So what did YOU do today?
lambert:
Today I went to a vintage transport show and got to stroke tractors. I then bought and fitted a new bosch battery to the car. And just now I find that the wife's nice's boyfriend has attacked her in front of her kids. Busy day.
Saffy:
Cleaned up 4l of ep90 that had leaked out into the land rover tub..... dogs found the puddle first.
Fitted a BAREBOX in the tub of the series one to hold bits n bobs. http://www.barebox.co.uk/
Fitted a new memory foam mattress into the roof tent. 55 quid for custom size one to be made up - pretty good value.

Yesterday I had to go to IKEA boo hiss and to see the outlaws bigger boo hiss, however it was the first long run since the new timing belt and over 51 miles I got a new record for my car of 32.4 mpg which to date is unheard of it was more usually top teens low 20's. Yay!

Today I will mostly be contemplating whether it is too early to be swapping my knoblies for my at's for winter. It's not like the ground is gonna dry up enough to be back on it any time soon. Hmmm.
Saffy:
Converted a foot locker into a cubby box that fits under the Defenders driver seat so that I could house a HUGE leisure battery there.
Plumbed it back to the passenger cubby where the main battery is housed.
The 10mm cable on the positive goes through a regular battery cut-out switch so that I can manually 'switch' in the leisure battery to start the car if needed or to give some extra cranking current (makes a big difference!).
The leisure battery side of the cut-out switch is plumbed to the AUX fuse panel which supplies the HAM/CB radio, Car PC, Eberspacher night heater, work lamps and in car power sockets.
Across the cut-out switch terminal posts is where the X-ENG split charge relay is wired in parallel. So with the cut-out switch in the off position the split charge handles the charging of the leisure battery once the engine is running and keeps it isolated when ignition is off.
