Hi All, Strange problem here. I fitted a complete set of new brakes, master/slaves, pipes etc late last year. All was well apart from taking ages to get a good pedal (bleeding with the car jacked up at the front solved this) and having to back off one front drum adjuster due to a slight...

Hi All, Am planning a trip to the factors at lunch to get some diff oil to service both axels. Annoyingly, I have left the manual at home so I don't know what the LR recommended type is. Can anyone help please? Thanks, B PS: Will the same oil also suit the gear box?

Hi All, We live in the sticks on top of a big hill and, due to local council cost cutting, we are effectively under house arrest every time it snows so my wife tasked me with finding a 4WD. Neither of us is keen on modern 4WDs and resent having to pay over £200 tax for a car that will spend...

Hi All, Do Defenders come with diff-locks as standard, I have looked at a couple locally and both had them but were they an option? Excuse my ignorance but I am going to collect my first Landy, a 1989 Defender 90 SWB 2.5TD, on Saturday. The area I am collecting from is forcasted for the...
