    Are they still at it?

    It looks like they're stripping stolen vehicles for parts and using the picture for their engine reconditioning scam. There's efficiency for you.

    No side step mounting points?

    Pretty sure they just hang from the inner sill with a couple of support bars going across to the chassis rail. The inner sill has bolt slots in it and the brackets on the steps should line up with those slots. Will depend on your particular F&I steps. A picture of your steps, with the brackets...

    Brake bias valve

    I've got a schematic in my Defender manual for a 90, no idea if it's the same for the 110?

    Brake bias valve

    That looks identical to mine, but very shiny! Did you by any change take note of which brake pipes went to where from it? ie which port fed the back and which the front. EDIT Mine's a 90, but it looks very like that one!

    Steering vibrations above 50mph

    The bolts have to be extremely tight. They can look solid, but I'd get a big bar on to make sure.

    Steering vibrations above 50mph

    If you had vibrations before, it might have been the start of something that has nothing to do with your swivel ball. Panhard rod bushes going cause significant vibrations. If they've not been changed since 1994, it might be them.

    Turbo?

    On a TD5 it could also be a dirty sensor or other sensor fault. Might have nothing to do with the actual turbo. Were the engine oil and filter changed as per the service schedule all of it's life?

    Brand New TRW Brake Servo (Defender 300Tdi)

    THIS ITEM HAS BEEN SOLD I bought a brake servo from LR Direct. I thought it was faulty and so they sent another one. Turned out it wasn't because the second one was the same. Full story on this thread Servo Rattle They told me to keep them both :confused: It's a TRW part number LR013488G it...

    New Servo Rattling

    An interesting day! New servo arrived this morning. Rattled and clanged like the first one :confused: Emailed LR Direct straight away to say it seemed very strange that I've got two that rattle. Were the suppliers really sure there was an issue with it when they listened to the video I sent? I...

    Burnt out - rebuild

    Got ya :) Taking the wheels off and lowering it on to low axle stands seems like a good shout. You'd have to make sure you got all of the awkward bell housing bolts out before you dropped it.

    Hope you can help - diagnostic codes & creaking pedals/steering column

    Mine sometimes creaks from the steering column if I accidentally bump the plastic column surround. This causes the foam inside and, maybe, the plastic to rub and make a loud noise. If you're lucky, it might just be that.

    Good job @Broke Again or @kurtjohnson10 weren't investigating it ;) :)

    Burnt out - rebuild

    Hmmm, pretty tight I reckon. Is the Landy rolling? And do you have space to push it back? You could put the crane on timber, like a few decking boards. Lift the engine while pushing Landy back. Might be easier to take the bumper off :rolleyes: How did you get the engine out?

    Burnt out - rebuild

    Going back a while now Dag, three or four inches if I remember correctly. This is the best angled shot I've got. Sorry, I can't remember exactly. What's your winch bumper look like? Got a picture? I think it could be tight.

    Burnt out - rebuild

    You're doing some great work there Dag :cool: I didn't have to take my bumper off.

    New Servo Rattling

    The results are in! I could see nothing with the USB boroscope :rolleyes: So, I took the rubber vac tube grommet out to give me a bigger hole to see inside. Rolled the servo around to see if anything fell in front of the hole - Nothing! But plenty of clanging :confused: Put finger in the hole...

    New Servo Rattling

    That's a bloody good idea! And, I've got one somewhere :)

    New Servo Rattling

    That has crossed my mind. I know it's carped, but it'll be such a shame to cut up a £190, new, shiny thing :(

    New Servo Rattling

    LRDirect have emailed me back and, having watched and listened to the video, have offered a refund or a replacement. I've asked them to send a replacement. They said to scrap the first one. Well done LR Direct
