Once again my horn is not working
It never ceases to amaze me the Defender . Just how can such a vehicle be so sought after and highly priced when there's so many things that go wrong with them. I remember replacing the indicator stalk on a few of my previous trucks...joy.Tried to remove the steering wheel to clear the way for swapping out the indicator switch that is on order - seized on the splines solid, no amount of large hammer, PlusGas and swearing will shift it.
Have bought a dedicated puller tool to see if it will surrender later in the week….every little thing fights me all the way.
Now very close to throwing all the spares from the garage in the back of this thing and dumping it
Grrrrrrr
Always leave the nut in a few threads as if the wheel comes off it attacks you like a rabid frisbeeTried to remove the steering wheel to clear the way for swapping out the indicator switch that is on order - seized on the splines solid, no amount of large hammer, PlusGas and swearing will shift it.

That is rusted on……You should not need a large hammer. What type of steering wheel puller are you using? With plusgas, a little heat and a proper flat plate puller left under tension the wheel should pull straight off...it's only a simple spline

My 15 year old 170k miles F2 indicator stalk will probably last as long as the car itself.....strange don't you think?
The doris rolls her eyes a bit every time I say I'm just going to do "whatever" to either the 90 or Buttercup, but there again when was the last time we broke down? can't remember the exact date but it was sometime in the 90's when my Volvo managed to rip the prop shaft in two when pulling out of a junction.Because owners treat them like **** and fail to maintain them properly + most have no idea just what high maintenance buses LR's are. Then they wonder why everything's rusty and/or covered in **** with every component seized...
