As i remember, it wasnt getting the bearing in that was the issue, but the circlip that holds it in place. It was years ago, but, im pretty sure, i just pushed the bearing in with a vice and a drift (probably a socket of some size). But i had...

When I was skint, I changed the bearing in one of them. Took me hours to get the bearing out using very basic tools. I vowed id just buy the whole thing if I ever needed to again. But... If you had the tools, you could just put in whatever...

I think, if you're a rivet counter, those ones are to be painted before riveting. Check, as I'm not sure, and can't be bothered to look it up now.

Make sure your bank account is healthy. And then find some more money from somewhere.

Be aware that the banjo bolt that secures it on is not a standard bolt. It may look like one, but its not - if you look closely, its got a pinhole, instead of a normal hole. As for the "banjo" itself - you can, im sure, get banjos with two...

Web forums exist due to the information donated by their members. Web forum running cost is exceedingly minimal. Nothing more than a minuscule amount of advertising revenue is required to reach financial parity. We are WAY past that point. The...

On mine, i replaced the shafts and flanges together (rear), using sealable flanges, and, at the same time, removed the oil seal behind the stub axle, so as the gear oil can run the whole way up to the flange. Ill take it apart at some point in...

Yeah, im on the pc at the moment, and zero ads, but on phones its harder. There are browsers and script combinations (like kiwi) that will strip everything off facebook, but its still madness that this forum is getting that bad.

Im confused by this - the 300disco had them, but that didnt have a salisbury. ...and, more to the point, im pretty certain (almost entirely certain) that the 300 disco and 300 defender salisbury half shafts are different lengths (which is why...

Is it just me, or has the forum advert load just got insane recently? I mean, once I've slid up the drop down covering half the screen, I then get this kind of thing (screen shot from my phone) - It's madness. It's getting worse than...

I bought this 110 couple of months ago for £700. Its, basically, an ID, some axels, and a load of dashboard parts (which would really add up if you had to buy them all) I have the majority of the required parts to make a ropey work vehical left...

You can get this one, which has an internal bar between drivers and 2nd row - Or this one, which is exactly the same, but without the internal hoop - My partner is adamant that she wants no internal stuff, but the external is the same...

I reckon, if it comes to it, I'll just buy one new. What bothers me in this plan is that, a while back, I mailed an eBay seller who's (complete) cage had gone unsold (id not seen it, else I'd have bought it). He told me he couldn't get rid of...

... still keeping my eye out for one of these.

The only person it matters to is you. The only person who knows for sure is some long retired quartermaster. In light of these two truths, just pick whatever you want. Nobody else on earth will either know, nor care.

We live in EX16, so I'd like to think we could come by. Assuming the FL2 doesnt go into limp mode too many times on the way there! If I tow it there with the 110, will the 110 get firebombed when I arrive? : )

Been thinking..... If I proposed Saturday 26th July, could folks let me know how many people might be interested?? Long distancers could pitch a tent overnight. Could organise a port a loo and refreshments. All depends on the interest. It...

Happy to donate use of a field if North Devon suits anyone. Date by agreement !! About 25 mins from M5 JCN 27. As it's a field you'd need a 4x4 🤭

Ive a friend who has swapped over to an electric car, and offered his processor up for sale on the various bio forums, and there was really very little interest. His setup was significantly more competent than may of the commercial offerings...
