Hi all, Been fitting the linkage for the diff lock and having issues getting it adjusted proper. There doesn't seem to be enough travel for the lever to engage the notches at each end. The lever moves back and to but doesn't quite reach each end. Is this actually an issue? Thanks Albert

Hi all, Whilst fiddling with the td5 fuel tank on my defender I noticed that it can slide side to side by about and inch. I've pushed some closed cell foam stable matting down each side for now. Will this be enough or will I need to get the correct parts. If so do you know the numbers for them...

Hi all, I'm coming to the stage in my rebuild where i'm getting ready to paint the first of the body panels. Since the start i've had my heart on painting it bright green similar to Kawasaki and broken up with a black roof and chequer plating, however i'm beginning to have second thoughts on...
