Can you fit a rear door gas strut and not cut your door card . I ended up cutting mine but rather it covered the strut and not cut it .

I do more on road than off , but its my shooting bus so need it capable off-road . doc has given me some real bad news so its all a bit mute , but i want it looking good before i go . My son will benefit more lol , dont your kids always .

Thats pretty much what i wanted to hear thanks ..... i know theres no direct comparison mt/at , but i wasnt convinced the maxxix muds were better than BFG at's on the road as some said . IF there were i may of gone maxxis . MY actual aim was a good behaved tyre on road , acceptable off road ...

My head is mashed searching forums and on google trying to decide which tyres to buy . BFG KO2 or MAXXIS MT-764 . Both have that aggressive sidewall look im after . some say BFG all day long others say MAXXIS Are MAXXIS ok on wet roads ? or dangerous . Are BFG rubbish off-road . I...

MORE TEETH , that much i now realise . i believe 5mph over-read is accepted . I do believe bigger tyres will also do it . 31 inch in my case . depends what your set-up is , but more teeth on the speedo drive will do it . i dont get why mine needs more teeth than 20 its meant to with my...

Ok i re-built a t/box out of 2 one a disco the other a DEF , to put on my DEF 300tdi with 238/85-16 tyres and my speedo read spot-on before i did all this , So i fitted a BLUE 20 tooth drive which should be correct . No miles out . mmm Then fitted a 21 tooth GREEN , after removing mine from the...

Hi thanks for your replies , I put a blue worm , and thought the other shaft worms in the box were the same ?. DEF 300tdi R380 box , 235/85-16 tyres . I only used one gear out the old disco transfer box , all the rest are new gears . i didn't use the older DEF T/box gears because the teeth were...

I recently rebuilt my transfer box lt230 mostly with new gears in a disco case , noticed today on the m/way a rare occurrence for me , but speedo said 70 but i was actually doing 65 , it was this 5mph out from 20 up . what have i done , as i had 2 boxes in bits , one a defender one a disco ...

Hi im after a DEFENDER 300tdi diaphragm housing , Adjusting my smoke screw and the thread is stripped in the housing . so need another asap if anyone can help . thanks gerry

Ok so looked at this leak again . It certainly does look like its leaking down from above . There is no leak at least so far from the intermediate shaft o,ring all is bone dry , Nor from the drain thats between the 2 boxes if the seals had failed , Even if it were those as well it would not...

That's good to know , so I'm worrying for nothing . I can relax now and chase the r380 leak . Someone has suggested the selector housing on top of the box , as that's where it appears to be coming from . But who knows with a defender . Cure one leak and find another . If anyone does know can you...

all 80/90 GL4 , i will check for any other spec differences . Thanks for the help everyone .

I know what i have where now , But next top up maybe not ! knowing me . i did not have enough of the same brand to fill the transfer box , So ive had to use another brand . But if same spec can be mixed that's great

What are peoples thoughts on mixing different branded oils , but of the same spec ie 80/90 gl4 .

swapped my transfer boxes today lt230 for one i've rebuilt , i was going to change the r380 output seal but as it was bone dry in between the 2 boxes and not having the special tool i felt best left . But where the box joins to the alloy section , oil is running down what looks like from above...
