Would agree with Dave on this. When I stripped my motor down, although I could get the nuts undone I couldn't get the bolts out as they were stuck fast in the bushes - even with copious amounts of LR tool No 1. I had to grind/hacksaw the bolts to remove the trailing/radius arms from the axles with t...

Dave When I was stripping my 90 down I found that the bracket had actually rotted away and the tank was just resting between the tubular outrigger and the chassis rail. As I'd already taken the body off access wasn't a problem and I'm putting a new one on anyway. When you start digging into corroded...

Disco axle onto Defender
Hi all Managed to source a disco rear axle from a 300Tdi to fit on my defender for the re-build and I had planned to simply swap the 3 bolt flange from the Disco diff for the 4 bolt flange on my Defender diff.......... However.............. When I removed both flanges, the disco one has a multiple (...

Sorted - combination of other forums and a bit of lateral thinking. Firstly - USE THE GENUINE LANDROVER PART !!! I got some aftermarket ones from Paddock and while they look ok, when you compare them to genuine landrover ones (which I managed to get today before they shut) the aftermarket ones have ...

Brake Caliper Seals
I'm renewing all the seals/pistons in the front calipers and I'm having some considerable difficulty in seating the metal cover seal. The rubber seals are fine but I just can't get the outer seal to go down flush into the caliper - it always wants to lift one edge out. The calipers are off the vehic...

Done the deed
Bit the bullet today and ordered the new chassis from Richards Chassis. It's around an 8 week lead time (the bloke I spoke to said they're working 7 days a week at the minute!) so I won't have to pay the balance till mid-end Oct when I've saved up a bit. One 'extra' I have ordered is the fitment of ...

Should I be worried?
Right old clutch out, new one in - that bit went fine but...................... Inside the bellhousing is coated with a fairly thick, greasy clag. It's not oily wet and I can't see any seepage from the gearbox oil seal so worryingly any oil must be coming from the rear crankshaft oil seal. The old c...

Clutch Change
Chaps Just got the new bits to replace the clutch on the 200 TDi whilst it's sat on the garage floor awaiting the new chassis. To help get the alignment right, has anyone got either an old gearbox input shaft of one of the much mentioned 'pre-whittled' broom handles? If so, any chance you could brin...
