You can either turn pump down by screw at back of pump 1/4 turn or retard your timing by taking cover of of timing housing slacken x3 10mm bolts and turn pump sprocket back a little with a 22mm socket (I think) mark it all first as there is only a small amount of adjustment. Only takes 5 mins...

No play at all now, clonk is where the wheel drops, 2 friends of mine have rocked truck side to side (combined weight of 35 stone) no noise at all but if u drive off a kerb it's there

Hi guys, having a slight issue with my defender, i had some play when rocking drivers side wheel up and down (not side to side) I noticed play in bottom pin so both top and bottom pin replaced, bearing and railko bush changed, put back together with x2 shims and problem remained the same took...

Well after stripping power steering box down to find no faults and checking all joint etc again, my neighbour popped over to tell us all that the drop arm was hitting the steering guard which ad been perfectly bent, boy do I feel like a wally. Lol. Thanks for all help anyway, at least my...

I will try first thing in morning. Cheers

Yes it is stright ahead, that's what confusing me, I could understand if not stright as something may have slipped but dead stright, as I say 2 full turns of steering wheel to left and only 1 to the right

Not that I can see, I initially thought that I may have rounded one of the linkages but there is no play when enging off and attempting to steer, would have thought it would have slipped again under pressure

No all stright, no play anywhere, not hitting stop nuts, cannot work it out

Ok, so I have been reading quite a few threads and have found one which states a rumbling noise and rear braking on over run, these are the exact symptoms I have, James Martin said pinion bearing as I have also been told, question is what are the chances of me having the same problem with two...

Not yet going to do prop removal on tuesday as james said, no play up/down side/side play though

Ok, so I have increased tyre pressures to 40psi, and fault still there but not as bad ( ? Not as much resistance), it's like the rear wheels are not as free running and braking the vehicle slightly, i checked wheel bearings and seem ok, only other thing I noticed is there is slight play on a...

I am going to try and swap wheels just to ellinamite but don't think it is as is very intermittent, it never happens at an exact speed or on a specific road, makes no diffrence if it's wet or dry, if there was a slight pattern then maybe I could point to tyres, will try though as another...
