Thanks everyone for the advice, went back underneath today and compared the two props. Not sure how I missed it but after feeling how tight the new rear is I realised I missed a huge amount of play in the front. How I missed that before I truly dont have a clue

without the front prop wouldn't all the power still be trying to be sent to the front, power always takes path of least resistance? so i'd just be sat there not moving? yeah I think the best bet will be to drop the prop and give it a feel. cant imagine its death wobble as its not something you...

Well I did go underneath and it didnt seem that bad on either prop but for the low cost of some new ujs I did it anyway. Maybe I was missing something when I gave them a wiggle?

Hi all, My defender started producing this really heavy vibration around 35 until 45mph. So I went online and ordered some new rear ujs as I thought that would be it. Fitted them and went for a drive and its still there albeit not as bad now. Just unsure what my next steps should be? Many thanks

that is the sad reality, currently been driving my grandparents old car instead of the defender for uni. Its a lovely comfortable car that makes the 5hr journey a relative breeze but still sad coming home to a defender wrapped up on the drive not being able to drive it. without wanting to...

sad to hear, was thinking of bringing mine up to sheffield (uni student) but this has certainly made me think otherwise. Even with security mods id be worried. Or maybe its not as bad as everyone thinks?

thanks, sadly a roof tent is no where near doable on a student budget! That would however make this alot easier. Would you happen to have some pictures of your setup? Curious how stable it is?

Speaking to an Aussie bloke the other day at the pub who's been travelling europe for past few months has made me itching to do similar when i'm out of university. I'd love to take my defender round Europe and want a way to sleep in it when camping/hostel is not an option. How have people...

Another update, check the right hand side and its been done correct way up that side. Odd that who ever put my truck together got it wrong on only one side. Its a cat something and since getting it I dont think a month has gone by without spotting a bodged job. Pretty sure the left hand side...

Well, thats not what I expected. Cant tell if im relived or more worried now? I cant work on my truck for a while, reckon its still safe for the next month or so? Weird that been offroading, general driving for years and its never had an issue

They look a bit rusty and slightly cracked but cant figure out if this is gonna cause any issues? Id rather replace now if its gonna cause it to fail. also, any ideas if these are standard springs? The front my truck sits significantly higher then the rear does, and I wonder if they are the...

Oh you oldies have no appreciation for quality bass tunes

I think I can fit my subwoofer, in the new box, in the space used for a seat on the rear arch. Any suggestions for correct fixing?

thanks, yeh the subwoofer was just a temporary solution. I put grills on them so that the woofers is on the strap, gonna build a new box and go down to just the one sub. At the time the discovery was only £1250, it was a good deal at the time

Oh how I envy you, I just got my wipers fully working, they parked in the right spot everytime, and my washer jets worked finally. Now ive got to take it apart again, bloody truck, waste of my life. Maybe I should go buy something sensible like a Toyota? ;)

HI all, been a member of the forum for a few years now and have since inherited my families defender 90 for my birthday last year. (I know, spoilt brat) Me and my dad have been working on this 90 for the last 3/4 years, using just for offroading every month (at best) and some light work pulling...

Hi everyone, It feels like every 5 minutes im on here to post about another issue, oh the joys of land rover ownership. I recently replaced my park switch on the wiper motor as it had clearly failed, stops wherever it likes and would blow a fuse after heavy use. Had the dash out swapped it...

sort of yeh, So from what I gather from research online its the wind coming up through the gap between light bar and windscreen that is pushing on the cooling fins of the light bar. these fins then start to vibrate alot and make a really awful high pitched noise. Never knew it could be an issue...

So surprisingly after a very quick diagnosis from my local mechanic and £30 quid later, it was the light bar on the roof, so they removed it. Bit peeved that I just spent £30 for them to do something I can do. Anyway, googled it and it appears to be somewhat common issue with large light bars...

it happens when in neutral, coasting. Whatever just above 30. Nothing is affecting it just speed
