Well it nearly MOT time I have had a quick look round so far and found 3 places to weld up 2 on the foot wells and one on the sill not too much this year I also have a clonking somewhere between the gear box and rear axle any suggestions of what to check I know these doughnuts can split would this cause it to knock at low speeds when lightly braking any help would be much appreciated also I have my amigos to fix for the mot also will the mot place say anything about it being converted to springs I have remover the air suspension light off the dash it's also a 7 seater.

Clunk will be Watts linkage most likely or rear radius arms possibly, if it were props then it would be vibrating also.


Don't think air to coils conversion is a problem so long as the light is not illuminated.

Be as well to replace the full sill panels if she's a keeper, foot wells are a ball ache.

Cheers for the reply I will check the watts linkage as most of the bushes on this landrover are perished and the radius arms for play yea I will price up a sill and the footwells are gonna be a night mare but once there done it wont need touching for a while

It escalates real fast.

I kind of had a feeling it was going to be a bit of a slog but hadn't planned on it being quite such a marathon lol

Best thing you can do is to go further than you need and then Dinitrol coat it inside and out every year.

I had thought about dintrol but some one has given me a 5 litre tin of black wax oyl so I will use that this summer then dintrol next summer I like the idea of them box sections sills I might have to find some box section premade on ebay and weld them on I fear the worst is going to be footwells everything else should be straight forward but it a landrover it never straight forward.
