Finally on summer holiday after first year at university. Now for the jobs I have been meaning to do all year. First was to cut some carpets out of some artificial grass I ordered, maybe not to everyone's taste. I also still have two leaking pinion seals so I ordered a new flange with seal but...

I passed my test back in November 2013. Did my pass plus in the summer of 2015 and while it didn't reduce my insurance (which was £990) at the age of 18, I still learnt a huge amount and it made me a much more confident/safer driver because of it. The course only cost me £75 as the council did a...

When are these going to be for sale? :D

So the steering bar was bent beyond repair and I had decided that with the amount of offroading I do that I should buy an HD one. Unfortunately, bending the old one corrected the tracking so when I put the new HD one on, the tracking was way out and has taken a lot of adjustment to get the...

What I thought would be an hours job this afternoon turned into a whole afternoon and now the car isn't drivable. Decided I would change the leaking pinion seal on the diff only to find that I bought the wrong seal :mad:. Anyway, got that on order and should be here Wednesday. As I couldn't move...

Small question, I know most of the parts on mine have been replaced (like for like) during my rebuild, but which parts on yours are from 1990?

Anyone got a defender rear door for sale? Preferably as many bits as possible with it. ie. lock hinges Near southampton or willing to post

Got round to changing the handbrake to the disco 300tdi plate after my current one seized solid on the driveway. Turns out I also needed to buy a defender cable as the disco one is too short. Unfortunately no pictures While I was doing the handbrake I changed one of the propshaft Uj's which was...

If you plan on using the discovery 300tdi handbrake, bear in mind that you'll also need to buy a 300tdi defender lever. Don't ask me how I know :rolleyes:

Got a few bits from changing my handbrake to the later type. Make me an offer on ebay and I'll see what I can do. Handbrake lever (200tdi) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231807305355?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 LT230 Pivot plate...

Guessing that's you towards the start of my video then? :P

It certainly makes it harder starting off, something I'll probably get used to. I haven't towed anything yet but as I can only tow up to 750kg I don't really see it being a problem. Using the defender box I used to get 30mpg cruising at 70 with my 265 mud terrains. Only done about 100 miles...

Been out playing over near Petersfield on Wednesday. Discovery transfer box worked fine. The lanes we did were a bit more technical than what I'm used to but got down all of them even though the bumper sustained a bit of damage. Video from the day:

I'm having the exact same problem with mine, when the pedal goes hard, do you loose most of the braking power?

Now back from university for Christmas, I decided to change my 1.4 defender transfer box for the 1.2 disco box I bought in the summer. After resealing the cover plate and changing the output seal, managed to use a trolley jack to lift it up and fit it. Took about a day and would rather have had...
