online list gives you choice of timken (branded) or britpart. no "expensive" britpart

changed it for ya...

1.paddocks didnt give me that option 2.it was a temporary bearing to get me home from college (which i had in stock for about a year), where i would drive to paddocks as i live close and pick up a timken bearing

not to forget the 3 day old wheelbearing that nearly killed me. wheel +hub almost came off completely. (and yes i know how to do them before you say im a crap mechanic!)

first off, i did buy britpart. then i realised just how substandard these parts are. doors not fitting, new doortops going rusty very quick. brake and clutch components failing. brake shoes wearing out seemingly instantly, drums being out of round from new, bushes... dont even get me started...

new to what? spelling :) :welcome2:

they can take much more than that dont worry, heres mine. not sure what the nose weight on this is but its much more than a bike ;) series 3 towing a silage trailer - YouTube

as above. post up pictures of your series and a brief spec, for me and others to drool over ill start us off then 200TDI series 3 88", coiler diffs, overdrive, just undergone a full rebuild which took 13 days after a bit of a bump.

tractor and loader: great for removal. very nice and quick. ok for putting back in. i find though a minidigger is better for putting back in as i have worked out a way to rope it up so i have tilt control (can be done with loader tractor) but also i have side to side adjustment without...

nice to see another series getting some TLC :) im sure youll enjoy the project and driving it when completed

to get rid of play, take a shim or 2 out. there should be a bit of resistiance but smooth. im sure someone will come along or PM you with the right figures as your supposed to do it with a newton meter but i just do it by feel.

du bist ein gross karrotten? thats all i know. (i.e. you are a big carrot). never seemed to come into use in everyday conversation tbh

how did they get away with that then? on a road car(vehicle) there MUST be a mechanical linkage between the wheels and the steering wheel. hence why no car has hydraulic steering. if it fails it fails and at speed would kill! tractors have fully hydraulic steering but there is a speed limit...

the prototypes land rover made were on RRC chassis' anyway ive always liked the idea of a 100" defender.

i can guarantee things will seem to speed up now the bodywork is going on. its so satisfying.

as i can see from you picture... nice :)

pictures nicholas! and pressbrake, you said you made your own hose? would you be albe to do a couple for some beer tokens? ive never been happy with my top and bottom water hoses in my series TDI. i want one piece.

you dont even need that. if its a 200TDI defender you need PRC8230, youll have to doublecheck that it is the right part number because land rover work in strange ways, and might have a different switch, it just unscrews the tiny screwson the side of it then pulls out of the barrel steering...

got some new boots. but now my inner wings rub on them. darn... some adjustment may be necessary.

its not hard no. just for the amount of work to take the wings off, in fact i took them off complete attached to the slam panel so even easier. just means you can get right round the engine and its a lot easier to get at stuff like the starter solenoid etc.
