Pulled a rear brake cylinder apart, I do have the correct seal kit, but found corrosion in the bore.

New cylinders ordered.

I remember the Wheeler Dealers series they did that magically obtained brand new parabolic springs and dampers part way through the program and no mention at all of those in the price toting up at the end....

Craig.

I wish the rusty bolts and nuts came undone as easy as they do on these programs.
They're good for a laugh though.
They certainly don't include travelling everywhere to obtain unobtainium in the cost of the refurbishment. I'd like to see if they could get hold of a November 1975 onwards Series 3 dashboard top for instance.  They are none about. Even Blanchard's haven't got them.

All these TV Car Programmes are for pure entertainment only as the time and costs as totally unrealistic with most of the costs not even included.   They all appear to dismantle & rebuild everything is some amazing shot time scale, whilst traveling all over the country and sometime the world to get that rare part rebuilt or new at zero travel costs. 

Wheeler Dealers with Mike & Elvis rebuilt a Series I - they put a new set of AVON Traction Tyres on only about £1500 + Fitting - Not Included in their cost!

I wish my rebuild Time scale & costs worked like TV!

Had an urge to buy another Land Rover.

Tried it again with some Millers mineral 20/50 in there and it still wouldn't accept it, "Only applicable to certain products". If bog standard 20/50 mineral isn't applicale to a S2 then not sure what is.

Still cheaper without the discount than most other places anyway, so not a big issue, just a shame they have a drop down of 100's of web-based car forums and we're not in there !

I've just ordered some Bilt Hamber products from Opie (discount code didn't work for me either) but I did find "The Series 2 Club Forum"  in the very long drop down list - it took some scrolling on a phone screen to find it!

Tonight 8pm Quest Freeview 12.
A Series 2A Land Rover is featured. Should be good for a laugh as it certainly won't be serious.

I knew your dad a bit. As well as seeing hime at the nationals we went round his 2 or 3 times when we were near Heathrow. Bought a satnav app from him which we then spent a lot of time comunicating over, as it turned out to be locked to the first device on which it was registered - got there in the end !

Thought something had happened to him before as he disappeared from the forum for a while. Turned out he was away somwhere else in the world driving for another film. It was good when his posts started to reappear.

Anyone who met him will miss him.
