    Unusual Project, Not Many Like it

    I was actually trying to sell it for the wife of a friend of mine, he died and she didn't know what to do with it, after a while she decided that she wanted to hang on to it. She wanted to have it restored but I'm not sure if that will ever happen.

    fl2 rear wheel bearing

    Haven't done a rear one, but I did the front last year. I bought the whole assembly, the bearing can be changed but you must be careful as the vehicle uses the bearing to sense the wheel rotation, and if you get it wrong then there are problems with traction control.

    What have I done

    That was also a factor in my decision, I owned it for 8 years and did lots of work on it, but I was using it less and less so I decided that it might be time to move on.

    Yes when I get it all sorted I'll put them on here. Keep thinking of stuff I have around the place, and it will probably take a while,

    Defender 90 TD5 - Whistle on over-run

    If it only happens with the engine loaded then it could be the turbo. My exhaust manifold started to blow slightly but that produced a squeal, and it was worse when the engine was pulling.

    Td5 injector slide hammer

    When you re fit the injector take care to clean the injector and the seat very thoroughly, I always stick the washer onto the injector with a little bit of grease so it wont fall off and get damaged.

    Td5 injector slide hammer

    The TD5 injectors just sit on a copper washer and come free with a small amount of force. BUT they are inside the rocker cover, if you turn it over with the cover off then it will spray oil all over the place ( Ask how I know), and I would worry about the clamps if it actualy fired

    I rang one of the national tyre fitters and asked for any tyres 215 /75 16r and he said he could not fit van tyres to my vehicle, I didn't bother to explain.

    Freelander 2, 16" wheels

    I drive it pretty conservatively so I don't need racing tyres, I was looking at Avon, or Goodyear. The 16" ones were continental they didn't seem to last well, but it's impossible to find an alternative make in that size without using van tyres.
