    It's fine to use the standard metalastic bush in the panhard with polybushes on the radius arms. ;)

    Defender 90 DIY Paint Job

    The prep is very easy, I did all of mine with a cheap DA orbital sander from Screwfix and some 80 & 240 grit pads. The paint shop may want you to sand it down finer, but thats not difficult. It takes a day or 2 if you want to do it well but would save you a lot of money. The whole respray cost...

    holy fook a tyre question!

    Got STTs on my 90, very pleased with them :D Dad's 90 has BFG MT KM2s and they are unpredictable in the wet. I don't rate them on ice/snow at all.

    Don't shoot me, but...............

    Yep Nortons is still there. The Falcon? - it's been under new ownership for a few years and they have totally renovated it, it's chuffing nice. Up until this year I worked there during uni holidays :D

    What do you use your defender for ?

    It used to be used for towing, play days, shooting etc and as an everyday vehicle. Now it takes up space in the garage and helps to empty my bank account... But the rebuild is almost done now :D

    2" lift with 285/75 Stability

    I don't at the moment, however I may be changing the tyres so will wait until I have made my mind up about that before drilling the newly painted bodywork. They do throw quite a lot of muck up the sides which is annoying. Any chance of a couple of pics of the fedimas? -they are one of the...

    P38 diff drive flange into 300tdi diff?

    If you want a new one the part no is STC4858. Mine cost about £20 including new pinion nut/bolt and seal.

    Don't shoot me, but...............

    I had a similar problem a while ago, despite a new lift pump it still wouldn't run properly for more than a few mins. It turned out the fuel pipe running down the chassis had gone brittle and cracked, drawing air into the system. I would change the lift pump for a new Delphi version first and...

    Perfect, thanks for that. I may have to give it a go at some point. Keep up the good work! :D

    2" lift with 285/75 Stability

    Could you lower the CoG by putting the spare wheel on the rear door/bonnet and maybe move the hi-lift lower down also. The max weight on a roof is something like 75kg including the rack, you could be getting close to that with those bits up there. I fitted a 2inch lift and 285s with no...

    I have an old version of these, they go pretty high and the saddle is just wide enough for the chassis leg to sit in. Clarke CAX 6TBC 6 Ton Axle Stands - Machine Mart

    auf_wiedersehen_pet's build thread.

    Great build, your attention to detail is amazing and I'm very jealous of the 2.8. I had a read through the thread but couldn't find an answer, did you use any special paint to do the callipers?

    converted 300tdi air filter set up

    Not a problem mate ;) My screenwash bottle sits behind the nearside headlight and in front of the heater ducting. I've not got a picture but it appears to be a 200tdi version according to google. The only problem with the filter set-up currently is the risk of mud/water entering it via the...

    converted 300tdi air filter set up

    Sorry about the slow reply, it took a while to get the photos. I took a standard disco airbox and connected the disco filter-turbo pipe (the one with 2 x 90 degree bends in it) to get an idea of where the box would sit. Please ignore the messy engine bay, it's work in progress :rolleyes: On...
