Sounds like you are enjoying your truck. Kids just love Landy rides. Don't forget to take care of the underside and bulkhead. A regular oiling every year has kept mine happy for many a year along with home made "Gwyn Lewis' type flaps to keep...
That is a fine example of using a sledge hammer to crack a nut. Just about all CV's and Drive shafts in cars are held in place by C Clips and shock method is the way to separate them
My 200tdi is an original Defender high turbo version. The Air filter housing is mounted on the downward slope of the NS wing behind the head lamp. Not a fan of the 300 system myself making lift pump hard to get to and the fact that the mount...

You’ll know when you find it. If your not experienced YouTube these points as you’ll soon find someone like mike or tasmania rovers has it covered. You want to look for play in your UJs, excess slack in prop. FYI UJs are a consumable and they...
If you have HD springs at the front but then don’t have extra weight at the front e.g. winch etc. you will likly be sitting high at the front. Potentially if you just have a factory front end without heavy extras you would Be better with standard...
