Hi , no not changed radius arms. The bushes look fine and still fit well. Could this still cause a problem

Thanks Gents, bit to go on there, Ill have a play ans come back to you and let you know what the results are.. Thanks again

Good Morning all. Im after a bit of advice. Ive recently put 2" lift springs (OME) on my Defender 90. Ive also changed the front prop shaft to a wide angle one. I havent changed the shocks. When I get up to about 45/50 mph I have a rythmic judder. It comes then goes then comes then goes. I also...

Ok so Ive just fitted new bowls, new headlights with LED side lights fitted inside the lens and Wipac Spot lights on the A bar. Followed all instructions to the letter. Checked all connections twice and off side works a treat however near side Lamp is Dim lacking serious power. Gets brighter on...

hi Johns 90, only breathers to axles. Whats best to do to sort itself. Run it around for a bit or let her stand for a couple of days.

Morning all, wonder if you can put my mind at ease..... after giving my defender 90 a bit of a jostling at the weekend (greenlaning in mid Wales) I noticed that whilst back on tarmac there seems to be a disconcerting lag when I apply the throttle. What I mean is if I feather the throttle the...

1spin water pump looks new gasket sealant still fresh so didn't bother. Dave 90 can hold pump to radiator hose when gauge showing hot so do believe it gauge compatibility. One on order so well see if it sorts it. Thanks gents

Hi can you help. I've just bought a defender with a disco 200 rid engine. It's runs well but runs red hot. It didn't have a thermostat so I've put a new one in. I've changed the radiator for a brand new one as all the fins were missing on the old one. And I've put a new temperature sender unit...

Hi JOnny P, yep there was enough purchase left on the sheared bolt so was able to remove it without any drilling. Got some new bolts and all sorted now. Thanks for ersponding guys. J

Hi costlyy, no I only had the three. I've managed to remove them with some very patient neighbours and now all I need is three replacement bolts. Luckily it shouldn't bel a problem now. Thanks j

Good morning all, I really need some help.. Being a rank amateur at this please excuse my ignorance.. I replaced my radiator on a 200 tdi yesterday. Went to put new thermostat in housing and whilst tightening up the bolts on the housing I've managed to round one off completely and I've sheared...

Hmm thought so, thanks anyway James.....Can you recommend anywhere?

Dear all, can you advise....? Im just starting on a 1972 SWB Series 3. The chassis is not to o bad but needs a bit of work. Ive heard you can pick up new galvanised chassis for about £500-£600. Is that right because I can only find them for over a grand. Where should I be looking if thisis the...

Thanks James bit of a relief really. Any ideas where I can get one of these plates for the rear b/head as it didnt come with one. Cheers jason
