Great @jamesmartin, I bought it all!! Only thing I am not sure of would be swivel overhaul - if i see on allbrit that there are two options: this one Swivel Pin Housing-From (V) LA930456 (http://allbrit.de/UNI.cfm?PAGE=755142&SPRACHE=EN) that requires 2 Bearing-taper roller (606666) or Swivel...

Amazing stuff @jamesmartin !!!! If you ever come to Accra I owe you a double draft!!!! q1 whilst I am changing the NTC1773 and the A ball joint, any other bush to change ? q10 so if I feel the clutch to be fine, and is just the oil which is a bit murky, is it best to change the whole thing or...

Thanks @jamesmartin a lot – can you confirm just some tiny details – I need to proceed to buy stuff asap as I will only be in Italy for Xmas and then back to Accra - so the order has to be shipped Q1: Since I am not clear on what rubber kit to go for, how many NTC1773 would I need, is it just...

Hey @trax and @Dads toy I am trying to do the same and I figured I can buy NTC8390 (£18) + NTC9235 (£32LHD) on paddock and get from GL the Track Rod Ends (£8 each) + Damper mount (£21.60)...that would save me about 50 quid - since I would be using my Landy only for Africa overland trips (both...

@jamesmartin could you please let me know what you think is best so I can proceed ? I'd really appreciate that ;):):) A couple of others points whilst I am at it: The correct discovery drop arm part is NTC9235 right? what is the dimension of the steering arm I would need since it needs to be...

Hey @ifloochies! Great to see someone else in GH! I am in Osu, we can meet over the weekend ! hit me with a PM, cheers!

Great – this is really useful, thanks a lot for this - making my new Landy life much easier! :p Few more q’s before I proceed with making my order that I will pick-up next week once I am back home for Xmas :) Q1 So for the a-frame bushes the part number is NTC1773 – do you recommend going for...

@jamesmartin thanks very much for pointing out the various parts numbers - i have a few questions after having done some further research today: *Upper arm bushing x 4 do you mean A fram bushes – I guess so? Axle ball joint x 2 chrome ball ?* Q1: This is how the L/R Specialist (??) mechanic...

Great to know @doriz and @Matty745 The RR versions are the one like mine? What does RR mean? Anything in particular that these conversions have such as larger fuel tank? heavy duty suspensions? I have been doing some research but not found much on this...any insights would be great - I would...

Here you go some further pics of Wheely today when I was moving some furniture home :) For context I want to restore Wheely to be able to take it overland from Ghana to Cape town and back to Nairobi and then to the RoW, so what I do now needs to be work that will enable me to be ready for this...

Thanks a lot all, I will keep you updated on how all progresses! I'd like to raise it of a couple of inches - what would be the parts i would need to change beyond springs and shocks?

Amazing...Amazing...Amazing...Amazing...Amazing...did i say Amazing??? I went through all the threads of Steve and can't find a list of all the main pieces changed for anyone else who would like to do something similar - is that available somewhere??? AMAZING!

Here you go! I will make other pics on the side and back and share with you guys! Got a few plans in mind, after civilising it (paint job + take off fire lights) being lifting him up 2" to start with... what do you think?

Ah good question! The car had originally a petrol 3.5 V8 that seized and was changed to a 200TDi (Discovery both engine and gearbox)... Now the mechanic told me that for some things such as the speedometer or the clutch repair kit I should take the 300tdi one because made for the Defender, and...

Ah great to know!! so my serial number in the VIN is 975201 so I have to look for the parts number that are From (V) JA 910737 correct?

Great thanks Neilly, I have started looking into this, for the pieces that I know the location of, not all of them :) At times that are a couple of alternatives like for the Mounting-lower link flexible rubber - NTC9027 (From (V) JA 910737) or STC618 (To (V) JA 910736) - how do I know which...

Hello guys! My 110 1996 Defender converted to 6x4 by carmichael has been sitting idle for something like 5 years before I got it, the Land Rover specialist I took Wheely (yes that's his name) for a first check-up suggested me to change a bunch of things - I have been trying to get them on...

Hello guys! I am Simone, from Italy, living in Ghana, West Africa. I am the proud owner of a 110 1996 Defender converted to 6x4 by carmichael as a fire rescue vehicle - it had a 3.5 V8 that got broken and it got fixed a 1994 200TDI (yeah I know not the best for such a beast but that's an...
