Hey, the swivels and everything good on that front axle?

Wanting to buy a front axle for a 200tdi Defender or compatible in good condition to replace current one with worn swivels. Live in the Cumbria area willing to travel up to 100 miles to collect.

I will give them a go this weekend. Have to fit a bonnet release cable now too as it snapped off

Have an issue with my headlights and sidelights flickering quickly when the engine is running, more noticeable on idle than under load. They are fine when the engines off. I suspect it maybe the alternator on the way out as it's a britpart one, but I recently had my fuel pin changed and engine...

Sanded back the old paint which was 2k and had gone orange peel texture when applied so sanded it smooth. Filled with Alli filler and grinded back areas with rust. Primed over the filled areas and then treated the bare steel with red oxide. I used a compressor and gravity fed gun to apply around...

Spot on. Used to be a window cleaners van so it was warped to buggery

Its a rack, think I picked it up from rdx/boltonbits on eBay, they're pretty cheap

Recently fitted some windows and resprayed the landy so gonna throw a few pics up here of progress as some peeps like myself like to see them... Stripped interior... Oh, hey! Windows in... And onto painting... Poor bugger... Ready for paint! Painted on, Gazebo flew away And the...

Gonna be painting my Defender with Plasti Dip in a few weeks time but I was gonna fill a few screw holes from old bits of kit or chequer plate that is no longer on the vehicle. I was thinking of applying QuickSteel to the front and back of the screw holes and then sanding it flat when it had...

I didn't do metal work in my GCSE's

And looking at other chassis's it looks as though my outriggers are different, they don't taper up. Anyone know any other type of bracket I could use?

Got these front mudflap brackets for my defender, went to fit them today but can't figure out where they mount to. I thought they would be drilled through to the outrigger but they don't sit the mudflaps straight if they went that way. Here are some pics... front and rear of the outrigger...

Got a couple of K Switches to use with my front and rear spot lights, the old switches used only 3 pins however the new ones use 5 pins. An extra couple for the LED's in the switch itself. Can I just splice some wiring into my existing wire or will I need to find myself some new ground and...

Went ahead and did it, it did fit. Just. Need to fit some spot lamp switches yet.

Morning chaps, Got an RDX centre console http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/m/mHDyUpZbmHJQbL34jAB_E5g/140.jpg and was thinking of I could mount a doubt din radio in the lower portion. I have seen people cutting their dashes to mount cb radios in raptor dashes. There looks to be enough length to...

If they were they would be going into the back of a Landy's crossmember! Not a good outcome for them :D

Hahaha., some of you guys can be cocks sometimes with those answers! It maybe the belt yeah, I think it mainly is during the rain to be honest. Need to buy myself a crowbar or something to put a little more leverage onto the alternator to get that belt tighter. It seems to need to be tighter...

No idea, mechanic did it when he was swapping my chassis! So... 'Professionally' tightened ;)

Been getting this squeal randomly, had it a few times today though. I thought it was just an alternator belt that needed tightening at first but hearing it with the window down it sounded like it was coming from around the passenger side front wheel. The bearing for that wheel had been...

Thanks for the info and product link. I think my roof is fiberglass, maybe it was a pick up at some point and has been converted, wondered why I didn't have the windows in the roof like all the others do :p
