Aibast Posted May 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Got to do the front to. Not a lot of pics, as I was outside and started to rain. Didn't want my phone to get water and oil damage. Changed the old cracked and rusted oilsump to new used one. Also new heavyy duty springs and shocks to with poly pushes. And got trough the annual inspection with good results. Everything was OK for the car to be safe and used on the road. Liftoff The old stuff on the car. Next day,, this is how the car sits now. Nice high and tight. No more excess suspention play. New stuff on. Just front panhard rod needs new poly pushes (I have these also waiting for install). Quote Link to comment
Aibast Posted June 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Well, a bit off topic, but one old guy in here, offered me his old Datsun 720 or D21 don't know what it is, but for a real good price with 3.0 diesel engine. Got to go and take a look :) Quote Link to comment
Aibast Posted June 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Update - the truck is Nissan Pickup (1987 D21? ) It is still solid and usable. Quote Link to comment
Aibast Posted October 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Managed to get all my cars on one picture. Renault Master is a new addition. Wanted something with more space. It's a 9 seater minibus with 2.8L turbo diesel. Uses less fuel than my 4x4. The Land Rover will be on sale soon. Just need to fix some minor problems. Like leaking exhaust sticky handbrake and leaking front crank seal. Behing the 4x4 is a Peuget Boxer van also 2.8L turbo diesel. 1 Quote Link to comment
Aibast Posted November 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 well, my van sprung a coolant leak. Had to tear it down a bit to check what is wrong. First removed the bumper. Broke all the bolts that held it in place. They where all rusted up real bad. Next of with everything else that was stuck on the front part holdin in the radiator and the intercooler. and found the cause of the leak. Ordered some new parts and this is how it now sits, faceless "frog eater" Quote Link to comment

Aibast Posted November 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Why is it that every time a buy a car, they start to have strange issues. Today vans heater fan failed on me. Just another thing to fix. Quote Link to comment
Aibast Posted November 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Heater fan fixed. Speed swich had a bad connector. A little cleanup of pins and it works again. Quote Link to comment
Aibast Posted December 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 The van failed on me again, this time the fuel filter heater element leaked air in the fuellines and the pump went empty, so no start. It took me a whole week to find out what caused the airleak. But it had a good side to it. I got to drive my Disco in 30cm of sluchy snow = fun fun and more fun, drifting around.

Aibast Posted December 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Vans running again. having more snow in here every day. It makes everything take longer, forklift gets stuck all the time and so on. PS. Need to start working on my oldtimer, just 2 months to this years winter rally Quote Link to comment
Aibast Posted December 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Went for a little drive in my Disco. First to my summerhouse (100km or 1h drive). What I found was that the old oak tree had loosed a limb and it just missed the house when falling down. On a good side - all my bees are a live and well. Only 3 more months to go for them to get forraging again. Then went to my small pach of land to get a spruce for "xmas". The road wasn't that bad, a little mud and a lot of water. Didn't risk the water as I have no winch on the Disco. Been stuck in dry times there and didn't want t get stuch when wet and cold. So parked the car on solid ground and hiked from there. https://youtu.be/mZuBGC8Nd1M Quote Link to comment
Aibast Posted January 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 well, my vans muffler broke today. Some A hole had some time welded in a new cat and damn I know I can't weld but damn these where some bad welds. As I had nothing else to support the thing under the car I used one of the cargo straps I had in the van. 1 Quote Link to comment
Aibast Posted January 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 exhaust is now fixed.. This is why it failed. Damn there are some not so smart people around The exhaust was velded together by a clamp. That was it nothing else. I cut that off and velded on a new connection and properly clamped that thing together again. Works fine now. Quote Link to comment
Aibast Posted January 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 So no more Land Rover for me. Changed it to a Volvo 740 "van" Quote Link to comment
