    Cvrt.

    It failed its cvrt test last week on rear wheel bearing loose, not a problem, and rear top shock rubbers worn. Since they were the original shocks, it worked out easier to just put in new. When I took the old ones out, they were both shot. I'm assuming that because they were both gone, there was...

    Found it.

    At last I found the cause of the knocking, scrapping noise from under the floor pan. It only happened in 1st and 2nd but then as I went over rough ground. I thought it was suspension related but had no way of checking in the garage. That was until my big mate and his son came round. I got the...

    Drop arm.

    I'm getting a tapping noise what seems like a cable slapping the bulkhead when I pull away through first and second. Driving me nuts but can't find anything out of the ordinary. As it sounds like a steering associated noise and all the tre,s are OK, I thought d change the ball joint in the drop...

    Fitting rx8 seats.

    I've had the seats in for a while but always found it difficult to get to the battery so when I decided to replace the broken heating elements, I thought it would be a good time the rework the seat. The sliders in the original base were grinding back and forth because of the plastic guides and...

    salisbury rear axle specs?

    Has anyone a list of specs regarding the instalation of ne bearings in a 110 salisbury rear axle from a 300tdi. Going through the internet has fried my brain. I just need to know preloads, backlash and torque settings. Anyone done this and have a link?

    Nice defender.

    I got chatting to a bloke at south mimms service station ( I don't make a habit of that ) who had a beautiful 90. It had just had a mustang v8 fitted and all blinged up by nene overland. Don't know if he's on here, didn't get time to ask , but it was a beauty.

    Transfer box whine.

    I've narrowed a whine down to either transfer box or rear diff. Took off front prop, difflock engaged, whine still there. Rear prop off and whine disappeared. The next easy step I can see is changing the bearing behind the handbrake drum. Watched a few vids on it and it seems I can do it with...

    Whine from transfers box?

    Taking about transfer box's, mine has developed a whine like a tube train. I'm thinking bearings but not sure. Tried with front prop off and still there. Will take rear off tomorrow to see if there's any difference. How hard is it to replace bearings? Any special tools needed. I think this all...

    Winch solenoid

    Can anyone @dag019 , recommend to me an albright solenoid to go with my 12v warn winch. I'm not sure of the model but looking online, it's more than likely a xd9000. So many out there and I'm confused. Also a controller of some sort would be good. Basically, I need it all as I've only got a...

    Doe pass.

    The 110 passed its doe today with no advisories. On the way back I've developed a rumbling noise on what seems like nsf. It's not on acceleration but on deceleration at about 40mph. I just sounds like I'm going over the rumble strip. Coincidence?

    Warn winch.

    I've decide to get this old Warn winch up and running. I know nothing about them but someone here will. I need a control box/ solenoid and a new clutch lever. I emailed Warn and they emailed me back saying ring instead as they don't do emails! Has anyone got a name of a company that I can get...

    Rubber wheel arches.

    Has anyone used a product on their wheel arches to bring them back to black? I'd prefer the rigid arches and spray them but am stuck with these which have faded to a metal flack grey effect. I'm just after something that will give them a shiny black finish to match the rest of the trim.

    Ticking noise and james martin.

    A while ago I asked @jamesmartin if he could determine the cause of a ticking noise similar to when as kids, youd put a lollystick in the spokes of your bicycle wheel. Anyway, I did a bit of research on line and was told it could be the valve in the injector pump. I was still getting full power...
