What I set out to achieve today:

Replace hand brake shoes and springs
Replace front brake pads
Replace NS damper turret
Replace front dampers
Replace reverse light switch

What I managed to achieve today:

Blood blister on left index finger
Bruise on right elbow
Find that I need a new hand brake expander
Replace reverse light switch (original fault still present!)
Broken 17mm spanner

Sometimes I wonder why a bother.   :roll:

All I had to do today was put up five pictures - done
Get my Daughter a bed - done
Repair an indoor areial - done

You shouldn't set to do so much in so little time. Replace the spanner with a decent make.

Like the man said....
Are they not guaranteed for life anyway? Free spanner time.
Will the expander not clean up? Mine was in a right state, left it soaking in diesel for half an hour wipe with a rag and a regrease-good as new.

I believe they do have a lifetime warranty.  I'm in York on Monday, so we'll see.

I'm hoping the expander will clean up, I've just seen the price of a new one!   :o

I haven't got it off yet.  The clevis pin on the rod is rock solid, and being a Land Rover there's no way of getting any brute force tools in to get it out.   :evil:

My job today after getting back from work was to adjust the rear brakes on the 110.

At which point discovered that 2 out of the 4 adjusters were knacked and the job couldn't be done :cry:  :cry:

Halfrauds tools are decent stuff. I will give them that. I have been impressed with the quality of the socket sets and spanners I have bought from them.

Well today I've fitted and balanced new tyres (on new rims), cleaned and adjusted the brakes, changed the oils, and been for a drive.  Now I need new UJ's in the front prop and probably (definitely, but I'm putting it off) a clutch.

No broken tools today - and even if i break anything I'll smile - I love my Snap-On tools - 20 years and no breakages except when I've been really stupid (36" breaker bar on 3/8 drive sockets).

All paid for cash up front.  Some bought from a deceased estate.  I guess there's about 15,000 quids of tools in my shed - maybe I should sell the tools and buy a better vehicle.  :lol:

This innocent looking hole full of gloop at Witworth took winch, 4 x Waffles, 2 x Spades & 1 Ground Anchor (Zuki) 3 helpers anf 45 mins to climb out of.

Many more got a lot more stuck though, day ended up as like winch challenge event.

Have fun, look forward to seeing the pictures.

Did alright this morning, me and the lad whipped out the pistons on the lightweight, ready for renewing the oil rings, although looking at them not sure whether they need them now. Still best weather today for a while to get it ready for later.

Hello Dave

I'm defo working Sunday, and there was suggestion today that I might be needed Saturday.

I saw Andy's new toy today.  Don't ask me what it is, but it's BIG and Russian Military.  I think he's planning on taking it down to the car park next weekend.
