Possibly but getting code C1B00 which could be a faulty steering angle sensor. Other symptoms so seem to match. Doesn't look too tricky to replace and can re-sell if it's not that.

Went to Burford yesterday morning.

I've posted this elsewhere but I'm so please with myself thought I would do it again. Finally fitted the swivel gators, and insured the 2A. Renewal was £153, a comparison site got me down to £77, and. I bought through Quidco, so £36 Cash back...

Can you remove this post please. Every time I read, I ask myself WHY did I sell mine. 😢

Pulled our caravan to Burford and got a headlight flash and a wave from a Defender, near Lechlade.

Nothing at all except drive it. God I love my D2 its brilliant.

I've done the cable change on D2, it is not to difficult, just use the string as has been suggested. The Disco' Sport has a 2 piece cable, joined in a plastic sleeve next to the battery box, is Freelander the same ? If so check there. To check...

Is it connected at the catch end? The fact that the handle is also broken suggests that perhaps it is being pulled too hard - which could suggest that the cables have stretched over time (needing more movement on the latch). If you replace...

Check that the release handle has returned correctly in the passenger footwell (as in it’s not stuck ‘open’)

Battery and earths first IMO. J

So after working on my roof I went to pay my Bill when a lovely woman in her little Ford smacked me in the passanger door, it didnt look a lot but the door was dificult to close any way a quick search round and I and I managed to get a Scrap...

Not experienced it myself, but I think in these instances it is usually the master that has gone and needs replacing. Summat might of happened when it ran out of fluid. With no ABS, its a very simple setup and nothing really between master and...

EP 90 is the recommended but many folks use the one shot, though not sure it really is one shot. 🤔

Funnily enough I'm using an aluminium enriched 2k epoxy mastic to fill the pits on the front axle of the 101. Unlike the ordinary series vehicles, the swivel balls can't be replaced, as they are welded onto the axle tube. The plan is to sand...

The pitting needs to be filled in to keep the swivels spherical or I guess oil will leak around lower bits. Point of note, check how thick the casting is for any replacement parts some are thinner than they should be.

I believe it still can be re-chromed, but if it smoothed and polished there is no need. Not something I have the patience for but it has apparently been done. 🤔

Plastic can be chromed these days, lots of chrome trim on cars is plastic under the chrome.

JB Weld or chemical metal is an option. Smooth over and rub down. Time consuming though if you going to do it right.

The bendy bit 😀

Okay. Gotcha. Stick with the EP. Ensure the leather is thoroughly soaked in petroleum jelly. Nothing else.

Yea, thats the one. The seal is leather, wraps around and is laced up to secure.

Theres a bendy bit hidden in your balls :p. Not sure I want to find out more just yet ! Gator Grease Go ?

Arent you in for a surprise then ;) . Theres a bendy bit hidden in your balls:p. Suggest you trawl online and get a manual for your flavour and read it in bed at night/Breakfast in the morning and during your tea breaks:). J

As far as I know steering done through swivels.

No UJ's, straight from axle tube to swivel. Though I have to be honest, what lies inside the swivel housing ? 🤔

I am in process of renewing the swivel gators on my Series. Do I stick with the EP90 or go with the one shot grease ? Indeed, is there any other options, or, what I was considering, was EP90 but grease directly on the swivel before fitting gator ?

What truck was it? DAF?

1 month down the road and engine is now overhauled and drive as well as expected. Bodywork next and interior. I do have one question, these engines used leaded fuel, obviously they only have unleaded. I have heard various options would...

Put a jack on a chunk of plywood and jack it up, place axel stand on another slab or wood chunk, it'll help to stop yer head torch getting knocked off as you limbo under ...

Google d4 earth strap failure, think its under engine drivers side?
