Deep down, you know you'll feel better about it - and about yourself - if you clean it and re-Waxoyl it.

Bloomin'eck, it's warm today, 21C and blue skies. T-shirt weather and I'm sweating, making the most of it as tonight it'll pish down and blow for the next 4 days.

Eh? You've got a Land Rover to get through an MoT and you reckon you've nothing to do?

It's been serviced, checked over and had the brakes bled over the last couple of weekends.

It should pass... anything that I've missed will probably require a certain amount of mechano style work to rectify

Besides it's a Series 3... what's the worst that could happen

Yes, I'd be even happier if I could afford to have it dipped and galvanised. I think it's going to be a case of having the repairs and alterations done, then clean off (thinking of burning off in some of the hard to reach bits with a blowtorch), couple of layers of marine paint and then waxoyl/dinitrol the outside. Fit anything that needs bolting through the chassis box sections and then fill inside with waxoyl too.

To be fair, I thought my old S3 was a cracking little machine - an 88" that the previous owner fitted with a Nissan D23 diesel from a Serena. Not exactly quick but much better on fuel than the 2.25 petrol it replaced.

It's been a day of doing nothing here, unless you count a dishwasher unload. Complete lethargy has set in. I can actually feel my brain decomposing.

Sitting on the fence is frowned upon.

The maintenance team spend endless hours repairing it you know.

Does your wife know? Because you can ask for financial help from PH in these types of situations.

Hey DC...."could we refrain from photoshopping my father"...from that thread we frequented earlier.

Some people are no fun.

Just got back from another tiring but fulfilling day's work.

Kwik fit wouldn't have stood a chance with some of the tyre fitting I've just been doing!

I like my 2.25 petrol, the Weber carb takes the edge off the fuel consumption... a little bit at least

Honestly, It'll be fine, we've put Dads Series 2 through 12 years worth of MOT's (last one was July ) with no failures and the two models aren't that dissimilar
