    How to fit an Ipod input or aux jack to 110 Defender 2008

    Dont get an FM transmitter the sound quality is appalling get the modulator that plugs in line there fine. My mother in laws CD changer works through one, never had to re tune it due to interference either locally or when on holiday all over the south coast.

    V8 Oil Filler - does end matter?

    I can't see it making too much difference provided they physically fit and clear everything. Make sure when you fit them that the oil can get to the oilways around the head and they should be fine.

    First car suggestions plz

    Excellent choice of marque sir. Use one of those compare sites to get some quotes first kid. I suspect series 3 will be cheapest option insurance wise and you maybe able to get it on classic insurance. Diesel will always be easier to maintain and run although Landrovers will never return MPG...

    any damage done

    Your CV joints are inside the swivels could be that which is knackered. Possibly wheel bearings if the leaking oil has gotten to them and contaminated the grease. How long has it been leaking?

    discovery banging when turning

    I'd expect dodgy steering and to feel knocking through the steering wheel with the swivels weather on lock or driving straight especiallly on rough roads (read all british roads lol) so I'd suspect both maybe faulty only way to know for sure is to stip and inspect if your doing one job your...

    discovery banging when turning

    Swivel bearings then... Kits available from Paddocks and the like - you'll need a Haynes manual too as theres a proceedure for setting them up involving measuring the 'weight' of steering pull using a spring balance ( not a complicated as it sounds ) .

    Baaaad vibration ??

    How do you feel the vibration is it whole car through the steering or pedals?? Radius arm bushes would cause the front axle to rotate as you apply torque or brake and could cause vibration and or bad steering.

    Windscreen washer jets..

    I think peugeot or citreons use jets on the blades type system - find your self a scrap yard and have a look see if they are adaptable. I think it would be no more than some simple plastic tubing to plumb them in.

    discovery banging when turning

    Just had similar problem with mine turned out to be wheel bearings although it could also be your CV joint breaking up. To test for wheel bearings jack up the suspect wheel clear of the ground and check it spins freely with no rumbling or grinding sounds. then grab it top and bottom ( 12 and 6...
