    Blakes deteriorate after bleeding.

    You can get re-seal kits, they don't always work, and if the piston bore is Borked, then it'll just eat them again......

    Tyres ?

    No, we'd have threads full of practical, subjective information, not repeated questions. The search tool works brilliantly, and if you can't find a specific answer to your question, broaden the search terms. Even A simple Search in Google gives a plethora of tyre websites and comparison...

    If it's just temp protection. And you're gonna strip it back afterwards and re-apply a decent base, then anything will do short-term. Although you'd have to make sure it was stripped back properly, and cleaned etc. Hardly seems worth it TBH. A litre of RedOxide primer is a worthwhile purchase...

    Which Penrite Oils?

    You HAVE to use 2 different oils (technically 3 including the dot4 for the clutch and brakes )...unless you want to cook the diffs and boxes...... That's why manufacturers give us the specs :doh: SAE90 is a standard hypoid gear oil for diffs and gearboxes - a simple search in the website will...

    PolyBushes will stiffen the ride, but last a lot longer. TBH, if it was a Disco or a Defender, i'd say fit them, but in a series, i'd say just fit some parabolics and some gas dampers instead. I've been insanely busy today/tonight. Managed to do an oil change, drain the tank ( 20ltrs of...
