Thanks for the responses, I'll check the linkage on the transfer lever as it sounds promising. Ye i did think there might be the odd warning sign if the clutch or gearbox were on the way out, have had a little difficulty selecting second for a while but thought it was just the syncro. I'll keep...

Hi all, Im new to the Defender froum on here, have been on the series froum for a while. The Defender is usually the more reliable, however, jumped in it the other day and have lost all drive. I have tried it in diff lock, which didnt work and have checked the props which arent turning...

Go for it, you'll never know until you try, i've had a love hate relationship with all of mine but keep buying them!

Looks great! chassis has welded up nicely, its good to see another landy getting ready to get back on the road, or off it. You've got a good base vehicle to start from. My list of jobs has basically been the same as yours. There is a lot of advice out there on MIG welding, I hadn;t done it for a...

People come on here for advice and to check the progress of others peoples Land Rovers, not for a lesson in etiquette! How rude of me, I completley forgot to introduce myself! Sorry A Frazer not sure what it would be myself, had a similar problem with a 90's rear brakes which could be...

Cheers Jamesmartin that is the one Ive been looking for :) Legend!

Get her going, £900 seems a fair price, there will always be something to sort on her but thats the beauty of Land Rovering, most other cars of that age with a list like that would be heading for the scrappy.

Hello, I have an Ex Military 1968 Series 2a which I am currently restoring, I ordered a few new wheel studs as one or two are missing, However, the new parts that arrived have splines on the end that goes into the hub where as the existing ones are threaded, is this something that is unique...
