Very sage advice, as usual, Brown. Cheers mate.

I'm looking at replacing the brake servo on my 1996 300Tdi 90. There's an 'apparent' massive range from £45 up to £250 and everything in between. One of the ones up for £250 even says unbranded :rolleyes: Surely there can't be that many manufacturers to warrent a myriad of different prices...

That's how good the locks are. Most things that are thin enough to go in to the key slot will open the lock, so long as they don't bend! I don't know of an upgrade, but that doesn't mean there isn't one.

Air vent flap come loose from the cable. The one along where it comes out if the heater box and through the bulkhead. Normally has foam around it so should deadening any sound. o_O

My god! Was it that long ago :eek::(

Can you remember the old VW Golf advert when a slight squeak was driving the young lad up the wall? An old mechanic, in a remote garage, cured it by putting a tiny drop of oil on his girlfriend's dangly earing. :rolleyes: I doubt it's your drop arm ball joint Mickles.:)

Cheers Gents. Will check those too. I'm going down to help him have a look on Thursday.

Lots to go on there mate. Thank you. I forgot to say I asked him and no warning lights or engine check light came on.

My mate has a 60 plate (2010) It's got the Ford 2.2 litre engine, but I can't remember what bhp that model has. He's just messaged to say on his way home it lost a lot of power. Struggled to do 45mph and really struggled to get up any hills. On the drive, out of gear, foot to the floor on the...

If you look on LR Direct website they give you options. eg you can get a complete Britpart prop for about £70 the UJ will be britpart. Or they do them for about £100 with a Hardy Spicer UJ fitted. Still comes in a blue bag, but OEM UJ fitted.

Don't upgrade the suspension or brakes. Standard is perfectly fine. Keep it original. :cool: Good luck with the rebuild. Or, if you're keeping it original, good luck with the restoration. :)

Evening mate. My wing supports are a different shape to yours, presumably linked to the difference between the 90 and 110. Anyway, I was thinking after looking at your picture, if the two in question are loose, they must have been bolted to the chassis. The other two are still bolted to the...

This is my 1996 Defender 90 bolts to the chassis

Ahh, shame. I didn't think it was that bad. :(

What grade oil are you using?

Do you mean the rear wing stay? :confused:

When were your tappet clearances last checked?

@chrisstdt Evening mate. Crikey, I can't believe 8 years have gone by since we posted about this :eek: Did you ever get the wheel carrier fitted?

Well done, sounds like you've sorted most of the issues. The brake calipers won't be causing the wheel wobble. If one of the discs is warped, or rusted in one patch, that might be it. My money is on your panhard rod bushes starting to wear.

The clips you have bought are the right ones for the original door cards, but your replacement cards have a different system. Def90man man might have come up trumps there.
