    It will be crabbing if it's lifted or front springs have sagged. The only way to sort it is to fitan adjustable panhard rod.

    Help fitting a 4 point harness in my TD5 90

    You need to mount it to the chassis, at somewhere towered the back of the tub. Or to a roll cage . But to be honest if you are fitting seat belts that could one day be need to stop someone from being killed then I'd suggest you have it done properly by some who really knows what there doing.

    Bearings will fit as will the inner seal. I thing the the early disco axles also have a outer hub seal, which I don't think the defender has.

    adjustable panhard rod help!!

    You need to go and have 4 wheel alingnment done at a good tyre garage. Playing with you panhard rod will meen your axles don't line up any more. As for the steering wheel being out, it's down to the drag link but there's no point setting that till you have sorted the crabbing out. Before you...

    No brakes

    It looks like you have oil on the disk ? Are your wheel bearings ok? Or maybe the hub seal has failed?

    Tdi Highest mileage

    we swaped out my mates 300tdi, when the big end dided. it had 310k
  19. D

    Is someone having a laugh?

    if its really as good as it says with only 35k on it then 4to 5k is not a supprise. but then if your lively hood suddenly is dependant of a 4x4 cos of the snow then adding 50% is about right. id love to be a landrover dealer in scoutland right now!
