Had mine knobblies balanced and still they vibrated at about 60 mph...only when I decided on a new set of road tread tyres and hey presto, no more steering wheel shaking.

£36 each so happy days :-) It's a 30 minute drive over there and they are very helpful...I'll probably take one hub/disc with me just to make sure I get the right disc/bearings ( if needed ) etc. Hands on :-)

That's OK..have the quote from LR in Liverpool for both sides etc etc; thanks :-)

Thanks guy's all greatly appreciated. So I need spare ( X 2 ) large outer hub bearing nuts in case of damage; ( 10X ) disc mounting bolts; perhaps ( X2 ) inner oil seals and ( X2 ) paper halfshaft flange gaskets? Bearings are fine etc and will be getting new calpiers/correct...

Thank you for those ( actually had them lurking on my hard drive !! ).... mine is obviously a later axle with the solid brake discs...just need to know if it is a simple bolt on jobbie ( usually are ) or do I have to remove any other gubbins and may need paper gaskets etc.

I own a 1989 90, which has in the past been fitted with rear discs. I recently serviced the rear calipers and found them a tad to shabby etc ( new pads won't be able to be fitted because of rusted pistons etc ). So I will be nipping over to LR in Liverpool to buy new calipers/pads...

Thanks guys, back to 5w it is :)

Probably a poor aftermarket holder but correct 10v ( I think but car at friends at the moment ! ) has to be tapped as it ocassionally doesn't come on. I have replaced them with standard 21v indicator bulbs and they are held much firmly and are obviously brighter. I'm crap at electrics but was...

Thanks guys....but had her cleaned up yesterday, went for a spin and now realize that a campervan can wait a little longer...as wifey want's to keep the Defender ! So thanks for all the replies and my apologies for messing you about.

Last owner also fitted 'Goodridge' style brake hoses and I fitted 1 inch quality wheel spacers :-)

Grab a cup of tea............................ Here we have ( in it's previous life ! ) a 1989 Land Rover 90 4C country estate which through a very talented last-owner-but-one is now a land Rover Defender 90 with a genuine Defender 200TDi Engine and now a genuine Defender transfer box ( more of...

Yes, brake pedal very firm with engine off but then goes a very short distance down when engine started.

When I brake hard, the pads grip well ( they are new ) but then the brakes feel hard to the touch and braking goes off as if pads are made of wood ! ( doesn't seem to do it all the time though ). When I fitted the new Ferodo pads, all the caliper pistons pushed back in ( and I have checked...

You are correct...panic attack now over :)

Daily Mirror has some sort of update....but I'm still flumixed as to how my 1989 200tdi powered 90 will cost ? Easier to put a link in here ( sorry ). http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/you-could-end-up-paying-9624861

Now sold thankyou :)

What's 370 miles when you really want something !!! :D Thanks for letting me know what it is called

Anyone, before I advertise elsewhere ? :-)

Not sure what these are called!! Will upload more pics if requested for buyers etc. Ratcheted height adjuster ensures correct contact before OP pushes down on the long handle ( with a trigger for release ) to quickly lift your axle. Heavy duty. Collection only from Wirral ( to big and...

I think you are right ! :-)
