[Sandy M.]

Well I've been a bit busy at work, change of Departments, with a whole pile of studying to do as well. Just had a drive through to Embra and collected my nice new shiny TruckAir compressor from graemeelliott [Top bloke - and all sale proceeds going to McMillan charity], and had a wee blether with some of the other SORC gang, discussing this weekends spanner party.
Bunch of mates getting together for a weekend of fun & hilarity doing a chassis & bulkhead swap / tea party.

Natuarally I would offer to help but I am nightshift this weekend, but I may still pop over and offer some kind words of encouragement [ round about tea & cake time!!]

They're not STILL trying to make you read the Highway Code are they Sandy :D ;)

[Backs4more]

And....well..loads going on..lol

[graemeelliott]

Cheers Sandy

Teammud are hovering just below the £5000 mark, someone has agreed to take one of the holidays tho so when we get payment for that we're well over 5k.

Scuba getting everyone else to build his 110 then? Might nip out for a bit of spectating!

[Sandy M.]

No fear, they gave up on that years ago :D . Now trying to get to grips with CAD packages, quadratic equations & trigonometry :eek: :confuseda :banghead2

Top plan! Bring some biccies and a couple of Buffs, then extol the virtues of how Oil, Dirt, Paint & Burn proof they are :rolleyes: , then explain to Scuba & Bob how warm they are as well, as they crawl around in the cool Embra afternoon air, chasing bolts around the garage floor :D :D

Having a look at a cottage down your way at the weekend..Fettercairn...or a farmhouse near Potach..so just on the other side of Cairn 0 mount..which might be dangerous as I might be asking for advice on my chassis swap..lol

[Hubber]

So whats happening today then....??????

[Huey]

Hubber I've been busy with my axle swap, for 2 Saturdays and my other days seem taken up with making sure England has high quality Scottish tatties for there table's (its a dirty job but an important one I think you'll agree;) )
I'll post pics next weekend of the axles so far.

[Fish13]

Um,......I'm moving to New Zealand on Tuesday?

And Kev is swapping a Series III chassis for me while I'm away!

[Backs4more]

I'll post pics next weekend of the axles so far.

Can you please post pictures of the Tatties??..I might know one or two of them and it would be nice to have a photo to remember them by ;)

[kbraidwood]

Shocking....

[kbraidwood]

[Hubber]

Not just normal, but natural:eek:

[Hubber]

Seems like yesterday was a quiet day in Scotland. I wonder if we can better it today.

[charliedenny]

I have been a naughty boy and got myself suspended (see just been suspended thread)

[kbraidwood]

Im busy working on a new website for the landy owners of the North of scotland as part of my Landies in the haar theme. Not detracting in any way from the forum we have here, but a more local place for the peeps of the north to check in and help organise local events etc with the intention to help out local charities etc with any funds that we can raise locally.

all suggestions welcome.............more to follow when i launch the new site in the near future.

Now why would you want a separate forum:( after all you can do all that you want in this section for all the northern boys and girls;)

After all that's what the Scotland section is for :D

Aww Hubber, i didnt plan on starting a new forum, and all information will be posted on and around the forum as per usual, but i think that a new site for the north east dudes might be a way to better organise and plan events locally for the future. If in some way it can also bring benefit to local charities then i think it can only be a good thing.

[Sandy M.]

Well yesterday I spent most of the day in a sort of post night-shift haze. crawling over and around the Ninety giving it a 6 monthly service.

This morning I took the old girl in for the MOT, and it passed :D

anyway you keep safe out there, and bring some duty free king edwards home;)

[charliedenny]

morning

update on the "exam" I passed the instructors exam 29 out of thirty on the theory test and 65% on the hazard perception
the instructors exam was a bit of a sh*t questions like How do you be nice to passengers!!":D

[Hubber]

Well done bud, thats a good start to whats happening in scotland today.
Maybe even hard to beat;)

[Backs4more]

Well done Charlie!!!

Hazard perception..65%...:rolleyes: ..did you miss the granny with the out of date bus pass and the drunk trying to get out the emergency exit?..lol

I presume you had to sit infront of a screen and press the button when a "hazard" appeared??

[charliedenny]

yep and the screen is only a forward view no peripheral vision at all!!
most drivers get around the same!

[Backs4more]

When I sat my exam the examiner said I failed :eek: he explained I hit the button far too much and was over cautious! I asked him to run through it again and sit with me and explain what I was doing wrong.

First one was I saw a manhole cover on a bend, so I hit the button. His response was, "What are you doing???" I said the manhole cover was a hazard..his reply.."Hardly!" I then asked if he had ever had to ride a motorcycle over a wet manhole cover, or one that was slightly raised or one that was sunk into the road....this went on for lots of other hazards I saw and he didnt...:rolleyes:

In the end I got 70 something percent with a lot of arguing..:D :D

As you say, no side or rear vision, the image is pretty ropey and the system is designed for car drivers so a hazard to a bike or large vehicle like a bus or HGV (parked cars resticting width etc) may not be picked up as a hazard by the system.

[charliedenny]

a lot of car drivers don't react to hazards until they are upon them
I will be braking while the car is still putting on his/her makeup playing with the radio etc!!:eek:

[Backs4more]

That sounds like bus driver I had a few weeks back..lol!!

I'll wave at you as you drive past my new gaff! :D

[charliedenny]

where is that now?

[Backs4more]

Not far from the Potach bridge, up the hill between there and Bridge of Canny. :)

[charliedenny]

sluie woods then!

[Backs4more]

Shhhhhhhhhh!!...lol...but yeah! Pop in by for a cuppa if you want..but not until April or you will be having tea with a heap of Polish builders and plumbers..lol

I have had a few scares with wet manholes over the years, so yes, i think you were right to be cautious.

[Hubber]

Now surely something is happening north of the border this weekend:eek:

[roo]

Rather than start a new thread i thought id post here and say hello to the locals. :) As per my introduction post my names andrew and i've recently bought a RRC LSE 'soft dash' after having a drive in my brothers P38 down in Peterborough. I bought her in Grantham and had a very nice drive back to Aberdeen, giving me plenty of time to plan the jobs needing attention!

[Newsreader]

Hello Andrew :bigwave:

ANother flippin' Aberdonian eh ... :D

Nice to see you have found us Roo. You dont have to be mad to be in here, but it does help:eek:

[roo]

Thanks for the welcomes. :)
Firstly, please excuse my novice-ness on 4x4ing!
Hmm, off-roading. :D The idea appeals but the zero experience on my part restricts me somewhat. I need my vehicle to be nice and clean for my work through the week. is it possible to do both? For the time being, i'm concentrating on fixing all those jobs that never seem to get done. once its up to scratch i'd certainly like to give it a go. nothing too demanding though!

[iva-dirty1]

Nortrak at inverbervie will be ideal for you as plenty of places for a beginner and not to demanding or damaging!!!

Even if you just want to pop in and have a word with steve, as he is a most accomadating chap and probably some of us will be there for a chat and a bit of a social banter:D

Regards
Marc

[roo]

Huey has taken his P38 Rangie around bits of it on standard road tyres...no damage, no problems and a jet wash sorts it out afterwards!! :)

Seen brand new Disco 3's, newsih Rangies, Rangie Sports and Freelanders do the lower course..again, no problem. Your rangie will probably get to the upper section too if you stick to the main tracks, nothing too demanding really...unless you want it to be :)

See if one of the lads will take you round in a Landy first to let you see. I would, but my two are being repaired just now (nowt to do with Nortrak I might add..lol)

That sounds quite reassuring. :) I guess i wouldn't be too bothered about getting dirty, its the potential for damage. A ride round in a Landy would be ideal although reckon if i got there i'd end up going round in the Rangie!

[Backs4more]

Roo,
My first trip there was with a 110 station wagon. I was a bit worried about taking it round but steve sat with me and talked me round the course. After an hour he left me too it.

I was hooked. I ordered mud terrain tyres the following week...went to pick them up but came back not only with tyres, but a 90 as well, purely for offroading.

Be warned, its addictive..lol

Hah...........thats so totally untrue, me and my faithful side kick Marc AKA Iva Dirty one, were out in the garage today reconstructing my rear diff. Not reccomeneded for the average home diyer i can tell you, but now accomplished successfully or so it seems for the moment. Feeling quite chuffed about this one. Diff is now noise free and the clunk taking up the drive is reduced to a fraction of what it was.

As for the prince of darkness, well he will have to wait for some daylight!!!!

SLeeping, chance would be a fine thing ... :D Just worked out, I spent 8 hours behind the wheel of the landie today :yay: with the trailer in tow ... Now that's a good way to spend a Saturday.

Did a wee tour of the central belt dropping off bits and pieces ... low point was finding J1 of the M9 closed trying to get to Kirknewton. Tried my best to follow the diversion signs but ended up on a sort of mystery tour of Edinburgh, twas only when I saw signs for Berwick on Tweed I thought maybe I had joined in someone else's diversion by mistake ... :D

And isn't it funny how, once your fuel gauge goes into the red, all the garages just seem to vanish into thin air ... :rolleyes:

[kbraidwood]

Busy day for me today too............. Banished Lucas the prince of darkness back to purgatory, or in other words fixed me lights!!.........traced the fault to the fusible link on the osf inner wing just back from the battery, turns out that landrover in their wisdom wrapped that part of the wiring loom in a cloth sheath to soak up the water and corrode the connection for the the main instrument and lighting feed.........twats!!!. Never mind all srted now with a block connector and re sheathed in half a rool of insulation tape. dont think ill have to fix that one again.

Next.....................lol

Back to reality tomorrow. :rolleyes:

[Huey]

That was a foul drive up the M74, rain more rain thrown in some wind once we rounded Perth, Road works at Dunblane hold ups! When you see two cars in separate scrapes from aqua planing and the world is throwing everything at the car I'd be in nothing else than the Range Rover its a cocoon with 225bhp. Thankyou LR.

[roo]

I did the Lockerbie-Aberdeen drive several times whilst I was doing the move north and its not a particularly nice run at the best of times. Hardly any motorway either and too many gatso's! Glad you made it back ok.

[Sandy M.]

So what wonderful plans are happening this weekend;)

Well Mrs M and I "emigrated" to Sheffield early on Saturday morning to look at a car that was for sale, didn't buy it, drove up to York and met up with some old friends, had a slap up meal washed down with some warm beer ;) ;) and slept it off in a posh hotel. Woke up this morning had a long leisurely walk around the centre of York, light lunch, and then drove home, getting back just in time for Tea, and the Mother in law returning the dog.

Now having me cocoa and about to retire :) .

[Backs4more]

I spent most of the weekend phoning around looking for a good Disco or Rangie for my commute into town. Wanting something comfy and reliable...maybe I should be looking at a Toyota....lol..

Also starting to make a list of things I need for my chassis swap...arrrghhh

[kbraidwood]

Took the disco to Nortrak and had the best day out in ages, but unfortunately almost ripped the back axle out of it. Tore the mounting off the axle for both the tie bar and the shock mount at the drivers side, and burst the nsr anti roll bar link too. Needless to say it was a call to the AA to get home in the pouring rain!!!!. Guess ill be changing the axle casing out tommorow!!!..........sod it........should have bought a zuke.......:D:D:D...not!!


Now wheres Calum with the damned pics?????? just to show you all what you missed.

Well Mrs M and I "emigrated" to Sheffield early on Saturday morning to look at a car that was for sale, didn't buy it, drove up to York and met up with some old friends, had a slap up meal washed down with some warm beer ;) ;) and slept it off in a posh hotel. Woke up this morning had a long leisurely walk around the centre of York, light lunch, and then drove home, getting back just in time for Tea, and the Mother in law returning the dog.

Now having me cocoa and about to retire :) .

Nice wee trip for you;) pity about the car.

[Hubber]

Took the disco to Nortrak and had the best day out in ages, but unfortunately almost ripped the back axle out of it. Tore the mounting off the axle for both the tie bar and the shock mount at the drivers side, and burst the nsr anti roll bar link too. Needless to say it was a call to the AA to get home in the pouring rain!!!!. Guess ill be changing the axle casing out tommorow!!!..........sod it........should have bought a zuke.......:D:D:D...not!!


Now wheres Calum with the damned pics?????? just to show you all what you missed.

[rod at aberdeen]

My replacement engine arrives today.

Will start removing the old one.

Rod :D

[Backs4more]

Whn i get home I will be servicing my bike for tomorrow. Never done tappits in the dark..could be fun..lol

[roo]

Most of my day was spent driving today :) although I put some petrol in it today (the first time its been over the half) and theres now a strong smell of petrol in the car so thats my weekend planned already! Bloody MRM...

[iva-dirty1]

Did you buy your motor from mrm landrover???

Regards
marc:)

[roo]

Yes, theres a thread on MRM somewhere on here... thats all i'm saying!

[hodghog]

im busy nursing the truck gear box again until it goes in for service it looks like that lt85 box is going to need another set of bearings. thats 2 lots in 30k miles

[Sandy M.]

Spent most of the day 'phoning round certain High Street retailers chasing up 3-pce suites, and fireplaces. I'm sorely tempted to go buy a tent and live like a gipsy, must be easier than all this modern living/makeover malarkey. Cannot understand why La Smillie and the like can do a TV show in two days where they transform some dishevelled hovel into a palace and never break sweat :rolleyes: . Must be a trick somewhere, we ordered the suite in NOVEMBER, and the chuffin' fireplace takes 4 weeks to get from Hillington to Carluke!!!

On a happier note, I am heading to the local machine shop tomorrow to try for the 4th time to try and get my new alloy winch fairlead made up. I needed a custom made one for my Aeroparts winch, and so took careful measurements, made a scale drawing and went to said engineer, we agreed a price for parts and labour, which would be reduced by £5.00 :) if I went and collected the material mesel, thereby saving the engineer from going specially to collect it. £20.00 worth of shiny alloy bar later I return, and hand it to him, agree to call back in 3 days when he has done the job.
Call back 4 days later to find him frantically skimming down another piece of bar - turns out he goofed on his CNC holes and practically cut my bar in half :eek: so has to cut up another piece of stock, and start again.

I return 4 days later to find that again he has 'ukked up on the CNC holes and this time cut a nice slot in the middle, and drilled four nice mounting holes in each corner, however when he set the machine to counterbore these holes, he forgot the command to tell it to lift the cutter out the job between holes - result an interesting gouge between 2 holes on one end of the bar.

Another 2 day pass while the bar goes to local Tig wizard to have the gouge filled in and the holes re-machined :( .

Finally get the shiny new bar home and place it aginst the winch to find that he has goofed again - this time taking my measurement for the overall length of the slot as the distance between centres of the stroke for the circular cutter - result one carefully machined and polished slot 22mm too chuffin' wide :o

Reckon I may just go to the workshop tomorrow and deposit said bar somewhere the sun doesn't shine :eek: .

[iva-dirty1]

Roo they dont get a good mention on other forums either:eek:

Regards
Marc:)

[Hubber]

So here we are again at Friday:) so who is going off road this weekend or doing anything of interest.
Me, i'm working tomorrow and going skiing with the bairns on Sunday;) but still not getting my shiny RR dirty:eek:

[roo]

Roo they dont get a good mention on other forums either:eek:

Regards
Marc:)

I haven't the courage to go searching elsewhere! My V5 turned up yesterday so at least it now officially mine. My experience with MRM could have easily put me off the RR, I'm just glad most of the faults so far have been easily fixed by my brother and/or me and nothing major has (so far) came to light although the fuel smell has me slightly worried...

Sandy M: If you get stuck with getting your part machined, I may be able to help you out.

More mundane work today with hopefully a trip out to Portlethan in the RR :) , the plasterers just been for a quote on the kitchen (looking forward to the estimate!) and the weekend will be more DIY and prepping my old car so its ready for sale.

[iva-dirty1]

Roo I know of a plastic fuel tank going if you are interested for a RR.

Regards
Marc:)

[roo]

Could be interested. I need to find whats wrong with mine first though. Are the tanks usually steel then? Hopefully its just a failed seal or something like that but knowing MRM it will be a rotten tank!

[Sandy M.]

Probably, but hopefully not, the fuel pipes are rotten, where they enter the tank. Replacement pipes are not available AFAIK - you have to buy a complete pump unit :( . Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks for the offer of the engineering, but I will persevere with the company - they have done good work in the past, and I hope they will see the error of their ways, however 3 x £20.00 worth of bar to get one good job, may be stretching their patience.

[roo]

Crossing my fingers too then! I'll find out tomorrow...

Just had my kitchen re-plaster quote through :eek: I'm screwed because the kitchens being fitted on the 26th March and they knew this, hence the high quote. Therefore, does anyone know of any good plasterers or can anyone plaster themselves?! It would need to be before the 26th march and there would be copious ammounts of coffee/tea/biscuits available along with some cash of course! Help!

[DavH90TDi]

Off to see Scotland v's Ireland at Murrayfield tomorrow. Followed of course by plenty beers in various Edinburgh hostelries :D .

Not much planned for Sunday. I am making a curry for Sunday's dinner.

[charliedenny]

got to drive a flipng bus all weekend 7 till 7 tomorrow and 1230 till 1130 (ish):rolleyes: sunday I hate working sundays!

[roo]

Crisis averted! Managed to find a plasterer and got a good quote. 2/3rds cheaper than the first!
Working tomorrow but only for the morning hopefully. :)

[Stumpy Doofleer]

Going for a play in the mud at Drumclog on Sunday:D.

[Backs4more]

Good weekend all round me thinks ;)

Sunday I was away fishing in the most stunning Royal Deeside scenery you could imagine :)

Saturday, I was given a G plate RRC :) Not sure what to do with it yet, but the short list is either run her as an offroader or break her for spares.

[Huey]

So we'll be back to Tarkie soon Rod, hopefuly with Mog-Rover as well for some testing, did you notice what kind of clearence there was in the sump?

[rod at aberdeen]

Hi mate.

A trip to Tarkie sounds like a plan. Im am just hoping the SD1 is a winner just a little luck with her and we should be cool. I must say it was not as simple as I had hoped. The bellhousing bolts were just a cow to get at anyway she is in. I didnt take sump off as yet, mine is very bent but its not leaking so just want to get her running before spending anymore time on other bits. I will take note when I remove the old one mate. Other thing is old engine is still sitting beside the Disco feel free to have look remove the sump whatever you need.

Also thanks to all who have helped over the last couple of days it would have been difficult with out it.

Rod

[roo]

Went to Town & County Land Rover yesterday to pick up the paint touch-up stick i'd ordered. Whilst I was there I asked if they could check if there were any recalls for the RRC. Turns out mine had a fuel tank recall years ago and its yet to be done. Its booked in for a look over next wednesday and then they'll advise from there. Would the recall still be a free fix after all this time?
Window lift ECU turned up today too so thats another job off the list. :)

[Hubber]

My 2005 RR is still in the shop waiting on a new fuel pump. thay have had it since friday and i found out this morning that it had not even been inside the workshop. they called me this afternoon to tell me it needed a fuel pump which they needed to order:eek: yet landrover assist told them on friday, that it needed a new fuel pump:rolleyes:
Kinda getting fed up, and the replacement car is a brand new xj6 which i just hate:(

[rod at aberdeen]

He He

Yeah thats us we just moan at each other till the job is done but its all done in great spirits we got a good team going up here.
Engine did go for a while today. Will be finishing it tommorow. Had to change the carbs round. They were floading petrol through them so that put us back a little today.

Hope you get your fual pump sorted Hubber.

Rod

[Sandy M.]

Today was mainly spent whining like an inured puppy and grovelling to SWMBO, alas to no avail, she has refused permission to expand the fleet :( . Next call was to the machine shop to check on the progress of my hawse fairlead -it was very shiny, but still too much like a chunk of stock alloy bar - the chap reckons that he should start on the Mk4 version tomorrow and I should get it on Thursday morning :) .

Next call was to drop off the starter motor for the racer, with the local sparky chaps. The starter started stopping last week while checking the car over, and with the next safari only 12 days away, I did not fancy the prospect of an unreliable starter to compromise the days fun [plus ye cannae easily push start an Auto]

[Huey]

I'm going to Inch tomorrow with fertilizer then some return load home but as of yet who knows, as long as I pass a cup of coffee emporium and a bacon sandwich seller (hopefully in the same place) it will be a good day.

As a side issue, the quality of the softie makes a bacon roll.

[Hubber]

Still no sign of my truck:( and today i'm off to Edinburgh, so its another full day without my baby:(

[charliedenny]

at least your putting the miles on somebody Else's car!!!

All I have to look forward to is doing a 0745 till 1905 shift for the next 20 years no thanks!:D

[Huey]

Charlie, Stoney, and the area as close to Aberdoom are quite expensive and down here in Laurencekirk you get a 45 minute commute either way Dundee or Doom. So don't rule out property a little further south, I think there is a house for sale near Kinneff that needs renovation over looking the sea. I'll try and find out a little more.

[charliedenny]

Hi all.

My partner Annette and I will be at the Greenside Car Park (East side of Edinburgh) car boot sale tomorrow, Sunday 18th.
All proceeds we make are going to Macmillan Cancer Support. So if anyone is in Edinburgh tomorrow morning why not pop in to say hello and possibly pick up a bargain for a good cause. Opens to buyers at 09:00.

I know it's short notice but we just received the fund raising pack from Macmillan this morning.

Cheers.

I was laid low this past 24 hrs with some stupid flu like bug, but got cheered up by a call to say my truck is ready to be collected:) :) :) i'm not feeling up to the drive so trying to get them to bring it to me:rolleyes:

[Newsreader]

Good news about the truck Mark, and good luck with the manflu ;)

I was out in the snow with the doggies this morning, pics in camera section. I think it's going to start melting off soon, I can hear it starting to shift on the roof :eek: Just need to position Mrs H underneath it at the approrpiate moment ... :D :evilgrin:

[rod at aberdeen]

My Sandy now that is very cruel but hey I like your style man.

Mark is that not unbeliveable you have waited all that time for your motor and you got Flu nightmare.

And Roo I think you motor was in for a recall? was going to say if you need work done on it there are two very good independant garages in the area. I certainly would not hesitate in recomending them.

And well my day is decorating and just getting the little DIY jobs done that have been just waiting to be done.
Fit an electric fan in the car later, now got new seats and a snorkel to fit to.

Yes, recall day tomorrow. Its only in for a check though, to see whats needed. I'm not quite sure why they need to check really as they already know the recall hasn't been carried out. :confused:

Rest assured if it needs anything other than the recall components it will be getting done myself or by an independant (you cant beat a recommended independant IMO), not the main stealer!

[Hubber]

Well at least Roo has something to do today:)

Not too bad actually, apparently the faster you travel over the washboard sections, the smoother the ride. All in all we had a great day, and grateful thanks to all the Marshalls, setter uppers, and spectators who turned up to stand on top of a windswept bing, under a grey sky to let all the competitors have a bit of a larf.
