...and then he went quiet. Another found that postage was more than the cost of the part.
More generally - could I use one off a later Defender? The RH and LH sides both have arms for a drag link. Any reason one of these wouldn't fit a Disco axle?

Sorry it didn't work out... I never buy stuff for my Landy from abroad, so I can't really help any more than I did. Buying a new one could be a solution, but they really are expensive.

As for using a Defender's, maybe someone more knowleageable could help, but you could also try ringing a local indy and they would definitely know the answer.

I am in Spain near Cadiz with disco and caravan at the moment, starting to head north in a week or so home in about five or six weeks. I wouldn't mind bringing one back if you could find one.

No worries Yoguko - I really appreciate you putting me in touch with your contacts. Triumphman - I'm starting to think in terms of getting a recent Defender axle instead but if I do track down a swivel housing near you I'd be glad to take you up on your kind offer.

Got a 2003 Defender axle on the way. Looking forward to the beast having steering again. It's nowhere near mobile yet, but at least this will be one step closer!

Best of luck. Hope if fits and you can get the lady back on the road.
