Who is doing what maintenance today?

[Towpack]

LC went through the MOT with a breeze on Sat so treated it (and myself) to a refurb/repad of the driver's seat. Leather is fine, just the usual problem of collapsing side bolster cushion and seat pad due to either the age/mileage of the vehicle or my, not inconsiderable, ever increasing bulk. Probably the former

Belawski's on Beverley St. Very pleased with the outcome, feels just like it did when I got the car.

 

[AndycruiserguyLomas]

Yep, thats the place. They put me a new headlining in a high roof 60. Very good job as well asa doing the same job as you had done.

Finally fitted Longfield Lifetime Wiper seals that I've had kicking around for ages.
Will be interested to see how they last with our UK less than perfectly smooth Knuckle balls.

I had tried to fix up the pitting when did the axle rebuild but still not super smooth
Only time will tell.

Dave.

I reattached my mud flaps to the nearside of the 80 after ripping them off getting stuck in a bog at the weekend. I also replaced my drivers door check strap.

Had new windscreen fitted in the Hundy. After living with a couple of chips at eve level in front of me since I bought I have transformed the experience of driving it.

Spent some of this morning finishing the tailgate swaps. I used the tailgate of the spares truck as it was virtually brand new with a new wiper motor installed, changed the glass to an unscratched one

The start
and had both repainted to smarten up the rear end. Having changed the tailgates last weekend I finished them off today.

the finish


now that looks better. next the quarter bumpers and towbar will receive attention.

Smart set of wheels there Pete. What make are they? I'm considering a set of something suitable for the 80...

Is it best to replace the tailgate instead of trying to fix the rust, notice a few bubbles around the bottom of the window???!

Started my drawer build, not a straight line or right angle in it!!!
Wood is just resting against each other now, need to think about fridge slide and 2 drawers on the left.

Had a tyre fail on the 80, major wheel wobble at speed so stopped quickly. Inner side wall had a bulge so had to chuck the spare on. Gutted as had 11 mm tread on it one of the 33's and luckily didn't blow out.

 

[clivehorridge]

Unusual for the inner wall to give problems Gary, is it worth considering claiming defect?

not sure Chris has a claims department
It does go laning with the 33's Clive so could've caught it at some point. Didn't notice anything on mot other day. One of those things.

 

[Chris]

One of the ones you had from me Gary? That's a shame. What can I say? really sorry - I guess that's tyres for you. When I got them, I noticed sort of regular ripples in the side wall of all of them. I contacted the seller who forwarded my mail to Cooper. They came back quickly and and said this was prefectly normal. It was where the belts or whatever where joined in the sidewall. I sent them pictures. There were very regular small bulges I guess. They were very clear in their response.

But it sounds like you had something quite serious there. I don't have a claims dept not, but I'll get you a beer in at Lincomb! They stopped making that size or at least stopped selling it in the UK. i have never read anything bad about them

 

[Gary820]

It's not a problem Chris no apology needed, tyres are tyres and they do see the rough stuff after all. I don't run the 35's very often so these get most of the work on and off road. Only takes a rock to push it the wrong way. I've got a spare in the garage.

Tbh if it was one of my bfgs it'd be annoying.

Oh and beer no good I'm t total (that's me banned from the club lol)
