    Drop arm ball joint puller

    If you slack of the nut,(but don't take it off)then take it for a drive on a bumpy lane or field,the drop arm will usually come loose.

    Oil change. Gearbox, transfer box, axles.

    LOL..... Oh the joys of Land Rover ownership. A pressurised garden sprayer is good for filling the transfer box.;) Marc.

    Axle Rebuild with Ashcroft Lockers

    I agree with retro. You probably don't need to change the shafts & CV's,especialy if you have 24 splines fitted.Plus, H/D shafts only really necissary if you have BIG tyres & are giving it serious abuse off road. Marc.

    Axle Rebuild with Ashcroft Lockers

    As johnlad says,just stick an ARB compressor on,they are designed for the job,plus get a tyre inflator & you can pump the tyres up. I fitted a pair of Ashcroft lockers to my 90 around 10yrs ago,when it was a challenge truck.I've since converted it to an overland camper,so they don't get as much...

    1987 Def 90 Front Brake upgrade

    I did exactly this mod to my 1995 90 at the begining of lockdown,as I spend a lot of time in the Pyrennes,& on long descents I get a bit of brake fade. First impressions are good,but I've not had chance to put any miles on it yet...... Straight forward swap 110 disks & calipers,+ pads. Marc

    D90 with Roof Top Tent - ARB needed yes/no?

    I have a James Baroud RTT on my 90.It has a 2" lift & Gwynn Llewis extreme Suspension. When I first fitted the RTT,it would pitch from side to side whilst cornering.I did not want to fit an anti rollbar. So fitted 110 HD springs,it still rolls a bit when cornering,but,I've got used to it. Marc.

    Disco 4 (LR4) Anyone running Goodyear Duratracs? 255/55 R19

    I have had them fitted on my D3 for the last year. They have been well & truley tested on all terrains,mud,snow,gravel etc. I find them a very good all round tyre,slightly noisier at motorway speeds,but not intrusive. Marc.

    Fuel filter priming?

    OK! Just saying what I have always done when changing my fuel filter Marc

    Fuel filter priming?

    I don't think the fuel filter needs to be primed on a 300tdi.It's self priming. I certainly dont prime mine,except for filling it with fuel before fitting. Marc.
