Dropped off Myrtle for pre-shipping inspection in Atlanta for her shipment back to her motherland.

That looks good!
What bumpers and sliders are those?

 

Thanks!
The bumpers are Safari Gard but I don’t know what brand the rock sliders are. They were on there from the previous owner.

 

Finally picked up my Disco II, got it smog tested and titled. Now on to crawling around and catching it up on maintenance.

 

Little things

Took my right headlight out removed all the access covers and put it in the back of the disco, nice hot day, to get rid of the moisture inside.

Replaced my steering stabilizer with a terrafirma unit




Terrafirma on the left Landrover made in Spain on the right

Working on the fender flares





Before bedliner





After Bedliner - not perfect but at least it is all black. Looks better after a night further drying

 

Changed trans fluid/filter and both axles got new fluid in the 01.

Added a quart of oil and topped off anti-freeze on the 03.

Brian.

 

 

I looked at MagPie

 

 

I fixed the washer pumps for the windshield wipers. Easy job. New units are cheap and just pop in, no screws or bolts. Friction fit. The pumps and fluid reservoir are hidden behind 1 panel that sits in front of the driver side left front tire. Removed 2 nuts and 1 philipps screw to pop that panel loose for easy access to the reservoir+pumps.

I had to make 2 new elbows to connect the pumps to the wiper hoses, though. The old black rubber elbows had gotten old and loose, so when I got fluid pumping they popped off.

I used a new black master cylinder bleed hose and cut into 2 short sections. Each section bent properly so that it made the 90 degree bend, and the fit was *tight* plus I duct taped them on to add a bit of support.


The real surprise was that the washer fluid reservoir appeared full at first, yet there was no fluid coming out of the reservoir when I removed the first washer pump.

Here's the bizarre part, there was a screen filter in the filler neck of the reservoir. It was full.

...but no water was getting through the screen. Removing that screen showed a completely empty filler neck and washer reservoir.

So I filled it. Problem solved. Oh, and I removed a yellow sponge strip that was dropped down in the filler neck.

Now the front and rear washers pump fluid as if new!
