| Just when everything was coming together the Land Rover decides to through a wheel hub seal and coat the brakes in gearbox oil. I now have the lovely task to replace the front brake shoes in between work. I guess thats the joys of Land Rover ownership  | |

| Not good news but, as Dee says, better now than in a week.
Hope you can get it done okay - albeit it's unwanted pressure so near to departure. | |

| As said, better now than in a week or so time. Easy fix, but not when you're pushed for time at the last minute. But then again, it is a L ... La ... Lan ... Land ... Landr ... ... green oval thing .... to leak fluids at the most unwanted moment ....  Bet my L200 has a trick up it's sleeve before Friday  especially as I've been forced into using it this week for work. The Fix Or Repair Daily van croaked last week | |

| Almost certainly the KOD - taking it real easy with it at work. Some of the construction site access routes are more than tempting though | |

| Brake all fixed now and working better than ever Yipee. But now the rear lights need a bit of work, luckly i have the parts at home and shouldn't cause to many problems. Then its just oil changes and we are good to go. Oh the joys of classic cars | |

| Funny how you fix something and it works "better than ever". Love all the last minute stuff going on - wonder how many others are quietly "fixing stuff" under cover of darkness  | |

| Nick - This is all part of the structured plan; aka organised chaos! Ross - Glad brakes fixed (very useful!). I'm sure the lights will be a doddle.  | |
