    Rear end THUD!

    is it only when you set off? or on every full rotation of the wheel. my guess is UJ's...again!...as they clang until the slack is tacken up. or worn bushes holding the rear axle on. UJ's are at the end of the prop and are always a good place to start. they will be obvious if their knackered...

    TD200 handbrake sticking

    i think it may be that the mechanism has worn excessively, or the shoe return springs are weak? i bought a new mech and it sorted everything. cost £35 odd quid though!!

    Stop Solenoid

    everything is possible mate. but no experience myself. why not remove the pin wotsit so it is fully open to test it?

    i second that. sounds like out of balance wheels. especially with your monsters, one weight could make a big difference. loose wheel nut? but it probably would have come off by now! egged tyre?

    Inspection ramps - which ones?

    i bought some cheap ones off ebay for £3 from some local guy. the landy is 3T in total. the weight of just the front or back is considerably less. in fact mine are the same a the machine mart ones and there fine.

    New propshaft, dust cap??

    some are sealed units, some are greasable and comes down to personal preference. if your landy has done over 10 miles they will all have been replaced a one time or another!!

    all depends on if you can take the risk / hassle of it cocking up. if not buy new, if you can then reseal. LAND-ROVER DEFENDER 90/110 MASTER CYLINDER on eBay (end time 01-Jul-10 11:00:10 BST)
