I am overhauling a Superwinch LP8500, and need a brush spring ( the one that looks a bit like a lughole). They don't seem to be trading now in the UK. Any suggestions where I could find one gratefully received.

As above, based in Suffolk, £120 If I can work out how to attach a photo I will

Does anybody know what this thread is? It's on the radiator fill / balance pipe, coming from the header tank. The rad is from a Disco, and none of my various pipe fittings fits. The local plumber shop can't help either. It seems not to be BSP. I need to fit a new bit of tube, but don't want to...

Changing the gear lever housing due to wear in the slots. I found the spring loaded nylon pad was on the side of the bias spring roll pin. In the workshop manual section 37 page 18 it says to ensure the pad is fitted on the opposite side. Did the previous guy know something I don't, or was he...

After a bit of a think, I am no longer looking for a DB hitch

As the title says, anyone have any experience of them? I have ordered some swivel seal kits from Mailorder 4x4 (very impressed with service BTW), and I was pleased that the parts were all in Bearmach boxes. My only question is the bearings, are they good enough? In an ideal world I'd have Timkin.

Well, not mine, but the body of a County 90. I'm looking at the best way to lift the body off when I change the chassis. I'm thinking of renting a small digger JCB type thingy, but need to have some idea of the weight. I have a tree above where it's parked, but will have to move the body across...

Well, it's that time of year again, but (I smugly thought) as I flew through with not even a single advisory last year, there shouldn't be any major problems this time. How wrong can you be? The chassis that last year was perfectly OK has apparently turned into a collection of holes held...

Newish drums and shoes, complete with standard diff, good nick, £75,00, in Suffolk

Yes, I know I'll be lucky, but no harm in asking. Happy to do a little de-rusting and patching if needed.

As per the title, I don't mind if it needs a little work. Based in Suffolk.

I'm looking for a fuel filler cap for my 1985 Defender, the large diameter two lug type. Anyone have one hanging around?

I found out that the clutch master cylinder was knackered (black fluid). I've replaced this, but now wonder if I should replace the brake master cylinder. They both seem to date from 1985, and of the two the brake MC seems to be the must safety critical. But, how can I get any indication of the...

Anyone heading to LZ12 along the M11 / A14 route? I should be towing my tin tent up the A14 on Friday morning, but aim to be at Cambridge by about 10:00. Anyone want to hook up? I will be on CB channel 16 (4x4, geddit??)

I've just had a refurbished LT77 Ashcroft gearbox fitted to my 90, together with a rebuilt tranny box. The garage fitted a spigot bush, but the clutch and slave cylinder were only about 4000 miles old, so these were untouched. Reverse gear is now much harder to change out of, with a very firm...

Looking for a small 'van, if anyone has one for sale in the Suffolk / Norfolk / Essex / Cambridge area. Under £2,000.

There are a few people travelling along the A14, and meeting up with the Kent and Essex convoy at Cambridge services. Current estimate of time is 10:30 on the Friday at Cambridge services. If anyone would like to add their name I would be happy to coordinate and distribute info. Flatlander
