    propshaft problem

    Can you measure the length of what it would have been right down to end of splines. I might have the complete end on a number of props i have in the garage. A pick of remainder might also be useful.

    Lift kit reduction query !!!

    Lift kit reduction query !!!

    I've changed the front diff already. Also changed the front prop a few times including doing uj's on one. I've not tried a brand new prop, and i know that the trailing arms are standard (so i've been told). The prob just seems to be gradually getting worse. I understand that i would need to...

    Lift kit reduction query !!!

    Shocks are white, although i think i have one on their that's a different colour. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anti roll barss.. the handling is actually very good and doesn't bother me. It's just the vibration. Currently feels like something is skipping the coggs when you are in slack gear...

    Lift kit reduction query !!!

    I'm actually amazed at how well this one handles on the road. It's solid. But the vibrations are horrible, and you almost need a ladder to get in and out. Let alone reach anything on the roof rack.

    Lift kit reduction query !!!

    I honestly have no idea if the shocks are deff correct for a lift kit. God knows everything else on tis thing has been wrong in one way or another. The local garage call it the mongrol, it's got that many bastardised bits on it. I'm not even sure how to tell, or what else it does or doesn't have...

    Lift kit reduction query !!!

    Hey folks. My 90 has a 2" lift. As a vehicle for green laning and mainly hunting etc, i'm thinking that i don't necessarily need it so high. adding to this consideration is the fact that it has been done without a corrected radius arms (front) and without a wide angled prop (front) and it...

    Defender 90 110 internal storage Pic's and links

    Hi Guys. I've been going through old threads, through the search facility, to get ideas for sorting the best way to accommodate good storage in the back of my 90 as well as having adequate room for a dog and a hawk, guns etc, as that's why i have my defender. I've found a number of threads...

    Loses drive then comes back

    could the linkages be slipping. Take off the cover around the gear levers and have a look. If they've been wrongly set up having had change of gear box / transfer box. They might not be set up correctly.
