I decided that I had seen areas of the chassis where the Waxoyl was either decidedly thin or the rust was showing through, so yesterday I thought I’d a wire brush and the Waxoyl to it. I left the tin in the sun yesterday so that it was good and runny to paint on. A half good job done, now I could do with taking a second look and doing some more.
A drop of water our carpet, I think the carpet is polypropylene, certainly not wool anyway.
I stripped down the hand brake assembly and just made everything run again. Took the prop spins apart and greased it all, put it all back together. refitted it all. Great. Then while I had the help of a friend, I did the valve clearances. While all of that was going on I had to remove the cover over the fuel tank, and found this growing: I scrapped all of the mud and plant off. Wax-oiled the chassis in that area and generally made it inhospitable to plant life. We took the land rover for a quick spin and noticed a vibration, couldn’t think what we might have done to cause this. Tonight it came to me that I had not paid any attention to what orientation I put the uj’s on the prop back together.. So that’s tomorrow’s job.
I went to the TV4x4 event at Oxley’s Shaw today. Had a great time, got rather muddy and got stuck twice.
I had snapped this padlock onto the rear loop for no reason. I do not have a key for it, so it was a pointless item. Today was the end of it. No good reason, just a little wanton destruction.
