My first job was to fix the play in the steering on my 1991 defender. Here's what happened so far: -Castle nut came off ball joint ok, drag link went off easy! -Nut for drop arm was solid. 20 mins of going for it only to get it loose after I started to heat it up via the angle grinder on the...

It took 3 hours and it's still not off. The nut took 10 mins! I angle grinded the side of the arm, still got more to cut, I broke a flat hammer in it too.

Hi, I knew on mine it was not right. Check out a quick YouTube Google and see what it should look like. Also see if it can hold in the up position maybe?

That was my next question, thanks for the advice on make! It's a 1/5 spanner job in the Haynes. That's my level! Looking forward to it! Just wondering where's the best place to get a Delphi or LR part online? Will check my local 4x4 garages and euro parts. Many thanks on the advice!

Cool thanks for the reply. Will look into replacing it. I'm going to change the drop arm tomorrow. That's my first job on it!

I have a 1991 200tdi 110 defender. 218,000 on the clock.

Hi, Been driving the past few days and there was a ticking noise that got faster with the revs (and quite oddly less in 3rd). I opened the bonnet (baring in mind I'm very much a novice with engines) and saw that in time with the ticking noise was this small arm on what I now know to be the...

Photos look great. Just wondering about the doors, what mod has he done to the door card? Also are the webbing straps the retaining straps?

Thanks for your help!

Cool will try that many thanks! For a while I thought it was totally stuck, goes 4 inches only. Then I gave it a small wiggle and boom, it came up easy!

Just about to lock the defender, the window is all the way down. Went to close it and it and the handle would only turn a few revolutions, then it got really tight and stopped turning. The window would only close 4 inches. Any help would be great thanks.

Just seen the replies, sorry for my late reply:! It's a 200tdi. That upgrade sounds interesting. Not even heard about that. Thanks for the help everyone!

Many thanks.

Great idea. Will do that!

Going to visit my friend who has a bay VW and he's going to show me how to fix this.

Will post some pics today.

Ace thanks Niall, that link looks the perfect resource! Thanks Harry, I love the never ending jobs, it's good fun investigating. Will research the lift pump once the steering is fixed.
