I jacked the rear right wheel off the ground today! the wife had not checked where our dogs were and reversed over one!!! Luckily its a fat little $hit and just got skin trapped between tire and driveway, he obviously wasn't too happy - that was a fun 20 minutes or so :shock1:

Least I now know where the jacking points are ????

Mrs.Trans did similar, I buried the dog...????

My mechanic is slow but he works for cat food.

 Looks like your mechanics overalls a whisker too tight.

Going for MOT windscreen check..two stamps for that!

I've had a lifetime of tinkering / repairing cars, mainly landrovers for my 4x4 off road competions, now here in Thailand I never look under the bonnet from 1year to the next on my Mazda truck, just serviced once a year. Luvly jubly.

Land Rovers are the best looking 4wds ever, but you need

to carry a bags of tools with you at all times.

I  fitted  gas  struts to bonnet and tailgate also hand  carved a piece of mdf and sprayed it  matt black to  mount a  second  tablet on the dashboard, am awaiting two dashcams and  will add them into the  fuseboard  soon

I almost finished re-installing my anti tailgater on high beam Passive retaliation system;

 

it comprises 2 rolls of 13 yards long 2 inch wide 3M retroreflective tape (same as the fibre night vest stuff)

I wind this ribbon all around my cargo /dogbarrier in the rear of the wagon.

Tailgater comes up behind and is self blinding himself... getting back some inverse square ratio'd portion of his own blinding LED lighting!

Oh and it also sends just as much reflect back thru the windscreen, to corporal punish oncoming glaring lights drivers too... and also the 2 side window of the wagon have some of it too... just to catch out an attack of highbeam from all other quarters!

 

Going back to it's inception; at first all I wanted was to not have to continually flip the day/night mirror, but that got boring... 

 

The first project was to install a rear vision camera, because the fringe benefit of the tapes was that I had no direct mirror rear views. The ribbon by virtue of itself also stopped the TVscreen vision being washed out by all the tailgater's lights.

 

I then installed a 2nd rear cam;

both alternatively feed the same screen, as AV1 and AV2:

- one a day cam 170 degree view, which comes on auto when it detects movement i.e whenever driving. It is the direct replacement for the normal driving rear view mirror, which itself is now simply the base for the TV monitor, strapped over the mirror.

 - the other a day/night IR cam 170 degrees, which auto selects for when I am in Reverse
