Hi all.

Well its been one hell of a week getting the Landy back to a roadworthy state.
So far we've changed both axles, gearbox and all arms. Fitted new HD clutch and fork along with new suspension bushes, HD shocks and springs, 2" lifting blocks, new front brakes including pistons and extended braided lines, TD5 headlights and grill plus done quite a bit of wiring.
Only a few bits left now, cut and solder the wiring for the reverse light switch and diff lock light (picked up some solder today so that'll be done tonight). Fit some wading plugs, get the correct window mechs (proving to be a nightmare) buy some plastic tube to extend the axle and box breathers up to the roof, change my bent steering arm and get the tracking done.

Now the important bit i'm stuck on is the steering arm that goes behind the front axle (tbh the front one might be bent too i can't remember) been doing a bit of searching on the net and can't seem to find replacements anywhere. Could anyone point me in the right direction, just after standard ones then fit a big under engine guard to hopefully protect it.
Also do i need to go to LandyRover for the wading plugs? What should i expect to pay?

Probably think of more thinging i need to do once i start working on it again lol. Just want it road legal again so i can bring it home.

Any info or advice greatly appricated
Cheers Chris.

Plenty of scrap yards have discos in them nowa days + should be some on ebay .
Dont fit your wading plugs till you know you'll be wading ..... the holes act as drains , so leave them in your vubby box till u need em .
This will help with the naming of parts .

Cheers for the info mate.
Well no. 7 Track rod is defently bent and possibly no. 9 Cross Rod Assembly too. Doubt i'll be able to straighten them so replacement is looking likely. How much shouold i expect to pay for these?

Found one bar 2nd hand on ebay but thats it.
Are these not sold new anymore?

You can buy Heavy duty replacements compete with track rod ends for under £100 the pair from most suppliers.

most suppliers? i'm very new to L/R's still so don't really know who to talk to. Been getting all my parts from RST Landrovers so far.

Top man, thanks for that. I'll check if mine has three or four ball joints tonight and order a set in the morning.

Also anyone know which steering damper to go for? There's about 5 on paddocks website at various prices.

Ordered new HD steering bars and damper which should hopefully be here tuesday.

Another problem i have is no speedo. New box we fitted was another 300tdi that had been converted to fit a 200tdi and it would appear the drive magnet that fits in the back of the box is different. Only got the from the truck and that doesn't fit.
Remember when i disconnected from the other truck it had a horseshoe type clip secured with a bolt holding it in place. Anyone know what i'm looking for or how much they cost?
