I've been rebuilding my Series 2A for quite some time now.
I've just the roof to paint and fit, the back door to fit and then wire up the interior light.
Today was going to be a breakthrough, I was going to start the engine for the first time in 12 years.
The battery was fully charged.
I filled the sump with oil, filled the tank with diesel and primed the fuel system.
I filled the radiator ..................... only to discover water leaking from the water pump.
I have to admit to spouting forth with much profanity.
I didn't know you could get so frustrated by water dripping.
New water pumps ordered so hopefully by the weekend............. Then again, it is a Landrover, isn't it?........
