting and then Christmas arrived. 

Anyway, managed to get a few bits and bobs under way - see the article.

Rear Door Lock and Roof

Started worked on changing the barrel lock and rejuvenating the rear door lock - see article.

Christopher help me remove all the roof aerials, interior roof lining and all the internal radio cabling - see article. Even let him drive the Land Rover back into the garage - huge smiles.

Created a list of all the parts which have been changed/modified/added to the Land Rover - see the list here.

Found another website that has exploded views of the entire Land Rover with links to all part numbers. It features an in built search facility to order them online at various well known genuine Land Rover part distributors. Hold on to that credit card!

Given that it is now getting colder and damp this time of year, have placed inside the Land Rover a couple of dehumidifiers. Also going to delay the Waxoyl treatment until next year until it is warmer and allowing me time to ensure that all work underneath the Land Rover is complete first.

Checks and Fixes

Created a master list of all fixes/changes/etc... that would like to undertake. See the list.

Found a really helpful website which has exploded diagrams for the entire vehicle and a part numbers of every component. Life saver.

Some check and fixes undertaken this week - see the article.

Full Service and Some Fixes

This week the Land Rover went for its full service and spent some time on a few fixes. See the article.
