Hi all. I'm trying to fit new uj bearings into a series 3 front prop but it's not going well, I think I have the correct parts rtc3346 82mm but after much swearing and struggling am of the opinion they're too big. The bearings measure a tad under 82mm but the measurement between the snap-ring...

I saw the thread you mentioned, it did look a poor job. To repair my door in the pic I used offcuts from work. I was lucky with the sections as they were a good fit and Galvanized. Front doors are my next job, they seem to be in better condition than the back. Hoping to go on a vehicle...

Thanks TheQ . I really need a new door as the skin has had it, did repair for practice. She's an old Welsh Fire Engine hence the red!

I have just repaired the rear door on my 110 and did not need the repair sections I had purchased, if anyone wants them for free they are more than welcome. Location Spixworth Norwich.

Thanks very much for all your help. I will get some ordered. wtmvm.

Thanks for the swift reply Marmaduke. I think I'll have it then. My 19j only has 73000 on it as its an old welsh fire engine, but i gather it's not the best engine for a Defender. wtmvm.

Hi everyone. I have a quick question regarding an offer I have been given. A friend has a Disco and has offered me the engine gearbox and transfer box for my 1988 110. It's a 300 tdi complete with everything except the radiator. The clutch is knackered but I would have replaced it anyway. He...

Hello. I'm a new member from East Anglia hoping to purchase my first Land Rover soon. I have around 4k to throw away on a new toy, haven't got a clue what to look for or what my hard earned cash can get me! I would like a Defender 90 although would consider and have room for a 110. Any...
