The list of things to do....
The list of things to do....
we all know the score - never in its 50 odd year history has anyone had a landrover that has been fault free, or needed a few odd jobs doing to get it A1 perfect.
So nows your chance to make that all important list of jobs that "you'll get round to eventually" on your landy!
then read back on the list and *#*#*#*# at your stupid vehicle.
Down pipe to be changed with a none CAT version (sat in garage)
P gasket leaking slightly
front prop sliding joint a bit loose (and UJs once a year without fail
)
rear stub axle has pitting on the hub seal face, needs some liquid metal skimming on or replacing to stop hub seal failure every few K miles.
rear seat needs fitting so wife and baby can both have somewhere to sit.
rear wiper motor needs replacing (never use it which is why it probably died)
front diff pinion oil seal leaking, could be a blocked breather
build a new bumper to fit around winch mount, preferably one that aint made of tinfoil like LR standard bumpers.
refit winch
replace plastic light surround on wing, after hitting a tree.
replace a wheel arch spat - see above tree (sat in garage)
thats all for now. Luckily none are major, just getting round to it thats the problem and having the odd oil spot on the drive.........
what needs doing to yours?

Well at least you'll be ok with more than 8mm of tread depth by the time you have fitted that lot!
List of things to do
I ended up missing Great Ayton trying to reduce my 'to do' list on the Series 3,
Replace all 4 springs & shocks.
Replace O/S free wheel hub
Service brakes Replace rear brake shoes.
Grease props & check oil levels all round.
Clean & Paint axles.
Replace clutch flexi hose.
As if all that wasn't enough, while I was there I found there was more to do....
Replace O/S/F hub seal.
Replace rear wheel cylinders,
Replace rear brake flexi pipe & T piece.
And I still have to;
Replace the front indicators & sidelights.
Fit new wipers blades.
Clean out the handbrake drum.
Sort out my parts store/scrap heap (depends on your point of view).
Remove the old tyres from the LWB rims.
Thats it for now, unless theres something I've forgotten

New passenger and safari door (need to purchase)
New set of barrel locks (see above doors - came with vehicle)
Off-road wheels and tyres to fit
New seats to fit
