    On the classic car shows they talk about barn finds, I suppose that's a hedge find.

    1999 td5 defender, what axles are compatible

    When I did mine I bought the complete kit from Britpart, for wheel bearings use Timken bearings. Some people don't like Britpart stuff but I have had no problems with their stuff. You will have to remove your brake calipers, there is a bracket on the top of the top swivel pin that connects your...

    You should be able to do the swivels and bearings in a day, about as long to swap axles.

    I think there is a difference between tdi and Td5 tow bar fitting/mounting points. Hopefully someone with a greater knowledge will give an answer.

    Defender Td5 Wheel Bearing Issue

    On the Td5 you put on the correct spacer and tighten it up effin tight, I can't remember the torque figure. You can't adjust this to compensate for any wear in the bearings unless you have different sizes spacers.

    Defender Td5 Wheel Bearing Issue

    There are several different sizes of spacer, I can't remember the process for measuring and finding out what spacer is required that's why I changed to the old system, it's simple to adjust, something that you are unable to do with the spacer and single lock nut set up.

    2010 Defender MOT fail - No Airbag

    Water leak at top of door?

    I didn't see anything wrong with the join, it was the only thing that it could be. The crack cure is almost like water, it finds its way into the smallest gap, worth a try if you're still getting a leak.

    Water leak at top of door?

    I had a leak in the roof of my Double Cab, I found out it was the join in the roof above/behind the front seats. I got some " Captain Tolleys Creeping Crack Cure" ( I think that's what it's called ", that fixed it.
