They'll be ok with that liquid grease, put some leather gaiters over the top and don't worry

Is it worth rigging up some "curtains" of Visqueen with a weight at the bottom to keep the weather out?richardthestag wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 7:15 pm
open fronted barn is not the best but I do acclimatise to the shit weather
brakes next, this is the off/drivers side, stripped it down ages ago, opted for a complete Britpart rebuild kit, lets see how good it is
Suggest you pull the new slaves apart and give them a good clean and red greasing.
The muck that is in some is extraordinary.

Re: Land Rover Rustorashun
Updatez
1994 Aegean Blue project for a customer
Found relay for supply to heater motor was removed, had another in the stash to tested it before install Alas all it did was set up an arc on the wire connecting it to supply removed the fan speed switch and connector for feed and terminal were heat distressed heater needs to come out, getting good at these the customer supplied a doner heater unit from a Disco1 but the motor in that was shagged out too. Opted to make one decent unit out of the two The motor that came out of the RR heater unit had overloaded big time. insulation around the field windings had been on fire and the carbon brushes were melted into their holders. When this thing let go it must have filled the car with some pretty acrid smoke. Next up was to sort the passenger side exhaust manifold. Those who have seen the vids on youtube will know it was blowing badly. None of the bolts were tight, the locking tabs were missing and one bolt had gone altogether.
And theres more

Re: Land Rover Rustorashun
Next up for Aegean Blue, that damned ABS light, luckily you can easily diagnose the root cause using blink codes
Turned out in this case to be front drivers side sensor. Removed it, cleaned it and reset it and all works fine now
getting Aegean Blue ready for MoT, replaced a few bulbs and fixed the screen washers
It failed but only on a steering ball joint and one rubber cap. However the driving experience was somewhat marred by the fiendishly heavy throttle pedal and the lack of any performance over 3k rpm.
The throttle pedal should be a straightforward fix, pedal, cable or throttle housing. Or as it turns out all three.
The lack of performance will most likely be down to bunged up catalytic converters.
