Nice living room 😂

Mine was done 18 months ago and level has barely moved

Todays job list: - Swap out front prop shaft for new - Top up fluids - Swap out front speakers for new set from Amazon which should arrive midday 🤞🏻

That was Rear.

Only managed to take it up and down the lane but early indications are that it has gone. As I've got it, I'll change the front over over the next couple of days as I'd assume it's in similar condition, but looking good.

Hadn't extended the new one. Fits and runs great.

Rear seems to be the worst but I’ve got both to do

Still working away but while the kettle is boiling, here’s what I’m on with.

Any recommendations for where to get replacement breather hoses e.g. the one here for the crankcase breather hose? Having a quick search around, some seem very expensive (could be they’re just out of stock and don’t want anyone buying them).

Have you drilled a big hole for the RR umbrella to go in? @Anaconda

Yes

Seems too regular a sound to be a clamp and they don’t seem loose

Educated guess is the propshafts so I’ve ordered both front and rear and will hopefully have a clear afternoon this week to replace them. Buying new wasn’t a huge amount more than having them rebuilt, and much quicker too.

Dropping this in somewhere tomorrow for them to take a look. Realised my trolley jack won’t work on the raised Defender. Another tool to add to the Spring shopping list.

Yes. Doesn’t make as much of a noise when I’ve got my foot down on the accelerator, but shows up when I’m at lower revs or ease off. Does not make the noise on idle. It does sound rotational and fairly “regular”

Abrasive is abrasive I guess 😀

That is a VERY good question @marjon . It has only gone into the engine oil (at the recommended dilution). The plot thickens. 😂

Another short clip here with the same rattle.

Grabbed a bottle of UV leak detection fluid from a mate, having cleaned up the underside with some degreaser. Under UV torch in the dark, this seems to be the offending area (at least the immediate one I can see). Will take more of a look in the daylight. Thought the UV photo may make...
