whats different about the panhard rod? the drag link is different as is the track tube and steering damper mounts,think panhard rods are same.

sounds like fork has gone or release bearing has jammed on guide sleeve, if its either of these the engine and box need splitting

contact defenderwayne on here, he's running and producing bio himself

same as defender rears to fit.

the internal gaitor is clipped to the centre console and surrounds the gearstick, unclip it and you will find a 13mm bolt holding the main gearstick to a stub coming out of the gearbox. there are then 3 screws holding the rubber floor gaitor down to the top of the gearbox, these also need...

same here!!! i have replaced rear 1/4s on discos and yes,they are held on with loadsa bonding sealer as well as fasteners!!! just a job that takes paitience,fiddly fingers and a little brute force!!! took mine off a shell we were scrapping and had to be very careful when i was removing it not to...

gear lever is attached to the box with a 13mm bolt that is under the internal gear stick gaitor. you can get the screws out of the rubber gearstick and t/box stick surround without removing the console but for the sake of a few extra fasteners i'd take the console out. at the land rover main...

more rust, leaky power steering boxes, clunky manual boxes, cylinder head problems, the list can go on and on but get a good one and it'll serve you well, get a bad one and you'll just keep spending.

yes its dash out job to replace it, 15mm copper piping joins the 2 hoses if you are going to bypass it.

sounds like there may be an underlying reason for the leaks coming one after the other, as before, poss head gasket failure.

i'm going to move down you're way if i can get away with charging that much lol, £300 plus panel is what we charge for straightforward boot floor change, obviously more if arches etc are gone. maybe they didn't want the work as the quote is well OTT. as for any MOT queries ref; pop rivetting the...

if you are lifting it and keeping the arbs then you will more then likely have to space the bars down as the links have a habit of "flipping" when used off road and lifted.

i've got a defender td5 t/box on the back of my lt77 in a 200 running 235/85s, tweaked pump and turbo, its like lightening from the lights but runs out of top end speed. cruises at 65, starts to sound a bit busy any faster.

lifted the body off a td5 we were breaking and the chassis was "dry", flakey rust all over the back end, only paint left was where ACE pipes had leaked and engine bay. looks like we'll still be welding them up for a few years yet guys n gals!!

lol, what do you think? solihull products keep you busy thats for sure. have you seen the lack of rust proofing on td5s? jeez, they are going to be worse then any i'm sure. think someone at lode lane has a share in a mig wire company lol

walk away, if the visible piece of the arch is corroded its a pretty safe bet that the lower C pillar has rusted through. put hand up inside the rear arch and have a good prod round, chances are the will be holes or patchwork. i make my living welding discos together (properly) and the whole...

do the cats rattle when you hit them? found bits of a customers cats in his rear silencer blocking it off last week!!! could always try slackening the downpipes at the manifolds and going on a noisy test drive, if the cats are blocked the exhaust can breathe through the gaps between manifold and...

yeah, you can get complete rear x-members for discos with body mounts etc.

got a secondhand head here, no problems with diesel mixing but needs pressure testing as engine had symptoms of head gasket failure.

not had it on my vehicle (because its a tdi!!) but i've had a few customers who i've had to give the bad news to about their td5s, the fuel distribution rail inside the head cracks allowing diesel into the oil. not cheap to fix and if its left can lead to a multitude of other problems ie...
