    I'm fed up with this cold weather and just want to get lost there again with my trusty 60csx.

    Must remember to camp well out of site and use a tree branch to wipe out the tyre tracks in the sand.

    Just to let everyone know £140 prop from ebay fitted plus £50 labour and all ok - better than a new one for £900 plus fitting.

    Defender 90 Sadly selling my 90

    Blimey I was thinking of selling my immaculate 58 plate 90 with aircon and central locking with 28,000 miles on the clock for £11,500 - think I will have to have a rethink.

    Mike mine does exactly the same between 50 and 60 - put it down to balancing on large tyres - had them rebalanced and slightly better but basically still the same. I just try not to drive at that speed!!.

    Just got the nod for the trip to Namibia - 110 needs to be in a container on 18 April - so going to be tight - plan to get back from Morocco on 4 April and have already booked in for repairs and servicing on 5 April - nothing like a bit of advance planning.

    The dumper is the best bit of kit in the barn - now the hydraulics work though its a bit scary when the steering wheel lifts off whilst driving it The 110 is all ready to go and back in the barn after its MOT - its 20 years old today so gave it a brisk wash and clean inside.

    Rear prop taken off and both bearing and u/j bad - so purchased secondhand prop from ebay for £140 - hope its going to be ok.

    Many thanks for that - that's solved that dilemma - well best get the propshaft off first then to see what's wrong!!. Wonder if secondhand props on ebay will be any good.

    Had it up on ramps and am told the problem is the rear prop shaft centre bearing has gone - but am told these can't be sourced separately so a new prop shaft needed at nearly £900. However I have found the prop shaft centre bearing can be purchased for about £40 - when I relayed this message to...

    The reserve 110 is waiting for a transfer box to be fitted and the 90 is half way through welding up the chassis.

    Tucked up in the corner of the barn for 10 weeks - seems a shame to get it out for an mot tomorrow. (ignore the date in the picture - still haven't found out how to delete it)

    Would be good if that is all that is wrong - thanks for reply - just need to get it over the pit but at the moment there is an old 110 in the way waiting for a transfer box from the garage.

    My 56 plate td6 has started making a low sound fairly fast rattle at speeds of around 15 to 20 mph - seems mostly when on no or very light acceleration at that speed - noise goes when speed picks up - seems to be somewhere under cubby box - started to do it much more recently. Wondered what it...

    Fair enough the drop location is not one to linger but there is a good wild campsite an hours drive south just past a track through the hills dotted with numerous defence emplacements.

    Tempting isn't it - but I've spent enough - I mean still spending enough.
