Bit of an odd one. My front screen is marked from where it's got condensation on it repeatedly while it's been off the road the last few weeks.. nothing will touch it.
I've not given it now then a wipe since it was fitted.. could it have had some thing wiped/sprayed over it during fitting? I've tried regular class cleaner and alcohol on a cloth so far.
Any ideas? It's definitely on the inside

Have you tried white vinegar, it may be a limescale deposit, failing that it maybe an acid mark ... and will need a cutting compound...
 
So I did desnow it today, but decided to take the defender to the shops.

But now tomorrow ;). Gonna park the fender out somewhere safe and see if the L322 can do what the tin (never said) but hey if it gets beached the EAS will raise it and out it should drive, yes? Could be fun:).

Bets anybody?

hard to tell but it looks like the knock i'm getting is the track control arm.. this beastie..
but the manual seems to call it a tie rod in the pictures, but a rear lower arm in the torque specs? it lists the ball joint nut and bolts but no torque for the nut and bolt at the other end?
is this the ball joint i need?

assume i have to jack the hub up to the correct height when torquing up the sub frame end so its at normal ride height?
 
Tightened at ride height yes!
Have you checked the rest of the suspension in that area yet?
Once you start replacing arms you end up going through all of them..
Not a big fan of multi link suspension.. 🤔

The front one seems ok right now but don't expect it to last another year but that's for another day

Thanks!! Crikey that's tight. My torque wrench only goes to 100lbft!
I don't have a splitter, one of the few things i don't have! But looks like you only use it to split the arm from the ball joint.. I'll be replacing both so no need.
I'll keep the arm though to replace the bush at my leisure
 
my tailgate is starting to bubble with rust :( can anything be done before it gets worse or is it a case of getting one off a scrapper?
