LRO have run a couple of articles recently on prepping for trip to Norway and Sweden, they were not to bad. I did seven winters in Norway while serving n the Royal Marines. Make sure your heater is damn good and your heated windscreen works well, then make sure you insulate your truck. Around...

Thanks for all the input guys. Watched a couple of videso on You Tube last night from Paddocks on exactly how to do it so I will be ordering the parts shortly and getting to it asoon as I have made myself a transmission jack. Will try and remember to post the pictures on my page when I am done...

Thanks to both of you guys. Finally, how big a job is it to swap it out? This 90 is my daily driver for work so the job needs to be able to be done in a weekend!!!! Any top tips you guys have would be appreciated. Cheers

No mate it's pretty much continuous, even when it's in gear and she is running, although it's a lot quieter when in gear. As soon as it's in neutral and me foot is off the clutch it sounds totally normal.

Hey guys, spent my entire lunch at work looking at threads on this subject and could not find a reason.:confused: So far I have fixed the drive train rattle and the transmission thunk. One was suspension upsetting the geometry of the axle and the thunk was sorted with new half shafts and drive...

Yeah I had a look at the front prop and that seems to be fine. Gonna check the simple stuff this weekend and make sure its not that before it all goes wrong and gets expensive. Cheers

Thanks Maximan, I will check that out. I like the thought of it being something cheap like that. Like I said to DaveM-sport I hear it when my foot comes off the gas but it stops when I depress the clutch. It sounds like it's coming through the transmission tunnel, but I can't be sure. I can get...

Hi Dave, I notice it when mostly in 4th and fith when I come of the throttle but dont put the clutch pedal down, sort of engine breaking realy. most noisey in 4th and 5th when slowing up on the M4 for those annoying speed restrictions at rush hour.:o

Hi Guys, Just completed a 2 inch lift On my defender 90. prior to lift I would get a good clunk at the rear as the drive chain was engaged. I completed the lift and it got worse. I also got a noisey rattle from drive trainbut only when easing back off the throttle. :mad: Checked both Propshafts...

Suspension lift almost complete and my 90 is looking great. Put some 265/75/R16 on some old steel modulates I have had for a while. It looks great but ain't driving to well at the moment. Got a set of QT cranked radius arms to get fitted next which should improve things a bit. Wheels are...

Cheers Albert, keep me posted mate. I should be swapping out the suspension in the next two weeks as soon as I can get some time. Cheers

Thanks for the responses guys. So I could get away with it but it would be better to have the cranked trailing and radius arms and the extended brake lines. With ref to the drive shaft, i take it that will need to be replaced as well at some point. Any suggestions for that. Cheers

Albert, thanks for the reply. So you are just running with plus 2inch springs and shocks without the cracked radius and trailing arms? You had any issues when off road with standard length brake lines? Cheers

Hi guys, it's been a long time since I have used this forum, but here goes I recently bought my first defender, it's nick name is Shaky, for the obvious reasons. Anyway I have a set of two inch lift dampers and coils from an old rangie classic. Think I can get the cranked radius arms and...

Thanks sierafery, all to doing all this. But quickly Getting to love it. Will be starting work on her on Friday will kleptocracy you posted. Cheers

Hi guys, A garage in my home town did some serious work on my disco and had to drain the aircon. They forgot to refill it and I was unaware until it got hot:mad: Sent it to a land rover specialist for a full service and fix a leaking centre diff. came out all all was good in my world for a few...

This has probably come up before but as I am new to the site I thought I would ask anyway:D I have just done a complete oil and filter change as well as the coolant. Before I did this I had issues with the heating and my auxiliary fan running from the moment I started here. Since the oil and...

Just a quick one to say hi as I joined the site last night. Will post a question later as my disco has an issue. Anyway look forward to using the site more and more. Cheers :eek:
