removed the cover and it started right up. Pulled 2 stumps out of the ground and put the tarp back on... I should take it for a drive sometime soon. I miss driving it.

Default Disco 1 pre facelift

I've been hacking away at my 30 yo beast, mate saved the body for me, been replacing all sorts, door lock springs dam things, we just today got the oil coolers sorted, bro the tranny fluid was almost black, and it still went well.
196000kms, mite of got wound back, never know.
Home run now, all new fluids except anti freeze thats mint, fisholine?, doors back together, glass in, light wires out roof, wire lights n gauges n solar setup, interior in, then I'll tie a fallen tree to it and wreck the olds paddock just to wind my mother up, yea I'm a khant, but thats another story, we haven't tried to make it perfect just tidy enough to make warrents easier, decent buff I think she'll be mint, can get some photos, but I'm not gd at technology, mite take awhile haha another d1 saved

Had my a/c repaired and Indy is nice and cool again. A local shop utilized the existing fittings and replaced the rubber hose section.

Replaced driver side door lock actuator. Front to rear adjustment of the unit was key to getting it to fully unlock the door.

Found out why my sunroofs were not working. Pulled the window ECU and found bad solder joints where that connector is pinned to the circuit board.

I ended up getting a spare ECU so I could just slide the non-working one out and put the working one in, then repair the broken one and set it aside for next time.
I also got a USB microscope to inspect the solder joints. Much easier on these old eyes...
