ok excellent couldnt do this myself so got a price of 60 quid fitted and supplied part. done next monday hehe

ahh found it!! phew its all a bit rusty..and whats that huge cylindrical thing?

where and what is that?? I had a quick look underneath i cant find anything lookinh like this? lots of Uj's

Shes prepping for a big trip to devon (im in norfolk) with 10 passengers hehe..and roof rack hopefully with my trailor.

I dont know the answer to that. only that the guy who sold her to me said it was free and NEW. Hehe so it seemed the right thing to do. She wont be working this year...I still plan the priming and couple of top coats before winter sets in.

Have some ideas as to whats causing it...loose UJ'S? Only seems to do it in low gears. A loud clunking noise whilst changing gear. Can be allieviated by feathering the change with the clutch. Is it the Clutch?

Restoration so far : Replaced Gearbox with heavy duty "Santana" 5 speed manual. Replaced radiator/Fan. New Alternator/belts. New Ht leads and refurbed Dizzy. (not done the leads yet) Full service : Plugs oils Filters etc.. Greasegun hehe. New fuel tank. (Genuine part) picked up cheap...

Yup another design fault. So ill proof mastic the stone guard during install.

Found a good workshop in Frome but im in Norfolk. Does anyone know a good Door refurb service out here ? All 5 need doing hehe.

hehe nothing went as planned. The tank turned out to be another type WFE000190 with the return parallel with the breather/filler. The nuts/bolts holding the old tank in place were easily removed due to WD40 days earlier. All the Jubilee clips proved a...

So i dont have to worry about getting air in the fuel lines or anything?

defender 1988 lwb V8 3.9efi. Has sprung a leak. So ive decided to replace it as it cant be driven. Assuming I get the tank (85quid on ebay) can I fit it myself with just rudimentory mechanical knowledge? Thx in advance The leak is coming from the tanks base.(standard tank fitted)

ok got it. ill fill the tank to 3/4 to rule out any other issues. cos its only got a 1/4 tank normally. this might be the cause. then if the pickup is faulty ill drop the tank and drain then either replace it or improvise...namely a petrol proof rubber hose with a filter on the end. those sender...

can you elaborate. im just a hgv1 driver/recoverer.

Nope mines fine though not yet converted to lpg. 4.2 lower end with a 3,9 topend efi of course.

Now to start with this motor is in great nick maintained by a genuis locally. Due for MFfuel LPG conversion in august. But something odd that niggles.... She runs fine with no problems pulling away rapidly as you would expect. but on a steep downhill slope once you reach the end and brake she...

outside

its leaking very very slightly from the hub. spraying the wheel. if u look at the wheel compared to other wheels its covered in oil where the other wheels are spotless. I wipe it clean and a week later its dirty again.

Is it diff oil ? if so will i need to undo the hub an replace the oil seal? is this straight foward or do i have to drain the rear diff?

Thanks guys appreciate the sound advice. Think i'll go with what you all say and do the lpg conversion properly. Costing an amazing 1800 quid. OUCH! Then replace the rotting nearside doors and seal kits all rounds. Then finally the respray. Im doing that with rad rollers and lots of filling...
