And it is correct for pre Defender models @lynall :D

What you are thinking is all wrong. What you are describing is how the set up should be for Land Rover Ninety and One Ten models. The "Defender did not come in until late 1990. [this distinction can be important when ordering parts] I have a pre...

A 7.50 x 16 should have a 7.50” side wall and 7.50” section width. In practice many will be a bit taller esp if a mud terrain.

Doubt you fried it but you could have jammed it in gear. Try putting it in gear say 3rd high with ignition off and rock the truck back and fore. Given it's a Landy you may need a couple of mates to help do this.

There are "spot weld" removal drill bits available.

I hate that noise. A fancy, shiny, slick car pulls up and then makes a gross farting sound. So poor.

Thanks all, Nice quick job, went in from underneath and some injector release spray soon had the movement released again. While I was under there I noticed that the return spring had worn away so nice new spring on as well. Now onto alternator...

Learning to drive must be a breeze nowadays. My Golf has an electric motor on each brake caliper to apply the handbrake. Sure it will be considerably more expensive to fix than adjusting or replacing a cable.

You would be lucky to find a vehicle with a hand brake lever now.

Plenty of older vehicles around here. Had a look at an electric job the other day, just an electric servo motor pulling on cables. Another thing to go wrong so folk do not learn how to hill start using the hand brake!:(:(

When I did my son's panhard bushes I used some poly bushes and new bolts. Following week I fitted oem bushes, the poly bushes were a waste of time, you could see the axle moving from side to side.

Like wheel bearings

Yes go from the seat box center plate. Clean and a tad of lube may do it. Could be ratchet itself worn or the pawl that catches in it has gone/worn. When learning to drive a long time ago I was taught to pull brake up with thumb on button and...

The BFG AT’s on my disco 1 were the best tyres I’ve had. They had excellent wear and Road holding for a Land Rover. I’ve currently got Cooper ATR’s on my 90 and they are all terrain but with a slightly more Road-biased pattern and again last well...

Having a partially seized UJ in the steering results in a knotchy feel when you turn the steering, bit scary when it starts when driving at speed.[ I know that] The force to move the swivel [ in my old manual a fishing scale is used pulling on...

Have in recent times had little grandchildren to transport I have to say that todays child/baby seats are rather large when compered to plastic bucket baby one of 35 years ago. Modern cars have a built in system to lock in child seats so you will...

Swivel pin load and steering joints it is then, good luck.

The axle ones I mean.

Both pins are in great condition. Ive seen worn pins before, including someone's I repaired that had no pin left whatsoever and he wondered why the steering felt off 😬. I'll do the left side tonight and see how it goes tomorrow

A dead or nearly dead shock/damper can result in that sort of rattle upon hitting a pot hole but pre load first.

Fix the other side, new top pin and bush if there is any side to side movement at the top of the swivel housing. In this case just removing shims will only improve things for a bit.

Get a proper bumper, that box section looks horrible.

Endoscope attachment for I phone and look through the slave as per @D1Nut post. Mine's arm went at 69K [ I keep a record of major repair/service items] It would depend on where you live, driving with me is mostly up hill and down the cwm on...

You just need a louder engine. I don't ear any wind noise from my roof rack :D

Seal gone?

There won't be any height difference just by going for a road tyre, unless you change size. Which is an option, but depends what size you have now. Smaller tyres will also impact gearing. It is all possible however. In terms of tyres... do you...

I have a couple of roof bars for when needed. I DO NOT leave them on, loads of wind noise and great when off road for catching over growth.

I have BFG AT and don't really notice any tyre noise. My son has BFG MT and a roof rack, that is noisy, I have to open the window to let the noise out!

Had my landy a long time. When it was still a 19j about 23 year ago had the original fork go through. Also found its pivot had worn to a point. Replaced with standard fork and new pivot with a dab of grease on it. 3 Years later 19j was done...

There will not be a huge difference between AT and what are often called "all weather" noise wise. Fitting a lower profile tyre to fit into multi story's will upset your gearing, needing more revs to obtain the same road speed as before. You...
