    Loud knock from underneath

    Had same problem. Was the link to chassis bushes you describe. Replaced with poly bushes and all fixed. Was causing axle to move a little causing the knock. If you park up on flat ground and try and rock the rear wheel I could see the axle moving.

    Tapatalk is great for accessing the site from my phone. Much easier than using the main site, makes it more phone friendly.

    How about fitting a 3 way switch before the relay so they can be off, on on their own, and on when main beam is on for off road use.

    wynns oil treatment

    I've used it (zx1). Ran quieter and more responsive from day I put it in. Makes sense when you read up on it. Oil companies make oil to spec to keep costs down. Certain additives improve on this spec.

    Identify my oil leak?

    I agree. Wouldn't leave it 6000 miles but that's what it says.

    Identify my oil leak?

    Last week. Was dry as a bone. I tend to check them every time I'm under the truck. About once a week... but manual for defender says they can be left in and checked every 6k miles. I leave them in all the time.

    Identify my oil leak?

    I thought they could be left in as long as they are checked. Manual says check every 6000 miles.

    Cheers. Bought a full poly bush kit hoping to fit this weekend if it doesn't rain!

    Magic. Cheers mate. I was gonna say, it didn't feel as it the problem was with the front of the vehicle or the steering. More like a little power slide, back end moving pushing car off its course so to speak. Will get the poly bush kit, might as well do the lot.

    A frame is knocking too but only when not smooth with throttle. So it could be bushes, a frame, Drop arm or axle bracket. Which is most likely? Bushes? Would worn rear radius arm bushes cause steering to wander?

    Hi Guys. Been away with the landy club over the weekend, and one of the guys noticed my Radius Arm bushes need replacing as the rear wheels have a bit of back and forward play. When I was driving home, I noticed that the car was weaving a little and I thought it was the wind at first...

    slick 50 engine treatment yes or no?

    I did some research last time I changed my oil. Slick 50 seems to be a bad idea because of the ptfe. I found extralube zx1 and it had good reviews and no ptfe. Engine ran quieter and smoother with more power. Was quite a lot of info out there. Will try and find the links tomorrow, but the main...
