finally got round to digging into my diff selector issues, as suspected the linkage is not engaging on the transfer box and everything is a little seized up, i watched one of Britannica's videos on setting these up and he kept referring to a bush that sits on the arm you adjust for setting it...

Hi all I have a 2000 defender 90, one of my rear shock absorbers has broken and i have started looking at replacing it. It seems that there is a huge range of choice from a £20 aftermarket part to £100's for uprated stuff like Terrafirma and Bilstein stuff. I tend to use it for driving around...

I know this has been covered quite a few times, but i was hoping someone might have stumbled across something new and also the search function on the website doesn't seem to be working. My lower dash that runs the length of the bulk head is not in great shape, especially the end piece for the...
