I know this is more Series 3 related but Series 2's are involved.
I have to renew the radiator hoses this year and over the Bank Holiday I had a communication from Craddock's regarding special offers and there are silicone hose kits for Defenders, Discoveries and Freelanders but not for Series.
I rang them this afternoon and had a chat with a helpful Scott who asked me to check part numbers. From the parts list I gave him the top hose number which he identified immediately but the bottom hose illustration looked nothing like mine. I described it to him as it's got a 180 degree bend and he suggested I try part number 530585 on their website. The illustrations was the correct hose but it was shown as a Series 2A one. I had a look at the Series 2A parts list that I've downloaded and the illustration of the bottom hose was identical to that in my parts book but checking against the illustration number a number of alternatives were given depending what radiator was fitted and there was 530585. No alternatives were shown in my Series 3 parts list
Thanks to Scott I now know that the bottom hose on my Land Rover is for a 2A.
Now to get back to Craddock's to see if there's a silicone kit available.

I am no longer married.

Hence I don't need a clock in the workshop.... 

New bulkhead arrived today, onward from that !

Yesterday checked and blew up the LWT tyres ready for the road.
They didn't need much air, just a few psi all round.

But today the driver's rear was flat as a pancake 
2 steps forward, 1 back 

So .... out with my new whizzo electric jack. Works off the cigar lighter on the dash.
Fits under the spring plate on a flat tyre - (also fits under a Ford Fiesta).
Lifted the rear end up quite quickly and popped the spare on. Didn't go anywhere under the vehicle whilst it was in the air.
Not quite a McLaren 2.2 second pit stop.

A "Chinese" device off eBay, didn't go for the cheapest, has a 5 ton rating, with air pump and work light, and it all fits away in a sturdy carrying case.

Yeah, really spoilt the moment!

I top coated the previous day's undercoat. What a good idea having an extra day to the weekend (UK bank holiday). I took in the space, smells and departure from my usual week time routine and loved the sun, birdsong and relaxation.

I'm a novice when it comes to respectable paint finishes. Will a simple polish with a good quality polish knock the occasional dust particles off the seat box sides?

Well done Oddjob!

5 mins later wasnt there stream of really slow S2's come past

Yup  I hear you. The standard response to that in this house is "I'll see you at 11 O'Clock then" Usually she's about right, but while Britain's Got Talent is on, I need a sanctuary.
