Hello fellow landy lovers I've seen a set of deep dish alloys on sale for a decent price. The advert states that there fine for 110 as is but will need spacers for a 90. Is this correct or just for cosmetic? They would be going on a 2007 Puma if that makes any difference Cheers

Any recommendations where to get them and what brand to go for? There pretty pricey so what would be good value for money ?

Replacing the old drive memeber and seen this. Guessing it's new half shaft time.

That'll be my job this week then :) I'll bear that in mind and check them often. Is it a good idea to grease them after the new ones are on before I put the cover on? If so what grease?

The nearside rear was fine but I'll order one for it anyway. Is it just a case of unbolt the old and slide on the new (with gasket) and does it need to be jacked up or can it be done whilst wheels on the ground? The fronts were fine, bit of surface browning but all the splines were intact...

Found this chewed up on offside rear. CoUldale this alone cause my loss of drive? If so that's pretty mad.

Thanks for the info gazbo I'll check the flanges in the morning but if there good I'll know where to look next :)

Thanks for the replies, and thanks for putting them in a language I can understand :)

Yea it was on the front right hand side if your area the front grille. It may or maybe not related to the loss of drive, been a while since I've looked under there. I'll go have a look at the splines in the morning. If they are chewed up what part would that be?

Also at the time looked under bonnet and theres a fair bit of oil coming from somewhere

Hi all, hope someone can help with a diagnostic It's a 2007 2.4 defender 90. Was taking off from a set of lights big jolt and no drive. Tried in high 1,2,3 no movement. Tried low 1,2 nothing. Manged to drive off in high difflock. I've had a look round the forum, broken half's shaft, gearbox...

Hello and welcome :)

I'm not sure if I it is a similar set up or not, it's the 2,4tdci and mt85 box that I have. I'll check the levels anyway and see what happens

Cheers for clearing that up mate, was starting to get all teary eyed at the thought of cost of new box haha

Been noticing extra steering play and vibration than usual think it could be shaft related but as I was looking under saw oil and this hole it's about 2x5mm. Could I get away with having it welded?
