Title: Sweden
Post by: Hissy on July 29, 2007, 12:57:40: I'm off to Sweden next Sunday for the Landrover Club of Sweden 20th Anniversary Celebrations, with Dr Neil and Jas278.
Just getting the truck sorted.
Oils and filters, Tracking, Props Balanced :shock: all the usual stuff.
Cleaned inside and will wash later in the week.

Question is......... Do i wrap it in moth balls till next weekend or drive it incase something else breaks and i've got time to sort it :?: :?: :?:

Post by: Jim-Willy on July 29, 2007, 13:23:01: I used mine right up to doing my Scandinavia trip, as long as you have had her thoroughly serviced and had a good look around her it should be fine..... We drove mine 8+ hrs a day for 3 weeks including 2 days on swedish offroad tour and only blew one fuse!

or by putting this thread on youve cursed your car anyway so either you mothball it or drive it its going to breakdown most inconveniently :P

Post by: thermidorthelobster on August 01, 2007, 23:38:14: 2 days before I left for Africa, the 101 ate a diff filler nut and destroyed the diff pan in the process. Because it happened before I left, I was able to sort it in half an hour the next day with a new diff pan. Otherwise I'd have probably ended up gaffa taping up the big hole and hoping for the best...
