Done the front propshaft UJs and refitted it then sealed a leak (hopefully) on the transfer box. Discovered that my rear prop now needs the UJs doing but that's a tomorrow job and with that off it'll let me sort out that diff flange leak as well.

Nice colour. I was considering painting mine green and you might have swayed me. What paint are you using?

I might need to try this as I'm still getting that rattle and wobble through the steering and can't think what else to change. I'll see if my local motor place can get one in for me as they always have good brand name stuff anyway

Mine has the type that just clips in, never seen yours before. Even my 86 plate 90 didn't have those

Drop arm balljoint done. Absolute piece of cake of a job, especially when you've got the right tools. Dunno what all the faff is about lol. New panhard rod bushes pressed in and that'll be going on tonight. The Febi ones are great quality and just look at the difference between those and the...

I ordered a remote battery cut off relay as extra security, fitted it and it worked really well until I realised that neither by tracker or alarm worked 😒. It promptly got taken back off and I could have rewired both directly to the battery but that's more hassle than it's worth. I might fit the...

Yeah that's mine in the video. Everything else is solid besides that and when id taken it off the rubber had become detached. No idea what's going on but I've ordered a poly set and I've also managed to get a febi set from my local motor place. I'll fit the Febi ones first and see how they go...

There aren't that many earth points and the loom behind the dash is accessible. The dash is easy to remove and if it means getting better access to solve your problem then it's worth it. It sounds like a short to me though but it may not be behind the dash, they're very prone to chaffing inside...

They are the correct bolts but failing that I'll have some spares kicking around somewhere. ill go have a look just now for some decent bushes, I'm not bothered about whether or not they're poly but hopefully there's a bit less to go wrong with those I've never have had issue even fitting cheap...

They were aftermarket. After the first ones failed I went back to the seller and he sent me what to took to be some decent aftermarket ones. Clearly not. I either go for oem metalastic bushes or poly

The bolts are correct panhard rod bolts but even tightening it up to 110nm made no difference. It was already ft as they were only supposed to be 88nm. I took the rod off and there's a tiny bit of slack when the bolt goes through the bottom bush whereas the top one has the bolt nice and snug...

On looking back at that video and another I just took it's moving within the bush itself. Not the mounting points on the tie bar or axle

They're torqued to spec, they shouldn't be moving at all. I don't recall the holes being ovalled but I'll remove it and check

I tried to upload a video but can't. I got my missus to rock the steering back and forth and everything is solid except for the panhard rod. The amount of movement in the bushes, especially the one at the steering box end, is ridiculous. I took a video but it won't let me upload it. Those are...
