When the first pictures of the new defender came out I was critical, as were most defender enthusiasts. As their numbers have increased on the road they have grown on me and now I look at them and think hmmm :) Not in a Halle Berry sort of way, obviously! But attracted, none the less. Good luck...

Might just need a union nipped up Phill. Last time I looked they were very expensive. Hmmmm, that was about eight years ago though :rolleyes::D

Pretty sure those units are sealed, so I suspect one of the pipe unions must be leaking. That is the brake bias valve Kev and it's fixed to the bulkhead. The bell housing is the round, flared out end of the gearbox that bolts on to the back of the engine block.

Are you sure it's the brake bias valve that's leaking Mick? It should be mounted on the bulkhead, below and slightly to the right of the brake servo. A leak from the bell housing could be the slave cylinder leaking.

Pleased to hear that! :)

Nice people, but a set of comedians. I wonder if they ever delivered the correct bulkhead to anyone! I ordered a 300Tdi and got a 200Tdi. Unfortunately, I'd paid to have it painted before I realised. Was a pain having to create new fixings so I could fit everything back in the right place. I...

Agree about the steering box mate, but that's very different to the body not being secured to the chassis properly.

As Brown said, it does sound like body panels and steel reinforcements are in a bad state, such as the steel angle support that runs across the back of the tub and through which the tub is bolted to the rear chassis. The front seat belt anchorage points also mount the front of the tub to the...

No bother, good luck :)

I think I've used my second fob before and then the other one has worked. I've also done the ignition key and door technique to get the code sorted. I've got the instructions in my handbook, but I suspect neither of those things are any use to you :(

Hmmm, I think they can lose synchronicity somehow when the battery goes low. I've had this happen to me when I've changed the battery, but I can't remember what I did to get it working again. :rolleyes: I'll have a think! Do you have both fobs?

What he said ^^ The batteries don't last forever and when they go you get the symptoms you described.

As Steve has identified it sounds like your slave cylinder has been fitted upside down. It'll be virtually impossible to bleed upside down. Don't pull it all of the way out when you rotate it as this helps prevent the push rod being pulled out of the fork.

That's the longer half shaft too, so a little more awkward to line up as longer means heavier at the far end. As has been said, you need to lever it up to get the shaft lined up with the centre of the diff and rotate it so the splines line up and it slides in.

All you need to do is adjust the steering lock stops as Def90man said. It's very easy to do and costs nothing. It's something you should check when you change your tyres anyway. Manufacturers can alter the design of the same tyre, so worth checking. You will either prevent rubbing of your new...

Looks excellent. :)

It would be very difficult to judge. Your gauge has a full scale deflection of 30psi. A basic, cheap compressor is going to deliver 120psi+ So you could almost instantly over pressurise the transducer unit.

Go for it marra :cool:

That looks awesome :cool:
