Hurrah! Piccies!

Colin, the red one is simply a beaut compared to the green one. Bargain too methinks.

Hi nigelandjo, is a shiny one thats for sure, the camera was no good for the available light.
I am a recently joined member so will sort out the form ASAP.

Weather?
Really?
We've done 100 miles just driving for the sake of it!
Another 80 to and back from Ken's tommorow then out to Braintree for a party in the afternoon.

Yep, wait for the weather and we will really make use of it lol :lol:

Basically, if it ain't raining, it's roof down 8-)

Cheers Ken,
I whipped the front wheels off today for a scrub up.
Checked the pads and all that, grease nipples suggest they were recently used.

Also spray greased the gear linkages at the box end which has made a noticeable difference to the shift.
Looks like a driveshaft boot has let a bit of grease out but need to check when the car is in the air a bit better.

Also GT85'd a few tie rods in readiness for 4 wheel alignment.

Built up a nice list of odds and sods that we need to get, including dust caps!

The spray jets need new right angle connectors where they have been forced over too large connector they have split.
All easy stuff really and good excuse to play when not driving 8-)

Stunning really like the colour combination exterior and interior. I renewed the underbonnet right angle washer connectors on my 'F last week. I think they split because they aren't the best quality and OEM seems NLA. I replaced them with Land Rover products, required a little trimming of the hose, but a quick fix. On ebay as Windscreen washer jet adapter/elbow.

It will be interesting to compare the two when PG gets sorted (including the tracking) :D

Glad to have binned the chrome washer jets then Colin?
