keep meaning to scrounge a disco drop arm off me mate for the old 90 so i can save meself the ton of hard graft i had replacing the last drop arm joint
borrowed a press tool from the local garage and broke the fooker :doh: and still did'nt get it off ended up taking pas box out and getting them to remove and replace it in thier workshop

now thinking about it.... I have a new disco steering box with drop arm and all in the garage that i took of a disco a mate was breaking!

result!

Today to me Defener I...

Fitted my Mach 5's with some Mastercraft Mud Courser Mt's Then I fitted me Raptor Console with my gauges and new stereo! Gonna give her a wash now!

Gonna replace my drop arm joint as it is nackered like the step by step pics you have really helpful where did you get the kit from buster?

Today I fixed my xfer box linkage so it will shift into low. Linkage had snapped on the box end, and the lever was seized in the housing on the box. I don''t think the PO used low range much, if ever.

Replaced my reverse light switch... had to go asking the neighbours for nuts though...

Mine didn't have the locking one!

Recently put new door seals on the old bucket. Drove to work warm and dry in a torrential downpour, after it sitting overnight out in same. A dry Defender...didn't think such a thing was possible .

ajr

Took the spare wheel and wheel carrier off the back door! Utter bliss when driving around now! No more bang clunk rattle rattle over each bump!

Rear door is fecked mind

touched up a bit of rust on the front bumper and on the ladder.

oooh im telling Rachael

Welded over more holes in the chassis to get through the MOT - now mostly patches...!

failed the mot on another hole in the chassis then came home and welded it up again

Started the V8 to drive to work but let the revs drop and it conked out. Would not start again - guess I flooded it ; "hashtag" retro motoring

full size intercooler and boost pin fitted over the weekend

yes it makes a difference.

Covered the head lining with van carpet. Looks a treat, after the saggy grey dirty vinyl version I had before.
