...well there's also the environment to think about :D

err...is it suicidal for me to confess that I've just bought a 200tdi from a defender. :5bblush5: I know...I know...I'm really sorry, but I just couldn't bring myself to start changing engine mounts on a new chassis - will teach me to think harder before I buy the next time. going to run...

Crossed wires with fuzz-o I think!:) ...anyway. I took the half shaft out like you suggested and the diff flange turns free with no effort. I put half shaft back in and found it tightened quite a bit but still reasonably low effort to turn. I pulled it out just a few mm and it made a fair...

I dont have anything bolted to the side that's not turning freely - just the stub axle.

Building up my 90 with a new chassis etc -almost at rolling stage but not quite finished the front axle. Having just stripped and rebuilt both swivel joints, and new cvs and bearings/seals to front hubs, I am now in the process of what I thought would be the pleasant reassembly - should have...

I didn't even get as far as fitting them! I bought a britpart pack from paddocks. They come split on one side for fitting, along with a tube of glue for fusing the split once on. I sat holding the two sides together for a good 5 mins - glue wouldn't bond. Tried several times and in the end gave...

....and anything that grinds your balls can't be good :D

Grrrr...what a bloody waste of money they were!! :mad: Not recommended! A.

Hi all, I am currently rebuilding my 90 from bottom up. I have a bit more to do before I complete the rolling chassis, so starting to think about which engine to fit. I originally had a 200tdi in mind, but as this is a hobby vehicle I am thinking about going V8. As you will all know, there...
