Excellent day today... got to drive a discovery. Even if it was only to get it going so we could sell it... but, I got to drive it nevertheless. Man it bought back memories... the high riding position, the comfort, the landrover scent...
First time I had driven anything with the TD5 motor in it, and boy I am impressed. It has been settled, when I buy a defender, it will have the TD5 powerplant. So much more power than the poor old 300TDI I have in the shed at home.
I finally downloaded the images off my phone so I will post a few on this, as DT says, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Spent most of the day hanging a projector through a suspended ceiling... that wasn't very straight forward. I ended up installing a couple of 2x4 beams to mount the bracket to, and then the bracket was so long the projector was about a meter off the floor...
Ended up using a bit of Kiwi ingenuity (for some reason the auzzies crack up when you say that) and shortened it using my trusty dewalt hacksaw.
Got it going in the end...
Whoever buys the disco gets a free series one disco thrown in, which isn't going to be much help because the one being sold is series two. Although there are transferable parts... on a whole they are quite different vehicles. That aside I am trying to acquire some parts off the series one before it's sold, so that is proving an interesting task.
There is also a pic of the banana tree we have in our backyard, and another one of three of our portable repeaters going out to a pipeline job in western australia.
Right, I'll post these pics and then I better go and cook some dinner.
TTFN
