    Improve road comfort defender?

    Change the springs and dampers for more road biased ones, add anti roll bars, put a terra firma RTC steering damper on and replace bushes with rubber not poly as I find poly bushes are a harder ride. Someone may have some better ideas or options though. Hope this helps.

    I fitted parabolics to my series 3 and have not had this problem so far and the body isn't on yet. We can't work out an easy solution for this problem apart from fill the rear tub with concrete!! Lol

    UJ adjustment after parabolic springs

    Hi all, Is somebody out there to help. Mate of mine has an 88" series 1 and we have installed parabolic springs. The problem is that the UJ on the rear of the gearbox is now slightly too steep and is fouling on itself. Are there any adjustments we can do to alter this? Many thanks

    Clutch pedal!!

    Lanny the bite is almost non existent now the fluid is topped up and I can feel the start of a slip. Just amazed it went overnight. The last one was a long and drawn out process!! I wish it was the pedal box but it's the big jobby. Not bad considering the Landy is on 192000! Lol

    Sorry I'm in Herefordshire, so prob "down here" would have been more appropriate! Lol. It was a countrywide sort of place. Any horsey place will do a good deal. May even have off cuts.
