Great. Making a start now.

Really appreciate this. Is the matrix disposable or repairable. I used to have a SAAB 96 and when the radiator blew a hole i had that repaired in a day.

Thanks.

Thanks. Will delve in tomorrow night. is there any sort of guide doc for this?

My Defender 90 has sprung a coolant leak from what looks like that big black box on the bulkhead on the passenger side. Can i get inside of that easily and sort it?

It's very odd but but pads are worn the same amount with loads of life in them. I have not bled the brake fluid, maybe i should do that.

Took the landy in for the re-test and it failed. They say that both rear brakes are only pulling 120KG now, so it looks like a master cylinder thing. They said i might be able to adjust the compensator, so got to try and find that. The front are pulling way more, so if i could distribute the...

I'm in north Sheffield, a place called Grenoside.

Well i got everything fixed for the re-test on Monday except the brake. I opened it up, rear near side and the left piston is fine, the right one was ceased. I freed it up though and now it is moving. I am really struggling for time with the MOT though as i'm going away on Wednesday and i don't...

Thanks for that. I'll get in there and have a look-see. Thanks for the copper-slip info. I did the rear trailing arm nearside bush today, i had two of those in my spares. it came out ok with the hacksaw but putting the new one in with copper-slip was tough. Fortunately i had the correct size...

Hacksaw blade and chisel worked a treat. Just waiting for Paddocks delivery now. ordered yesterday and coming Friday i hope. One other thing the MOT failed on was rear nearside brake only at 80%. New pads 6 months ago so not worn out. Could they fail the test through not being used enough in...

Thanks. I did put my order in at Paddocks and i'm hoping the stuff will arrive tomorrow. I've managed to get the rear trailing arm off and the panhard rod and have burnt out the rubber and inner ring of the bushes but for the life of me i can't get the big metal sleeve out. Any tips, or just...

I just failed my D90 1994 MOT on exhaust back box and mid pipe rotted out and a couple of bushes, one in the long steering arm where it connects on the near side and one in the nearside trailing arm where it connects to the axle. Where can i get these parts quick and cheap and how can i get...

Brilliant replies, thanks so much. Only worry is what a waste of money they were if they are so easy to take off by a determined person.

I have a set of Britpart locking nuts on my Defender i got from paddocks and like a moron i left the key nut on and drove away. Of course well lost now and i'm stuck should i need to remove a wheel - which i need to before my MOT next month. Even worse, i have not made a note of the code for the...

I didn't know about the disposable bottles, that'll do it as long as i can sort out how to attach my tap and gauges to it. Thanks for all this help, really appreciated.

Do I really NEED argon with a MIG welder to weld this bracket on? My contract expired a couple of years ago and until now have not needed to re-new it.

Did you have to drain the front axle to weld the bracket on?

Old, rusty, went too fast over rough terrain 10 mins before it happened.

Wow, is that a bolt on or weld on part? I do have a mig welder but currently don't have a bottle contract, but if i need to...
