Project L200

Project L200

Well I changed the gearbox fluid and filter, this made no difference at all. So after a bit of googling and forum hunting (free plug for www.l200forum.com) I found a mitzi mechanic in Aberdeen that likes a homer. He traced the issue to a broken wire in the gearbox wiring loom and fixed it for a grand total of £40. BOOM!

So it's back on the road. But now the engine is surging, suction control valve is to blame for that, ordered one up and will get it changed on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Bloody hell! I'm not going to be able to miss you on the road... or hear you by the sounds of it :D

Nice to see it in it's natural habitat though :lol:


Yup I was right. Spotted on the roundabout connecting St Machar Drive and Great Northern Road earlier this evening
 
Yup, the finesse side of me was showing tonight.. setting up to start towing a wedding car about the region ;)
 
VHF dual band radio installed today, with the separation kit, it enabled me to mount the radio behind the rear seats and the fascia on the dash.



 
In other news, I have a tablet set up and ready to be dash mounted replacing the trip computer. It will give me all the trip info that I currently get from the vehicle, plus a lot more. It will also give me full sat navigation, and offroad GPS by using the OS app and downloaded maps. Bluetooth connectivity through my phone will allow me to tether to it and give me Internet as well.. I just need to get a power lead for it.
 
Saturdays wee job:


Sunday involved playing about with tyre pressures to see what this thing can really climb...




And a good scrub afterwards..

 
Acer iconia7 installed today following the 'how to' on the l200 forum just to wire up the charge wire to the ciggy lighter connections.



 


Big new boots on, and a sneaky pic at a sawmill in Dalkeith
 
Nice to see a 4x4 that actually gets muddy. I saw a white L200 this morning that looked like it had never been off road in it's life. Thank feck for sunglasses they way it was gleaming :eek: :cool:
 
It's not going to last for long... it needs washed today for Cotag duties up in Dufftown tomorrow.

Glad you liked the wee black bitch I had with me.. you seemed to like her.. :)
 
I miss having my own dog so yeah, love to see other peoples. Poor Genga and Suzanne barely got a hello at SICD as I was paying more attention to their dog :laugh:

Btw, nearly wrote that I'm a bit of a sucker for all things furry but thought it would a) make you explode and b) start all sorts of rumours. Although you'll probably do that anyway :lol:
 
As if there wasn't enough rumours from last time I was at yours, you were fresh out the shower when you answered the door...

Neighbours would have had a field day with that one haha
 
There were no rumours if I remember correctly as it was all true and once again the neighbours missed it. For a nosy bunch they sure are useless at spotting young men visiting me :lol:
 
Do you often have young men visiting you like?

Haha
