I have had some down time, after loosing my buddy, now i am back on it, I have decided to get on and sort this bloody oil leak, The oil filter housing has failed, so i managed to find a replacement unit,
 Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge the old one looking a right mess Click image to enlarge After looking at where things were, i ended up having to drop the oil out and change the filters. Due to where the bolts were located for this. removed and a good spray down with brake cleaner and carb cleaner Click image to enlarge A bit of a battle getting that out was it not! Click image to enlarge A battle getting the replacement back in too. Click image to enlarge I changed the filter in this, i think the old one had been over tightened, which  the threads, me and my dad had did a quick repair, which had failed on the old one.
But now its nice to have a clean engine bay on one side! I am not sure about tackling the starter motor job, as it seems to be throwing over fine now?? Also i revamped the rear anti roll bar, My dad was right about him suspecting it had seized, and which would explain why the driver side damper failed twice. Me and my dad had made a start on replacing the rear dampers, and i decided to replace everything with polybushes. I had left him in charge on removing the exhaust back box while i was at work, and he had removed the old units ready for me to jump on it after i finished work. As the 306s clutch was on the verge of going, ( well i thought) So the rear end of the defender is now sorted out. with bliestines ( spelling) new droplinks and polybushes. I have the front do to, which i may role out in the next few weeks, as i wanted to sort the leak out 1st. As i think the oil maybe causing the electrical problems.

The MOT tester said he knew who could sort that, when i can the wages.

While i am on a 4 day week i thought i will start and utilize the time off, after having a flick through some idea on peoples threads, I had a look at our LandRoverAnorak's 110 thread, and spotted the fender seal, so i thought i am doing that to this, paid a few quid for these, but i could get hold of them with out any bother oddly enough.
Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge a little bit of a tight fit here on the TD5, but a little bit of a play about and it was in. Click image to enlarge Driver side is no bother at all Click image to enlarge also these were the very last car gift one of my mates ever gave me, Sadly he died 3 months ago, These were for the rear speakers, but i thought id put them in the front. They are very thin sounding, compared to my pioneers, but again they were free and more powerful watt wise to what i had in. But the speaker fronts look nicer. ( my buddy though did have a collection of speakers, when we moved his stuff to his daughters  So god knows where he got these from But they are in anyway. ( i may move these to the rear as planned still )
Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Now i have had these rear mud speaker pods since i bought BeaTie, i did have some before, that one of the lads on here made an offer for them, when my 300 TDI was nicked. So i thought sod it these are going in as i am sick of looking at the box! Not as plug in play as they say like! Well if have a D with rear seats etc fitted! My mam decided to lend a hand here, Click image to enlarge I have water coming in there like, so i suspect the capping or the seal has gone. Click image to enlarge After my mam did a lot of trimming, sneaking up on getting it to fit. Click image to enlarge It wont need any screws in place yet as its that stiff of a fitting. The other side is to be done, but again i will have to disconnect the wiring from the metal cover on the drive side. Looks like there are some wires for rear speakers oddly enough, But not sure if they are at the front of the motor. I have wiring to run to the rear.

For the last couple of years the condition of bull bar has been bugging me, and my dad picking at it every bloody time, saying it needs fixing it need fixing. I had a chat with the MOT tester who is in the knock a little about body work, He looked at and said that the bull bar is beyond eco repair, and it would be a pain to repair. So i decided after getting the wages back up, to look for a replacement one, I cannot get one like i had, on my old TDI and my parents. The seller no longer produces them, so i must have been lucky there to get hold of one, then. So after a bit of a research a couple close examples have popped up. One with a bumper went for £500, which i was keen on, as it would have saved me getting hold of another bumper. Another 2 popped up, both sold, but the one i managed to get hold of, was cheaper and i have to say just as good a condition if not a little better.
I couldn't take many photos, as i was fighting the rain. It was on and off, so it was a sake of slacking bolts, then go in the washhouse, come back out and do a bit again. Where its proper rotten Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge the replacement one Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge This one weighs a little bit more than my old one, its in better nick but could do with a paint, I had to install it, as would not have heard the last of it, from my dad. The front bumper is toast like so i will be getting a replacement one. But i need to get the 306 sorted out, wheels wise. which i am looking at £400 onwards. New tyres and wheels sorted for it, plus i am looking at another repair.
