Les Henson Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I finish on Friday - after doing the water pump on a 1.8 Hippo, and that's it until the day after Boxing Day. I'm off to Turner Engineering on Thursday to pick up a new complete 300TDi cylinder head and get the cam bearings fitted and line bored, so will be spending xmas in my inventing shed putting the engine back together. Gratuitous pictures of the re-bored block- Keeping my inventing shed heated to 60-odd deg is proving expensive - I don't want all that pig-iron to start rusting! So who else is sad enough to be working on their Land Rover over Xmas? Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Attryde Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I am hoping to escape to the freezing cold drive to work out how to mount the soon to be arriving toughbook on the dashboard, and sort out the CB install and about half a dozen other little jobs. I bet it rains the whole time . Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
