I know, yet again postings have been non existent. I have good reason, mainly the fact that my landy has given us a dreadful week with all sorts of weird and truly bizarre goings on.
Landy’s have their own language and can be extremely frustrating. The gearbox is in fact OK but the clutch wasn’t and the spiggott bush was broken into little pieces. Simple course of action you would think, new clutch and new copper ring, great!
Ah,this is a landrover, things fall off daily, repair themselves overnight and sometimes just disappear altogether. We had a terrible week really, the gearbox took 9 hours to get bolted in and the transfer box took 4 hours.
The car is still on the ramps, a few tweaks yet before she is roadworthy but my not so trusty stead will be back.
My poor father spent his whole week under my landy but I did reward him with a continous supply of chocolate puddings in various disguises. Triple chocolate ice-cream, belgian chocolate sponge, bananas and chocolate custard, chocolate tray bake and cream!
My waistline is now suffering but hey! I was on holiday and deserve it every now and then.
Sounds as if the Landy were alive!
