Ok, thanks - I'll have a look.

I cannot find OEM bushes for the steering dampers or shock absorbers, only aftermarket (usually britpart). I am putting together an order with Adventure 4X4 as they can supply the A Frame Fulcrum Bracket with a Lemforder ball joint (most have a britpart one on them).

Great thanks. And on the UJ, Bearmach (£7.20) or GKN (£11.37)

Plus I know most people hate Britpart, but what's better Poly steering bushes from them or standard from unknown source: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-DEFENDER-STEERING-DAMPER-BUSH-KIT-/370503146404?hash=item5643b55ba4:m:mgnRdfFNtNahRgA1ZsbdZLw

Hi, Sorry for the slow reply, I've been away for a bit. I'm on the coast Waldamar and thanks for the offer. I am thinking of replacing the shocks at the same time, not too sure yet. Draglink wise, I am going to try and not replace the actual link, just the end. Looks like I have two options...

I suppose I could fit something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Defender-90-110-HD-Steering-Track-Rod-Drag-Link-Set-Heavy-Duty-/271635762073 That would obviously solve the Draglink and the steering damper bushes issue, but is a lot more expensive. Is it much of an upgrade for the...

We had our 110 CSW inspected last week and got a back a list of issues to be addressed. None of them dire (thank goodness) and most run of the mill defender maintenance (so I am assured). I bought the defender so that I could learn to do basic to middle maintenance myself. I'm not a professional...

Hi all, Thanks for your replies, hopefully it will start ok this morning, but I will also think about replacing the solenoid. James

It's not a lack of fuel... :( We only drove 5 miles home last night, having put in a gallon of fuel. I went out this morning and it wouldn't start again, same thing - cranking but not firing up. I tried it a couple of times, then popped the bonnet and did the solenoid test - putting the thin...

That's interesting, never got that low before I must admit. The fuel gauge must be a bit out. Don't you think it's strange that we ran out just as we got to the shops though and turned the engine off?

Hi all, We were out in our defender 300tdi today and obviously went through quite a lot of standing water (but nothing of any real depth). When we got to the supermarket, I said I would go in as it was raining and my wife said she would restart the engine to keep warm. However, the engine...

I am thinking of something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-Ton-Heavy-Duty-2-Hook-Cable-Puller-Hand-Winch-Turfer-Caravan-Boat-Trailer-/331667162488 It only has a 2.5m cable, but I can use a towing strop to extend it and then chock the weight whilst I readjust. Why would it have three hooks?

Thanks all - looks like I might spend the extra and go with the S&A that is better known.

I need to load a 1/2 ton item, on wheels, onto a trailer without a winch fitted. I have a drop down tow bar (see below) and this has a solid bar, what could be used by a stump puller - however these seem to have a short length and I need at least 5m if not longer. I have emailed a few companies...

Hi all, We have just bought a 1997 300tdi 110 CSW and I want to give it a service, as I don't think it have been done for a year. I have bought this OEM service kit and I am now thinking about oil. I came across this oil, which seems great value - maybe too cheap? I have seen this Smith & Allan...
