That's a great help thank you James

James you wouldn't happen to know the part number for the front axle wheel bearings,I'm not sure of the year but they have Teflon swivels if that helps?

Thank you James, luckily I got the wider radius arms with the axles, I noticed they were wider when I tried fitting some poly bushes and there was a gap in the middle of them.

i was told that I could straight swap disco 300 axles on to my 1990 90. Is this right? I've rebuilt the rear one and half way through the front one,

Seems a bit steep to me but I'm tight and would of repaired it myself. I can't imagine it would take two hours to change an altanator and battery for a professional

Yep it's only about sixty miles or so, I've got a transit jumbo so it shoul slot in nicely. Saves me £140 + vat so happy days

Just ordered a Richards one for my 200 90, 8-10 weeks wait but I went for that over a marsdens because I didn't want a td5 rear cross member I wanted an original spec one. Not a bad price at just over £1500 including galv gearbox cross member

You did ask and still didn't get:)

Nice looking fender mate love the colour,

Looks like the previous owners liked a bit of bodging, Bodging is my pet hate,I mean what's the point I'd doesn't solve anything long term.

Ive just remembered I've got a set too, so I can stop struggling to undo the rounded off fan pulley bolts.
