So where are we up to...
Christmas was eventful, First i had the clutch pedal snap which appears to be a common problem and then the viscous fan mount lost its thread. Car was repaired over christmas break and we were back running.
Picked up some Duratracs from AerialMark a few months ago which have sat in the garage since.
So decided it was time,
New Lower Arms,
ARB Bushes
Track Rod Ends
Gaitor Replacement
Tyres on!
Then on Sunday i thought id take it out for a little light laning and noticed that the revs seemed a little higher and i was loosing power. Quickly turned it off and tried to restart, Turned over fine but wont fire.
Then started a mile long recovery backwards with 2 other D3s to reach main road.
Recovery came out and tried to get it started but nothing. Recovered home and cleaned it up slightly.
Collected this morning and off to the local specialists. Not holding out much hope, think she is written off to be honest, just as she was about ready

Hi,
The engine was out of time, Garage put it back in time and its been running very well since much to all our suprise. No rough sounds, no misfires etc
I am actually selling it though, It doesnt get used enough and costs too much money to run multiple LRs...
