I went for a lunch time bike ride today up past Chilfrome. I would imagine that this is the green and pleasant they talk about… given that it’s winter here, this isn’t too bad I don’t think.
We took a long stroll on Powerstock common yesterday evening. It seemed much darker through my eyes, my phone was able to see far better than I was,
I reversed into the garage the other day and got so close to the back wall that there was a crunch. The lamp that lights the registration got squished a little cracking the clear lens. When I checked its function, it was not lighting up. I took it apart and found that the connections inside of the fitting where very corroded and most parts where rusty. The Volt meter was reading just about 2 or 3 volts at the lamp position. So I decided to retro fit some LED’s and wire them directly back to the wiring avoiding this connection arrnagement. Found a couple of LEDs that would fit well. Then I realised that when I fitted my reversing light, I had only fitted once because I didn’t want to run an individual wire across under the tub. When I was in doing the wiring on the inside it was […]
I happened across the model of this toy that I did ages back and though I’d pull it into Vectary and put the 3D model here:
Didn’t start very quickly did it? Although it never does when it’s not been started for more than a couple of weeks. When it started, it was on less than all of the cylinders, this did improve once it had warmed up a little. This could be related to HT leads or similar. I have not looked at the rotor arm in ages. I think I’ll have look at the ignition system at some point in an effort to stop that from happening. I went out for a spin to the tip and then came a random route home partly due to crash on my route home. Here is a picture of the queue of traffic that I turned back from joining.
I had accidentally not put the steering wheel on dead straight when the wheels are pointed directly ahead, it was about one spline out, so I turned it the other day one spline. Typically I couldn’t tell which way it needed to go so since I thought I could remember I just did it that way. It was the wrong way, so last night I turned it back 2 splines.
As promised here is a video of the window sliding. I got this stuff for Christmas, a gift from my wife. This is where it comes from: https://clubshop.thelandroverclub.co.uk/window-channel-14-c.asp
I finished installing the new plastic window runner stuff. Wound up using white sticks like sh*t stuff as apparently Screwfix doesn’t sell black stuff and I couldn’t be bothered to look further. I will do a video of the window running, as the windows had become very hard to move back and forth, unfortunately I didn’t get a video of the before opening of the windows.
I began to install the window runner stuff that Hannah got me for Christmas last night. I managed to get the old stuff out. Had to drill some screws out and others required the use of a hammer and chisel. I made up the top and bottom runners for the drivers side. Then decided that I needed black adhesive for sticking in the bottom runner. So stopped at that point. The old bits ripped out. Try to ignore the Ugg boot on the wing being weter proofed.
