Reviving an old thread here... Found these in the shed... I think they're off a Disco 1... if anyone can help identify them? Looks like Red/Red/Pink colour code - anyone know the specs for this spring? Also the hard rubber inserts - are these the 'helpers' you referred to?... where they an...

I had a problem with my 90 TD5 eating rear shock bushes, so went for the poly bushes... re-used old metal collars/ washers.... no more clunking, and lasting well.

I fitted a VDO unit... still going strong after 50,000 miles/6yrs.

Waxoyled the underside... used the Schutz canisters (x2) from Mmart, which seemed to do a good job.... 82p roll of tinfoil from local shop did the masking job nicely for the exhaust.... Dinitrol'd (x4) cavities - bit left to do the bulkhead, and doors. Pressure washed last week, and allowed to...

My fan came with these, and I bought some more from Demon Tweeks... I think Rimmer Bros do them too. They poke between the water tubes with discs and foam pads to spread the load - they've lasted 45K so far!

Replaced backrest foam on drivers seat as side bolsters had collapsed - forgotten how comfy and supportive the original seat could be... I thought I was up for a replacement seat... but thanks to Exmoor trim on youtube I have given it a go - easy to follow and clear instructions. Nothing wrong...

Renewed subs for my tracker....

I concur... might need steam cleaning, to shift all that!... otherwise soak with GUNK/Jizer/degreaser before cleaning... then look to see which seals need replacing... it's surprising how oil travels around once released. Keep us posted...

Well, we made it there and back... it was a good show, enjoyed the evening entertainment... well impressed with the challenge trucks. Glad we camped, so could enjoy a few beers - glad we had our own, and £6.50 for a pint it was a bit steep!... you had to pick your moment, as the showers seemed...

Looks like they have a family/quiet camping area, so might try to get in there... will take some ear plugs too... some folk don't seem to realise how sound travels through canvas - had very 'amourous' neighbours on one camping trip:rolleyes: Just received our Jay Be guest beds... nice and...

I thought I would try to revive this chat for this years show... 2021 I've stumped up for some camping tickets for a first visit to this show... might try and get in on Friday - any tips on the best/quietest place to camp? Might take the dog, if there's a nice area for her ablutions?... talking...

Check my listing on ebay... item No.224236999481 Collect from GL20 Only done 30,000 miles, so plenty of life left in these parts. Dual Mass Flywheel Clutch and pressure plate Also Clutch master cylinder and pedal + new TRF master cylinder Clutch lever and release bearing - good no noise when...

Well I collected it today... just ahead of the COVID lockdown!!...my drive home on A roads may not have been the best test but Ashcrofts seem to have done an excellent job, you hardly notice the gear changes at all...seems to keep it in the power band quite well, and the kickdown was impressive...

I am due to collect my TD5 from Ashcroft on Friday... so will let you know... I was in the same boat, clunky gear changes combined with heavy clutch issues... I have wanted an auto for ages, and my Defender goes really well (touch wood!)... redundancy in my favour gave me the means... it's not...

Wheeler Dealers just slammed a Series 2... criminal!.... Warbird Workshop is an easy watch.... bit of Landy "action" (well driving along a dusty track) in Homeland the other night...

Ha... I was exactly the same...fitted the straight though pipe, but couldn't live with the drone... even tried Alive Tuning Cherry Bomb straight through pipe, but it still droned too much for comfort.... shame as performance was up and sounded sweet.

When you did the oil pump bolt was it loose... I have ordered the bolt and sump gasket... but not relishing that task... You would think there would be some record from production of the engine number that they changed to loctiting this bolt!?

Where abouts were you in PNG... I had 7 eventful years in Mount Hagen!...also have a bush knife from those days - even used for opening tins...

Just sold a set... worked really well when I ran 265's, and got fed up with crap all over the door handle and lock, not to mention the salt spray on the bottom hinge in winter. Got mine from MUD STUFF. Got rid of them when I fitted rock sliders, and returned to 235's.
