    yer the spring just has a retaining plate at the bottom which is 2 bolts and then that just lifts out once the vehicle is jacked up. shocks just hav a nut at the top and one at the bottom.

    advice (been away for a while)

    Usual things like it starts and moves and tht the engine or gearbox arent shagged. :D also check for rust. parts on the chassis which tend to go are the various outriggers and especially the rear crossmember. ALso check the bulkhead for rust in places like the footwells, door pillars etc etc...

    you could do both rear springs and shocks in less than 4 hours. its the fronts tht take a bit more time.

    Steering shake

    wheel balancing might be out. check your rims to see if you've lost a wheel weight. could also be a siezed CV joint if the shaking is really severe. happened to my 90 and felt like the thing was gonna shake itself to peices.

    What's the Deepest you've ever taken your Defender?

    stop solenoid switch

    shouldnt have to put a relay in. no it wont, all you do is turn the engine over on the starter motor.
