They are the correct bolts but failing that I'll have some spares kicking around somewhere. ill go have a look just now for some decent bushes, I'm not bothered about whether or not they're poly but hopefully there's a bit less to go wrong with...

They were aftermarket. After the first ones failed I went back to the seller and he sent me what to took to be some decent aftermarket ones. Clearly not. I either go for oem metalastic bushes or poly

The bolts are correct panhard rod bolts but even tightening it up to 110nm made no difference. It was already ft as they were only supposed to be 88nm. I took the rod off and there's a tiny bit of slack when the bolt goes through the bottom bush...

On looking back at that video and another I just took it's moving within the bush itself. Not the mounting points on the tie bar or axle

They're torqued to spec, they shouldn't be moving at all. I don't recall the holes being ovalled but I'll remove it and check

I tried to upload a video but can't. I got my missus to rock the steering back and forth and everything is solid except for the panhard rod. The amount of movement in the bushes, especially the one at the steering box end, is ridiculous. I took a...

The angle of the bulkhead will change the angle of the steering column. The UJs can obviously compensate but I would imagine only so much as they still need to be able to take into account the movement of the chassis

You are just going to have to start at the beginning and check redo everything from the radius arm to chassis bush forward. Mark each bolt with paint to show any future movement. This includes stripping down the swivels and resetting the shims...

Im annoyed because I've got a genuine LR one acquired from the army many years ago and I've no idea where it's gone. The one I bought was 8 quid so hardly going to be outstanding quality but it's the last thing I can possibly change. Do you think...

Mud UK do good door cards for series and military doors. I've got them on both fronts and the rear and they look smart. Had them for years and they're still solid

Is anyone able to suggest anything more on this before i drive it into a wall - literally and figuratively. I've now replaced the steering damper and the rattle through the steering, which was getting much better and although hardly noticeable...

Don't fit series 3 latches, fit the anti burst type lift up handle latches used on military doors/later series. You'll obviously need to buy strikers too but they'll fit fine.

Is anyone able to recommend an internal roll cage or roll bar for a 110 hard top that doesn't cost a fortune?

Never been able to find an actual figure with the seal and brake disc on, everyone I read is different. I even asked Britannica Restorations what figure he suggested for it and he said dunno as he's only ever done it on a vice without the disc...

. Remove the front wheels, remove the track rod and drag links and using a set of luggage scales check how much it takes to pull the hub lock to lock. What that reading should be seems to be completely different for each motor but you're looking...

I wouldn't assume. Also they're really bloody awkward to get right, even Landy mechanics and experienced owners need to play about with it just to get them correct (Christ knows how they done them in the factory). But if I were you I'd double...

Unless his UJs are absolutely gubbed I can't see them having so much slack that he's got an inch of play either way. Like yours mine is spot, a slight movement of the steering wheel when driving translates directly to the wheels. If he had the...

Have you correctly set the swivel preloads?

Got in about it with a wire brush on the grinder mate. A few coats of paint and it looks great. The rust will come back though, but it’s way better than it was.

Did you paint the frame or fit a new one? Mine is rough, asked YRM if it's something they would consider doing and they said no not at the moment which seems a bit daft to me considering it always rusts to hell.

Don’t know yet, as It’s not been back on the road. Looks good though 😁

I bought quite a few rolls of this for doing my roof, sides, rear door etc... super cheap, super sticky and works really bloody well. The difference in noise before and after is noticeable and it's also made a huge difference in the insulation as...

300 quid!? Jesus, all that for a piece of steel tube that rusts within a week

It’s not a steering protector at all…it’s a hand rail for getting under it/ back out under it when those brutes break down 😎

What's the spacers for? Take them off and refit the wheels and see if it makes any difference

Update on this. I've now replaced the radius arm bushes and panhard rod bushes with genuine pattern parts and while I think it does feel a bit smoother on the road I've still got the same issue, albeit I don't think as bad. Redid the swivel pin...

Just the bog standard ones, I don't tend to fit polybushes
