I would concur with above - a UJ first then check your CV's Ive just changed a front UJ - well did the entire front prop in the end but I had the clicking noise intermittently, mainly on a turn and under trottle.

I wouldnt bother - I have a disco 200tdi with electric fan. It never gets hot enough to come on automatically - I have a manual switch which Ive only used to test the thing still works.

I replaced the one I had on my 1988 90 and managed to get one off Ebay.

There is a buzzweld Galvanised metal primer called T wash but I would recommend you email Craig Jones at Buzzweld.co.uk - theres also a good facebook group with plenty of info. My chassis is done inside and out although not new like yours - very good product.

do apologise my bad

agree some great routes in Wales but how much in diesel to get there and back ? £50 is good value then ;-)

We have had some people think £50 is expensive however we are booked up until Aug so plenty feel it’s good value. If you consider it’s 3hours approx 18 miles continuous off road in a place no one else can access ? Come try it first and see for yourselves

Cannock chase 4x4 off road safari www.forestrax4x4.co.uk - in partnership with Forestry England. - nothing too extreme but still a test and the only way to officially take a 4x4 into the forest

When I drive off road I engage/dis-engage diff lock as needed. I tend to dis-engage when going around corners unless particularly required of course. Never had a problem with wind up - not sure if my technique is correct but how I was taught? Ditto with other comments - low box wont cause wind...

Depends how old it is? mines a 1988 and I also foam rollered with enamel paint from paintman uk and you cant tell its not sprayed. Mines used as it was designed to be used so couldnt see the point on spending on a spray job!!

disagree - you need an overide switch if you fit an electric fan - last thing you want is for it to come on when you wading!! Mines on a thermostat but I can start on a seperate switch and also de-activate - only way to go imho

Get rid and fit an electric one - one with a switch to overide is the way to go:-)

I do have 265/75/16 mud terrains on mine on off set modulars but don't necessarily think about going wider for mud as generally a narrower tyre is better as cuts through the mud easier. A wide tyre tends to sit on top.

my choice would be these https://www.4x4tyres.co.uk/235-85-16-goodyear-wrangler-mt-r-114-111q_576069?specs=24,59,66,
