She lives!

Its been a long slog, but finally she's on the road!

This is my build thread: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/rambirkett-90-tinkering-thread-228431.html

Chuffed to bits, certainly a different type of driving from what i'm used to haha.

Just need to sort out the rear drum brakes as they seam to be sticking. New drums, cylinders and shoes.... and the adjusters are fully backed off

Are the defender and discovery axles the same? I thought you need to change the flange?

Only if you get a 300tdi discovery axle you will need to change the flange over from 3 bolt to 4 bolt. Easy job to do and you can get a kit in with every thing needed for the swap.

In fact this video shows you exactly what you need to do to swap over
