Ill check mine again but I'm sure it doesn't. It's got three lugs on it but no notch in any of them

If you're against replacing anything original with new parts then owning a Land Rover isn't for you

Looking at that it is odd that your rear wheels are out of toe by the same amount but surely the front wheels can't then be aligned to 0 toe using the rear wheels as a guide

Disconnect the drag link from the pitman arm. Turn wheel fully one direction and put a tape mark on the top of the wheel. Turn back in the other direction using the tape mark and counting turns to work out the full range of motion. Turn it back...

Are you sure you don't have this. It is just a cast slot on the back of the arm, the new ones for sale still have it (image below from an ebay ad for a new one). This allows you to put a correctly sized drill bit (do not ask me what size) into...

Thanks all. I managed to find this (see attached) which gives a good idea of somewhere to start and the correct drop arm position. It's kinda for their heavy duty conversion kit but is applicable to standard set ups. Unfortunately I don't have...

I'll also need to find out how I can correctly determine that the drop arm and steering box is in the dead centre straight ahead position. Steering wheel isn't anything to go by unfortunately

Here's mine from a while ago ... Any help ?

Does anyone know the correct settings for doing the tracking properly? Toe in or out settings and where the drop arm should be pointing. I know that with the wheels in the straight ahead position the drop arm should be slightly to the offside but...

Checked the swivel preload (again) and filled both front hubs up with nice new grease. Changed the a frame balljoint (what a **** of a job), tightened the rear right wheel bearing, replaced the UJs on the rear prop, tried to see why my rear diff...

Haw!

Check continuity on the horn connections coming from the switch. If you get an open circuit when you press it then the switch is buggered

Earth issues. I had this with my fuel and temp guages where they would fluctuate by themselves with the fuel guage occasionally dropping to zero despite plenty fuel in the tank. It was especially apparent with the side lights on. Not only did I...

Get a 110, it'll make life a lot easier

This stuff. I got it at The Spray Store in Motherwell. They recommended 2.5ltrs for the 90 at a 2:1 mix with standard thinners for spraying. £70 inc the vat.

Done the front propshaft UJs and refitted it then sealed a leak (hopefully) on the transfer box. Discovered that my rear prop now needs the UJs doing but that's a tomorrow job and with that off it'll let me sort out that diff flange leak as well.

Nice colour. I was considering painting mine green and you might have swayed me. What paint are you using?

Thoughts on my colour choice ???

Painting the 90 over the last couple of days. It’s going from white to a kind of olive green. I’ve got the roof, rear roof side panels and doors off and painting them all while they are off, but the bodywork was so hot yesterday I’ve ended up...

I got mine from Gwyn Lewis, I'm lucky in that he lives a couple of villages away so I dropped in and one of his friendly daughters helped me out! Honestly, I think this might solve your problem, keep us updated! Good luck...

I might need to try this as I'm still getting that rattle and wobble through the steering and can't think what else to change. I'll see if my local motor place can get one in for me as they always have good brand name stuff anyway

I had almost this exact same issue not so long ago, exacerbated when towing. I replaced my drop arm ball joint, which impoved it, but was still getting a strange feeling through the steering going into corners hard or towing, I checked...

........... knew such a thing existed. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/376237746628

Mine has the type that just clips in, never seen yours before. Even my 86 plate 90 didn't have those

Drop arm balljoint done. Absolute piece of cake of a job, especially when you've got the right tools. Dunno what all the faff is about lol. New panhard rod bushes pressed in and that'll be going on tonight. The Febi ones are great quality and...

That is why I have a low amp fused bypass on mine. Enough to keep things powered, radio, tracker, alarm etc, but as soon as you turn the ignition on and the glow plug tray kicks in the fuse will blow! You just need something similar for the alarm...

I ordered a remote battery cut off relay as extra security, fitted it and it worked really well until I realised that neither by tracker or alarm worked 😒. It promptly got taken back off and I could have rewired both directly to the battery but...

I hope you get there mate. Sounds like a proper nightmare.

Yeah that's mine in the video. Everything else is solid besides that and when id taken it off the rubber had become detached. No idea what's going on but I've ordered a poly set and I've also managed to get a febi set from my local motor place...

There aren't that many earth points and the loom behind the dash is accessible. The dash is easy to remove and if it means getting better access to solve your problem then it's worth it. It sounds like a short to me though but it may not be...
