3 days for us ...
Should be collecting the landy tonight - late night planned. Mains hookup needs wiring, mp3 input for the stereo needs fixing, computer needs bolting down, battery box needs sealing, GPS needs testing, speedo needs fixing, odometer needs calibrating, and lots of little jobs.
Vinyls should be going on on Wednesday. Guess packing will be Wednesday, too.

Aaaarrrgh!

Hi there, Steve you didn't say anything about the boot floor No doubt that can wait until at least the 3rd week in September.
Yesterday APD, 4x4Bun and myself got together and had a trial packing of the car. We seemed to have a lot more room in the car so we must have forgotten a load of stuff. No doubt we will remember by the time we get to Dover
Andybloke, sounds like all your stuff is electronic, now when did a Landy need electronics? Oh! I forgot, TD5, RRS, Disco3 and some 300tdi.
No I think all my preps are complete. I have even postponed the fitting of the braided brake hoses. Not an ideal time to do it, a few days before the big off, no knowing what bag of worms we might unearth, broken brake pipes and the like. Is there going to be swaging tool and pipes on Tango 1
Best of luck to you all.

Well, being the technical one in the group I have now set up an online blog to track the exploits of Team TV4x4, internet hook up prevailing of course! The URL is: www.4x4bun.blogspot.com

Also, I must let everyone know I am now the proud owner of a 1998 300Tdi Discovery 50th Anniversary edition I am very happy with my new wheels and will be selling the Euro Jelly Mould (200 Vauxhall Astra) very shortly - if you know anyone who wants one PM me for details.

Finally - see you all in Calais!

Another thing for the list!

I need to get the results section setup on the website! oh well there goes lunchtime.....

Again subject entirely to the avalability of internet links....

wow sounds like we are not the only team with stuff left to do

we have got stickers going on on wednesday, have got a back door to sand, paint and swap for the rusty excuse for a door that is there, have to swap the oil in the hubs for grease, and pack and repack then re pack once more, im sure ive forgotton somthing , ahhh thats it im back at school now

Well, graphics are done (photo's to be uploaded, maybe tomorrow!) shelving mostly done, racking binned, roof rack floor done, been quite a good day really, only a few problems, but nothing that can't be sorted out with a bit of luck! let's see what tomorrow brings.

night night children...


:arrow:

we have had a good day too, one wheel sorted fingers crossed, new landy rally stickers are on the front, oh and a piece of advice to all on here check your wheel nuts before we go especially if you have had new tyres on as we had new wheels put on and the nuts was put on so tight we bent the spanner getting them off ended up at mr friendly garage man


Monstar

Hi there, what's all that oil on the drive then Kieran? I know Landies don't leak oil, they just mark their territory and when they stop you know then you must top them up again.
Now I am going to pi55 you off. We had a practice loading of the car yesterday, today I washed the car. Now normally it only gets a blast with the preasure washer after off roading, glass work, radiator and brakes. This time it it was a brush wash with wash and wax liquid, very shiney except for the scratches from under growth. All I have to do is clean the inside of the windows and I think we are done(maybe)
Best of luck to you all.

Hmmm.. Still to do (as well as working two more days!):

Chop out the rear wheel arches, chop up and raise the towing hitch (it's ploughing!) and weld on new bracket underneath, strap down battery, put eye bolts in boot floor, fit new master / slave cylinders (clutch) -if time!, engine oil change, finishing wiring the spots, replace fuel filter, find somewhere for HiLift and waffles and the fix the central heating in the house!

We'll sleep in October!

T and Lu :bom:

So much bleedin' paperwork to do that I've no time to post on here! Still, it's a break and a welcome distraction; packing 11 rally packs is hard work you know!

Good luck kiddies.

"packing 11 rally packs" That's a round figure.

"All I have to do is clean the inside of the windows and I think we are done(maybe)"

Likewise. Are we there yet?

11? That's a lot of spares, you expecting to spill red wine on a few when we go through and tippex out the spelling mistakes?

Not quite so ready as I thought. My old barbie, thought I might replace it. Have been around Homebase and B&Q only barbies they have are too big. So will have to keep looking or take old faithful and hope the bottom doesn't drop out

You could always take a shovel, a few bricks and the grill pan from the kitchen!!!

11 Tom, i've told you a million times not to exaggerate!!!

Im taking a few disposable BBQ's cheap and easy from tesco.

Well, doing quite good so far, shelves are now done, and here is the graphics picture...








There is a mistake somewhere in the graphics, the first person who identifies it, wins a speedboat (subject to terms and condidtions)!

Good luck!
