I dont have the direct link to hand but Ashcroft certainly mention removing the half shafts oil seal if you're fitting flanges with screw on caps. I assume someone here has done just that? Any feedback on the results? The reason I ask is that I went to replace the half shafts today and one...

I can't tell from looking at britpart (etc) photos - Those seats kits where you get the back and seat base pads - are they all hard wired together? I like to get the seat base off for access, and I'm not even that bothered about heat there. I'm wondering about not fitting that pad, but does...

There's a good amount of slack in my 300 110s transmission. Aside from all other components, if the hand brake is on (which locks the properly fine - ie it's not a hand brake issue) the vehicle can still roll more than id like to to before the slack is taken up. The handbrake isolates this to...

Disclaimer, I made the mistake of asking about these on another forum, and, despite my best efforts, it just turned into some dick waving contest concerning regulations. To be absolutely clear - my defender is only ever used on a private race track in a pressurized environment on the moon, so...

Disco 1 winch bumper - £70 Bought used, stripped of all the powdercoat, in preparation for getting it hot dip galvanised, but my 300 disco returned to the ground before i fitted it... Steel is pretty pitted where it sat with water under the shifty powdercoat, but it's something like 4mm...

I've got some 88 sides to fit on my 110 csw The 110 utility has flat sides going up to the door, whilst the 88 has a vertical upright bit just behind the door seal that looks to be glued (?) on. Despite looking at loads of forum posts on this, noone seems to mention this strip? There's loads...

A noise that runs at about the frequency of one valve. But the confusing thing is that it only happens under load. Any load, not just hard load. So I can be driving up a gentle incline, and the knocking is there, but, as I crest the (gently) hill, and it comes off load (I'm not talking...

I should buy one. I've got the removable steering wheel, but not the lock. I never really understand why the orange bits come up for sale separately, but they do (sometimes) Anyone want to flog me one? I wouldn't mind the storage mount also, but I can spin a pair of them up on the lathe...

Wanted: Pair of 88" van sides, with small rear windows only (no side windows) I don't care about the paint job at all, but I'd like the metal to be reasonable. I'm at J27 on the M5 (tiverton area) - anyone got a pair close-ish? They seem to be on ebay up north all the time! Picture...

My usual go-to supplier's website isn't working, at least not for me. Is it just me, or is it broke for everyone? Eg - https://www.island-4x4.co.uk/check-strap-channel-britpart-mwc5018-p-24657.html (google is still giving hits but when I click on it it's just nonsense server stuff)

Some L reg 200s at the end of the cycle had disc brakes on the rear. Were the very first 300s only m reg, or were there any before August 1994? What about the r380? I'm guessing none of them were ever fitted to 200s, so would have been linked (in time) to the 300, right? My own factory 300...

I have a 110 csw. The rear (side) windows are close to useless for a variety of reasons. I'd rather they were not there. I'm aware that 88" sides can be used to replace the whole panel with limited bother, but do I have any options for internal trim? There were (I think) some factory 5...

If I want to fit wiring conduit between the door and the a post, I'd use this part - But.. holes? Is there a template about or do I have to make it up as I go along? Thank you.

I need a new latch for my csw rear door. May as well get one with central locking bar... Two part numbers, different pricing, can't tell the difference. I think they both need the 20mm barrel. Anyone know what's what? Thank you.

Lots of people seem to have various eberspacher / webasto / Ali express heaters on their defenders. Where is the inlet and exhaust normally mounted? They have little silencers, right? Are they used? Thank you

Anyone got any smart ideas about dealing with this? You can see ive given it a fair whacking (after days of GT85) and still no rotation. Currently wondering about TIG'ing some box across the top of it and levering it around that way. Normally the heat from the weld breaks the corrosion bond...

I posted this on facebook, and got the usual drivel, so appologies if you have seen it prior! I'm gradually chopping up my 300tdi disco. I want to keep some parts for myself, some are not worth keeping, and some are good. If you're looking for doors or body panels then they are all without...

I've got a 300 TDI disco. I've had it for years, and it's stuffed now. Chasiss beyond sensible repair. Inner wings going etc.etc. It's got loads of faults. I mean it still drives but synchro is going on 1st to second, the steering box requires a pre-mot wash etc etc. I was intending to...

I bought a Richards chassis at the weekend, private sale (abandoned project) It came with both the gearbox and mid cross members, but I've previously replaced the mid on mine, so wont ever need the one that came with the chassis. £50 seems fair. YRM ones are about £100, but are easier to fit...

Ive picked up a replacement manifold for the FL2. Non-swirl version, both as a safeguard, and in ever more drastic steps to get to the bottom of the intermittent limp issue. Im more of a 300tdi person, and dont really like plastic cars at all, but needs must - How long is it likely to take...
