Well another funny story, turns out the rear trailing arms have been loose. Finally got round to checking the viscous coupling and the axle moved, coupling is fine. Tightened up as is and it looks like they are not set right. The diff flange is angled up towards the transfer box. I need to make...

Well, funny story....... Turns out the previous owner gave the landy to a garage to try and fix after it stopped. They swapped coils distributor and HT leads. Turns out they didn't connect them up correctly. Whoops........ As soon as I sorted the ignition wiring it fired up. The old ecu that...

Look like 15mm od.

Yep, I did that but there are 2 different types I think pre and post 2002. Barrels are different from all I can find. Perhaps I will just have to take the chance on the pre 2002, the door keys are different to the ignition.

It's Hybrid, bit like triggers brush........ So the year means nothing. I will edit the title to stop confusion.

I have had a look about and think these are from a later defender. I want to change barrels in the door handles. Struggling to pinpoint which ones they are. Can anyone confirm what age or barrel I should be buying from the photos. Help much appreciated.

Not checked. The rear prop is at one he'll off an angle. Much shorter than range rover as its now in an 88". Says it should be aligned, not like the front. Perhaps this should be phased too, given the length and angle.🤔 Would explain the vibration......👍

Not checked, will add too the list. No weights so probably not.👍

Thanks lads. Another issue came up so been sorting that. Got a blocked injector, So waiting for a set to replace them. The borg warner seems to be working, not seized, no skipping. I have custom props. So hoping they have been made the right length. They seem to be. It has the 90s rangie axles...

Thanks for that, there seem to be loads of the RR ones for sale. Looks like a better fit and if not easy to lengthen.👍

It needed lengthening by 1/2 inch to engage properly, so the plan was to cut, sleeve and weld it. Anyway, in a rush to get it together the end was crushed in the press.... It would be good to get one that doesn't have the nuckle in it. I can cut and shut if too short but I would rather not...

Looking to sort out a missing part, the one shown is too short. Are the splines the same on other landrovers that I can get a new replacment? Identify what this is off would be a start.

I tried to do this underneath today but no play in anything. It's all stiff, no movement in anything. Which was strange, was thinking it might be wound up........ but will check it all out tomorrow. Going to do all the fluids in everything tomorrow afternoon. The borg warner takes ATF doesn't...

Haha. There was lots of oil dripping. The zf4hp took about 4 litres to get it to the right level. The bodged atf cooler hoses where leaking......... need new, but its stopped leaking after bodging the bodge....... It shift well with no noise going up the box. I like the idea of the drum...

Cheers Datatek, that's what I am going to do tomorrow. Got some more checks to do. Lots of strange noises compared to my rangies. I have just bought it, got it running. Previous post on V8. Just ironing out issues at the moment. Cheers.
