Its 2 years ago since I started the Land Rover Blog (or Land Rover Discovery blog as it was known then!)
I still can't believe how much it's grown in the 2 years I have been working on it. Subscriber numbers having been growing on an almost weekly basis, and traffic has tripled over the last year.
So thanks again for supporting the Land Rover blog!
If you have a question make sure you get in touch.
Before Christmas I fitted a second battery and split charge kit in the Land Rover.
So now I have a second battery to run accessories, it was time to add a 240volt inverter to the Landy.
An inverter takes the 12v source from the second battery, and turns it into 240volts so that you can use everyday power items which have a UK 3 pin plug.
You can buy various size inverters depending on what equipment you want to use with them, but I opted for a 300watt (900w peak) inverter. This should be more than enough to power my laptop or TV for example.
A few weeks ago I changed the oil pressure switch on the Land Rover.
As I cleaned up some of the oil which had dripped onto the front prop-shaft, I noticed the sliding joint was shot, and it had so much play it wasn't funny!
So it was a trip to the local Land Rover shop to get a new prop-shaft. It cost £80.
Its 8 nuts and bolts to change the prop-shaft. This is how I fitted it.
Happy new year to all Land Rover Blog readers.
2010 has been a great second year for the Land Rover Blog, so thank you for being a part of it!
Whatever you are up to for new years eve, have a safe and enjoyable one. See you in 2011!
What a year! The second full year of the Land Rover Blog has seen the site really take off.
This year the site traffic has more than tripled over the 1st year, as more and more people find the the site from search engines and forums around the net. Subscriber numbers have more than tripled as well, so if you're a regular subscriber - a big thank you to you!
For me personally its been an up and down year, with one of the low points being forced to sell my 110 CSW back in June. However, high points include spending the whole summer in France, Spain and Portugal, and being able to rejoin the Land Rover fold by getting another 110 in the Autumn.
So as the year comes to a close, lets review a few of the statistics from the 2010.
Merry Christmas to all Land Rover Blog readers
I hope you have a great Christmas and new year and Santa brings some nice new parts for your Land Rover.
Land Rover UK have just produced this festive video. Enjoy!
Its been the south west's turn to get some heavy snowfall, and as a good Land Rover owner, I have been out taking advantage of the conditions.
Here is a gallery of snow photos that I have collected over the past few days.
Over the weekend I had my first call out as a member of the Devon and Cornwall 4x4 Response group.
The group is part of a network of volunteers with 4x4's who help out the community when the weather conditions mean the usual transport methods don't work!
Last week we showed you the Land Rover Freelander 2 demo video at the Honiton Land Rover Experience.
This week we bring you the the Discovery 3 on the same course completing the same obstacle. Again the employee talks you through how the Discovery does it!
