Phew.... I'm stuffed. I've got the water pump in and the new radiator in place.... but found that the belt pulley on the new water pump is not in line with the original pulley. So it will have to be partially disassembled to correct this.

I've been at it for about 4 hours and my 74 year old back is saying "TOO MUCH!".... so I'll knock off and do some more tomorrow.

Pinch and a punch.....

The new radiator for the Landrover arrived today.... 

..... so the old one is out. Tomorrow I'll remove the water pump....  and then the new water pump goes in and the new radiator and all new hoses.  I've got some nice coloured hoses!

 I'm a sucker for gadgets ..... and I'm a fan of Ozito power tools.  I have a large number of the tools in my shed.  Here's the latest ..... an inverter!  It takes the 18v battery and puts out 240v AC and 5v DV for charging phones etc.

Of course its usefulness depends on how much AC power it can provide .... so I have it powering a 35W fan as a test.  If it keeps the fan going for a few hours then I know that it can power lights etc in a power failure.  It will also be very useful in a camping / travelling  situation.
