The seal on my front diff where the front prop shaft joins is leaking badly. I want to replace it but see that a cylinder is needed to knock the new one back in. Can anyone tell me what diameter of tool is needed for this?

I recently fitted a new hand brake cable to my defender 90. The hardest part was getting the rubber end through the hole in the hand brake lever. It was a nightmare. I tried grease, but it was still a nightmare. Does anyone have any advice in how to make the job easier? I may be removing the...

The brake warning light on my Defender 90 TD5 dashboard has come on. The fluid level is fine and the brakes appear to be working as normal. When I push the switch on the handbrake lever with my finger the light still stays on. Does anyone know what this could be?

The hand brake on my Defender 90 Td5 2004 is sticking and the lever us bouncing up when I release it. I plan to open the drum to see if muck is the issue. Is it safe to use WD40 on the springs etc, or should I only use brake cleaner?

According to Rimmers, Paddocks etc my 2004 Defender 90 RHD should have a straight Panhard Rod but mine has the version with the kink in it. It looks fairly original and I think it will need replacing soon. Has anyone else found this?

I need to change the front diff pinion oil seal (behind the flange that connects to the forward prop). It looks like a pig of a job. Most people seem to use a piece of tubing to knock the new one in with. Can anyone tell me the diameter of pipe that I will need? As far as I can see there is not...

My Defender 90 TD5 turns over fine, starts right away however there is a lag of 4/5 seconds before the engine picks up to full revs. This only happens when it has been sitting for a while such as first thing in the morning. Has anyone else experienced this or know what the likely cause could be.
