I cant fit the little metal insert inside the bracket on the axle. Should I be thinking about grinding off a mm or so? If not, is there a technique I'm missing?

Under my landy as I type this. I'm trying to replace the drop arm ball joint due to an mot fail. I can't get the lower Socket from the housing. Any advice hot to get it out? Or any reason I can't leave it in and just not use the new one?

I have a 1994 300tdi defender 90 with the r380 gearbox etc. if I wanted a rear PTO so as to power towed farm equipment, what would I need to make a PTO at the rear of my landy? Is there some bolt on thing that would come off the gearbox side of the transfer box (I.e. so I could power the PTO...

I need to replace the back box on my Fender 90 (300TDI). I think the back box has been delivered today (am at work at the mo) but as I've never done the job before, I want to know if there's anything I might need that I haven't thought of. A mate of mine suggested some kind of exhaust paste to...

Currently experiencing a slight loss of power in me landy (300tdi d90). I can pull away and bring the revs up, and hear the turbo kick in (faintly, over the usual noise, of course), but just before it's time to change gear, the power dips. It's not too bad driving locally, but when I want to...

OK, so I think my starter motor is starting to play up. For a little while now it occasionally fails to restart. I.e. I turn the key and everything happens as per normal except the solenoid doesn’t seem to kick out. The batteries and earths are fine (recently split charged it with brand...

So, I got to the bottom of my recent sudden starting problem. It would seem that my battery has decided not to hold a charge anymore. Charged it up to a full charge. It gave 13.5 volts. Left it in the garage overnight not connected to anything. It’s down to 10.5v. Water levels are fine, so...

Only three minors :cool: Well chuffed. I know this has nothing to do with Landrovers, I just felt the need to brag a little. Anyway, bragging over. I now need to find out why my fender has flattened its battery for no apparent reason. :(:scratching_chin:

I need to bend a piece of rectangular sheet steel, 770mm x 95mm as best I can in this profile. Its doesn't have to be perfect. TBH a couple of mm out in any of the measurements is probably fine. The gauge I've been using is around 1.4mm. Although 1mm to around 1.6mm would be fine also...

Hey, anyone with a Patriot roof rack, how high does it sit off the defender roof? Can you open the sunroof?

So, having found myself with a couple of spare hours, I decided that it was time to do the long overdue engine and gearbox oil changes that I'd had been putting off for far too long. Now the gearbox oil hasn't been changed since I bought the landy. Having done many an oil change on various...

I'd love a section for people to show off stuff they've made or had made. When people create threads for stuff they've made or are planning to make, it will quite quickly get lost down the page order of other chat, and quite often will be in a sub-forum specific to the vehicle they have. I'm...

Wish me luck:o

I took my landy to work yesterday (I usually take the car), not sure how cold it was, but it was pretty cold. The landy really seemed to be struggling to get to higher revs. I was literally flat out on the A12 at about 65, whereas it usually reaches 70 with ease. Apparently it was -11...

Have finally got everything I need to wire up an Anderson type jump start connector and to make up some jump leads. From what the comics say, most people just mount the connector on the battery box under the passenger's legs. I didn't really think this was the best place, as it seems strange to...

My LZ sticker arrived today. Thanks to whoever organises them. Looks top notch. :) Is thinking its slightly too big to go next to the tax disc, so am thinking one of the little rear windows will be perfect.

I've got an electric fan kit from bolt on bits waiting to go on. I think I'm fine fitting it all apart from one thing, the temp sensor thing. It comes with a T-piece type thing with the sensor in it. Do I literally cut through the tube at the top of the radiator with a stanley and slot this...

So I've made myself a light bar for my fender. Question is, where do you feed the wires into the cab? I'm sure I asked on here before, but I cant find the post. I remember someone said something about a rubber grommet. But where do you drill the hole? Does anyone have any pictures of where...

So, in the mists of replacing the tubular outriggers. Have already bashed the **** out of one of the replacements, as it refuses to slot into the hole of the old one. Today went out and bought a cheap die grinder kit from tool station. Need to get the rust out of the old tubes somehow, and...

So finally got a day to work on the Landy. Needed to change the fuel tank, as it developed a leak recently, and diesel is fecking expensive. In the process of cutting bolts and trying to get the old tank out, one of the rear mounting points snapped off the outrigger and stayed with the old tank...
