Thank you, really appreciate your input. I'm new owner so finding my way.

Looking around there are very few petrol models. I plan to spend more time and money on it but want to ensure I'm not throwing good money after bad so to speak.

Thanks for response. What swung it for me was new reconditioned engine fitted 3000 miles back. Previous owner spent £5k on this with new carb, starter, alternator, etc.etc

OK thanks but I tried prising the flange away from the assembly with the circlip in place but no luck.

My first defender. Trying to remove rear drive shafts on my 1987 defender 90 so that I can assess rear diff etc. Removed drive flange and circlip but shafts only move by about 5mm. Do I have to remove whole brake drum and backplate assembly first?
