Have you done an earth leakage test ? Make sure everything is switched off in the car, including interior lights etc. disconnect battery negative lead, and connect multimeter (amps) between lead and negative on battery. You should get less than 0.05 amps. If above this figure, starting pulling...

Hi and welcome mate

Inspection for what ?

I also believe there is a company somewhere that do service exchange units.

I may not be 100% correct but if you have a driving mode switch, you have a haldex unit. The unit is a motorised clutch that changes the amount of torque applied to the rear wheels through the diff. This depends on the position of the driving mode switch. For example in mud you would have...

I’ve got one for bike carbs and other similar items, works great. But wouldn’t put brake callipers in it. Completely unnecessary, brake calipers are easy to clean.

Good point about calling a 90 or 110 a defender if it’s pre 1990, makes a big difference to this post. 🙄

One thing I was trying to highlight was that the old defender with a body on ladder chassis, beam axles, and diff lock etc, and fairly light and narrow. Was a very capable 4x4 for everyone. If you want to throw some money at it you can make an exceptional machine for what ever you want to do...

The discussion is about Land Rover defenders 👍

Chill out kevtard, it’s Saturday 🤣🤣

I think you missed the point. The key word in my first post is potential. Have another read 😉

Yes, but you will always have better articulation with beam axle

Ahh the old motocross bike comparison, good point 🙄

This is true if you are in say muddy conditions, and losing grip on one or more wheels. But it’s not always the case. I have done some off roading in cyprus, and never needed to use diff lock due to the dry grippy terrain. I rarely lost equal drive to all 4 wheels. I do see your point though...

I know the the clever driver modes let’s you drive with a wheel lifted, but this is just compensating for lack of articulation. Ideally you want all wheels on the ground at all times. A four wheel drive is better than a three wheel drive.
