Managed to get the prop shaft off, with only one rounded nut, unfortunately I had to cut the bolt off to release it. Whats the best way forward to re-attach the prop at the transfer end? Just use a bolt and nylock or pull the flange off to insert another bolt into it?

Where abouts are you located, might know someone who is interested.

This may be a stupid question, but is the UJ the same on both front and rear props, or is there a specific one for the front?

The good news is I've located the rattling noise, the bad news is its the front prop shaft. Can these be rebuilt or will it be easier just getting a full prop?

Finally, after months of work, I've managed to scrape this 90 through its MOT. Next things on the list are an oil and filter change, tidy up most of the body work, get a radio installed and carpet out the back. The other thing I noticed when driving it back from the MOT station is it has...

If they do write it off, never accept the first offer. If they don't budge, get them to do the leg work and find you an exact replacement vehicle to the one you had, they will soon backtrack and offer you what its at least worth to avoid hassle.

Managed to get the chassis rail done, however there was a lot of filler under there, which worries me somewhat. Only thing left is the rear cross member and N/S/F outrigger, then I can get on with protecting it. I've done my pre-MOT checks and everything else is spot on, which is a relief. A...

Looking forward to seeing how this rebuild pans out!

Just done a quick search and the Terrraforma TF055 looks like my next purchase!

Can you get a commercial styled winch bumper without the tray for the winch?

Not too much to report other than I have patched up the O/S/F outrigger, hopefully going to get the rear cross member done tomorrow. That will just leave the N/S underside chassis rail. Hopefully get more pics to go with the progress i've done so far!

Are these still for sale?

What would be your choice of rust resist primer? Also, would it be beneficial to wire brush everywhere first, then apply it? Hopefully if the weather is good I'll get more of the welding done Wednesday and Thursday. Other than that, I haven't got much else to do.

Its spent nearly all of its life on a farm and I don't think its been looked after other than scraping it through an MOT every year. The only reason I suggest Hammerite is because I can get it free from where I work. I've only been using it to cover/seal the welding I've done so far, but I'll...

In between all the welding and grinding I've been doing all the little jobs. So today I bought a new bulb for the rear indicator to sort that out. I need a little help identifying a part: The hose that goes from the rocker under the intercooler pipe has been shredded by the alternator...

Finally managed to grab some pics of the worst bits on the chassis. O/S/F out-rigger: O/S/R Cross-member: N/S Main chassis rail; side: And the worst of the lot; N/S/F Chassis leg: Apologies for the weird angles, I had to crawl under it to get them. Once all the welding is...

I saw those parts on Paddocks, but can't see anything for the front bumper section of the chassis. Whats the best way to go about doing the timing on a 200TDI?

Thanks for the input guys. Me and my mate (ex-Navy engineer) looked over the chassis and the main rails looked pretty sturdy, it was mainly small holes (20mmx20mm) on outriggers. The only real concern was the front section(s) that hold the bumper on were pretty far gone, can you buy...

I haven't got any on me, but will grab some the next time I get the Landy on the concrete ramp at work. It has spent most of its life on a farm, and when I was patching the front where the bumper connects to, I had to clear out a LOT of dirt. I've got a feeling its rotting from inside out. On...

Yes, it is mine, however having 3 different keys for 3 different locks is really annoying!! I've driven Defenders for a couple of years at work (Holiday Park, moving static caravans, which is why I wanted one when I saw how good they really are!), but this my first one I've owned and can enjoy...
