Yeah i think they are a direct fit, mine has fixed brackets but theres still the little channel where the hinge its on the windscreen surround

Another update, along with the little bits i keep doing when i have a chance i have now started seriously looking at the wiring. The old loom and the diagrams i had for a 200tdi scared me off the idea for a while because it was too hard to follow. However after revisiting the manual i have...

Got a diffs and full set of halfshafts if you want, halfshafts are used with slight wear on them but they'll do for spares

My local landy place has a set of series rims with slicks on them, that would lower it down plenty

Another brief update, only been able to get the odd hour in here and there due to us TB testing the cows and sorting a misfire on my 'temporary' car. Going to kick up the space heater again because it's gone too cold to paint now so I've just been sorting out other parts. Tonite I had a bit of...

Easy, half shafts out, prop off, diff bolts out, diff out. Reverse order with new one, job done 😃

Is the seal not supposed to sit underneath it?

My uncles defender has 265/75 r16 bfg ats on his and they fit ok with just a little bit of rubbing on the radius arms on full lock. They last well too, they've done 80000 miles and still have tread left. He does a lot of towing with them as well

Depending on what happens I can sell it, thing is I don't know how long my mate will be with it cos he's at uni

I have a good second hand one but it's currently being measured up by a mate so he can make me an aluminium one instead

Sorry didn't know the difference just looked them up. I'm after a fly press really

Where abouts are you? It is a fly press I take it?

Well if you notice a any difference after removing it then there's something wrong

Hard to tell but it looks like you have later radius arms so I think it may have been replaced aswell

Up to you really, Land Rover must have thought they made a difference or they wouldn't have fitted them. However I think most people rip them off
