as was suggested, i swopped the front that had a split in it with the spare and the problem disappeared immediately. I then took it to local equivalent of kwik fit and was told it is fine to run different makes of AT's (they almost look the same and are same size etc) and until I need new...

yeah, I knew that!!! :doh:

there is a small split about 2cm long in sidewall of one of front tyres. I can't see that it'd make that much of a problem- but as you stated above it does!! was thinking if i change it for the spare (although it is a different make of AT tyre) then I presume if it was that then it would...

thanks for idea is there any use getting wheels balanced again then?

between 45 and 55mph, my 110 has serious steering wheel wobble. It feels as if the whole of the steering components are going to shake themselves off!! BUT if I accelerate hard to 60mph then it isn't half as bad and then is ok when I sit as this speed. If I hit 70mph it comes back but more...

anyone know what size socket do i need for the hub locknut - will a 2 " fit? I measured it at just over 51mm (not quite 52mm) - a 2" is 50.8mm. or do i need to purchase "special" hub socket from paddocks or the like? torque setting is 65nm and i was wanting to be precise when doing it up

not sure i understand the above either. How could this be a driveshaft problem? last time i greased them (at beginning of november) they didn't seem to have any excess play in them.

thanks so far. tomorrow I will jack it up to see if wheel bearings are the problem first. read somewhere that if it's the wheel bearings then the wheel will not rock in 3 and 9 o'clock positions if you have brake pedal depressed (need a friend for this one!). If it still does, then probably...

front tyres seem fine. I've not noticed this happening for that long - seems to have suddenly gone a bit odd. presume then that until i know for sure about swivels then there is no point pulling the rest of it apart.

I have noticed that when I steer round corners that initially the steering wheel feels ok and then it suddenly goes loose as i am turning (i.e. the wheel starts turning too quickly and easily.) I read my trusty manual and decided to check wheels for movement. I found on drivers side that the...

haven't you got more excuse for leaving the road as you have had way more of the white stuff than we have on the welsh borders?

so was I - it is a tarmac road in north east wales though and is a great fun road in any weather

Hope these attachments work Got the van out of the ditch, and got given a free lock knife by him as a reward!! (I forgot to take one apparently!!) This isn't actually the route to tesco - please don't tell my other half !!

just been on an expedition to tesco - drove the long way home up the steepest, snowiest, quietest roads I could find in the snow my landy is beautiful

At least then i won't sound like a tractor when I see family etc at christmas and new year!! I'll have to get it done asap - maybe wednesday or thursday or saturday or... before I get stopped!

I was thinking: quick fix now, and I've got 6 months till July to check if ok for MOT. Saves some cash leading up to christmas!!

thanks for finding it!!!!!!!!! I just thought, is my wading depth going to be severely reduced? and can I just put straight section in?

been looking on internet - is centre section box the cat? or is it a silencer? not changed exhaust on a defender before, so not sure about it all yet!

I had a little hole in my exhaust back in June. So I patched it for the MOT. Got through fine. Then I heard it blowing again - and patched it again. then I heard it blowing for a third time. So (having driven for a few days) after it stopped raining, I looked underneath to patch it again...

I tried to find couple of lanes just beyond llangollen in froncysyllte. found one end of one which went into a field as map suggested, but couldn't see way out of the other side (it wasn't a particularly large field). I kind of got the impression that it was deliberately not marked/ obvious to...
