Replaced the solenoid last night but could not get it to run, just coughed and stalled. Head scratching and investigating fuel system followed...in the dark in the yard, by head torch. Took me half an hour to spot I'd knocked the accelerator connecting rod off when removing the bonnet.

Doh.

Stripped the axle on the N/s front as that wheel is snatching on occasion, looks like for the first time in many years as every bolt was rotten. I expected to find a knackered CV joint or collapsed bearing but no, everything was fine, issue must be in the diff and I found it was a 10 spline disco one when I thought it was going to be a 24 spline like the rear.
Oh well a replacement 24 spline axle goes onto the ever growing list :)

 :) Finally after a hectic week got a chance to wash Manor Powis off the P38 , should have done it last Sunday as it was dried in .
     Then tackled my recurring overheating problem that I had thought I'd cured , hoses off at the bulk head and flushed every possible way
     whilst I changed all the head light bulbs , then re-assembled , took it for a long heavy labouring run , up the Breich Braes twice , and the
     temp gauge never went above the 11 o'clock position so sorted ( touch wood ) .Then changed the near and offside complete wing mirror
     assemblies , looked at the location and accessibility of the heater motor resistor on my car (Vectra ) not unfortunately a Land Rover , as
     we all know how easy it is to work on a Land Rover .  LOL  ;)   Duncan

Stripped out the sunroof from the 90 and reinstalled it on a bed of nice new sikaflex, after gluing the window shut on a bed of the same stuff. Filled the entire gap between the window and the surround with sikaflex for good measure. Hopefully that will stop the damn thing leaking. Fed up with having to drive about sitting on a plastic bag.

New temp sender fitted so we'll see how that performs when I give it a good run.

Also fitted a wiper park switch, finally have normal working wipers again  :) and also fitted some closed cell insulation to the front part of the roof and finally the roof lining, they bloody trim clips are a nightmare, keep breaking.
