Kev, I fitted a replacment rear door screen last week after smashing it, It took an hour to do and was simple. Get your new heated screen (arround £50 if new), a tube of black SIKAFLEX sealant from screw fix (black silicone would do fro B&Q) and away you go, get somebody to give you a hand to...

Is there a seal betwen the end of the axle and the swivel housing where they bolt together?

what stops the diff oil running along the axle and entering the swivel? is there a seal somewhere? or could the diff oil mix with the swivel oil?

I just wondered if the grease option was less prone to leaking out?

Matt, Make sure your relay is rated at least 30amps, I have four 55watt lamps at roof level with the relay feed wire connected to to main beam via a dash mounted switch, if you flash your main beam quickly IE flashing somebody out, the relay has to latch in under load then drop out again, this...

Should I use EP90 or one shot grease in my swivels?:rolleyes: They are on EP90 now and weeping:eek:, Going to fit new seals but not sure which lube to go for? DEFENDER 90 300TDI Thanks, Gordon.

Has any body fitted Terrafirma All Terrain shocks to the front of a Defender lately? I fitted these along with new standard height springs and Terrafirma turrets. What I found was when tightned up the lower threaded part of the shock absorber just touches the top of the axle, it is as if the...

My 1996 300tdi has clutch spring rattle, nothing to worry about, had it 18 months now, done loads of green laning and days out in north wales, drive the clutch smoothly and don't ride the clutch. Remember to fit wading plugs if you are wading and take them out after your trip. Enjoy your trip...

Try the load relay, it sounds like the relay is welded in. The dash light is fed of the control circuit that's why the light goes out when you pull the fuse, the feed for the relay probrably comes of a different fuse of a much higher rating, heated screens are a high current user and so needa...

Has any body got a superwinch EPI9 (the one with the bridge containing the contactors)? How waterproof do you think it is? Mine has had one duncking and then worked intermitantly for half an hour then seemed ok, It may have been the isolator but that's a brand new 500amp model and seems ok. I...

Of course, I'm a num nuts!! So I won't leave the diff lock on for a laugh when the guy does the MOT!!!

Cool. Just out of interest and bearing in mind i have only had my defender 6 months, How do they do the brake test during an MOT if the vehicle is permanant 4 wheel drive? the rolling road iv'e seen used only rotates one axle at a time, No good for the Landy!!

Great, Thanks. Seems a bit odd using auto trans fluid in a manual box but what the hell if it lubes my gears then were on a winner!

Whats best for the gear box then?

So Ep80 or EP 90 then?
