Will check rear of prop this eve after work. TY

Ahhhh.. good-o. Will check diagnols, that's a good idea if I can get accurate measure on them. Is the panhard forward of the wheel or sitting behind it - anti-roll bar possibly? It doesn't seem bent, should it be laser straight? Good enuff on the boxes then, wont touch them for now as...

My bosses son took this for a drunken spin last year, on their land so no law enforcement involved but still not clever. Not so irresistable Landy met the immovable tree, smashed the wing obviously, but harder to see in the pictures is the left wheel got shunted back about 5". Amazingly it...

Not needed for normal use though.. competition kit is it?

Wasn't sure, so I was grabbing at straws. So DL doesn't lock each axle, it locks the g-box? or transfer-box? TY

Spending money... that'll cheer the old git up.. will get the defibrilators ready.

1/4" of movement left to sit fully in high. Had to use so much force just to get to that point that I assumed I was all the way. Embarrassed :/ Greasing today.

Often the case! But not this time :) It was my massive mistake though.

What 'que ridicule :) ' is a DMF??? googling now... christ.. hope it's not the DMF then. Just been back to the beast, started it up.. DL engages/disengages fine whilst crawling with or without the clutch.. but found an extra 1/4" of travel to sit it into High ratio. Wouldn't have found it...

Quick reply TMHM, cheers - don't think it's still in DL as all wheels were turning fine when raised - but that might be me remembering a previous thread wrongly? DL light is off, no problem engaging/disengaging DL, always been hard to engage LOW so I never bothered until I was told to. has...

2002 Defender 110 TD5 van, R380 Soooooo... I'm told to overload a single axle home built trailer.. about 1.75ton of building kit, then told to drive up a long slope, wet grass, ruts with road pattern tyres. Slips and slides.. he tells me to engage Low and DL.. I tell him it's impossible to...

Okay - sorry for the long silence, lots of busy here. So, this is what I find, removed front prop and the UJ nearest g-box was needing lots of force and was hardly moving it's full 'path'. Removed weeks ago, LRDirect send 2 x AllMakes UJ's.. French postie sends it back.. bless them and things...

Thanks Skinny Mike, a thick skin will be developed quite quickly methinks!

A big hello here from St Alvaire, France :cool2: The sun is shining, dogs sleeping, chickens annoying, geese their usual terrified selves and the boss is away for a week.. Heaven! Just wanted to say a big thank you for all the advice you are likely to be giving me! Reading through the...

I will try to find out what oil was in it - owner has been vague about that sort of thing! Also today I am making a 2cv come back to life.. lazy Sunday yes?! Tack Bromsgrove Defender!
