Aye I've seen the earlier spring but thankfully never had a landy fitted with it. I think you can retrofit the later spring? Or I may be wrong

This is what I've got fitted

Can't really make out the pic but mine is the bog standard spring that was fitted when it was built, it's a 96 plate 300tdi. The spring in that pic looks like it's the wrong way round though I can't really see it well

I adjusted my clutch as per Britannica Restorations videos and it's bloody lovely now. Feels much more like a modern clutch and takes no effort to press at all, not like the older ones where you ended up with muscles of steel on one leg. Worth a short trying just a proper adjustment and bleed...

Fair dos, lovely setup you've got there too. First album I ever bought was on cassette tape but that was a while ago lol. This is what I've got in my motor, never thought it looked too modern for it

Why you would want a cassette deck just to remain original I've no idea. I've got an all singing all dancing DAB and Bluetooth head unit in mine with speakers in the front and rear, it's great. I can hear my music fine and it connects to my phone straight away. No one in their right mind would...

How does the LoF spring make the clutch pedal easier to press? The one that's originally fitted on it is a return spring, nothing to do with helping you push it down

The clicking you can hear is the solenoid failing to engage. For the cost of the kit you'd be better off repairing that and completely ruling it out as id put money on that being the problem

Sounds like the solenoid on the starter. I'm sure I've seen kits to rebuild or replace the solenoid itself rather than the whole thing. What engine is it?

Got a video of what those sound like? Mine is a bit meh. It's new and it works, it's just not what a landy horn should sound like

Shouldn't be noticeable in this weather, you'll only really need glow plugs once it starts getting cold again

Finished off the wee unit for my stove in the back. Felt I needed something a bit more substantial to go with my roof tent so now I can make a brew and cook dinner at the same time!

Knock yersel oot lol https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW-CAR-CAMPER-BOAT-OFF-ON-ON-3-POSITION-ROTARY-SWITCH-SPLASH-PROOF-/401152625289?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

It's a GM era Saab 93 Sportwagon I've got. Literally the best 250 quid I've ever spent. That cars never broken down, never let me down, and that was with me doing a 50 mile commute every day for my last job. I'd bought it (and couldn't believe the price) to do me while I was rebuilding a lot of...

Just a pollen filter. The one on my saab was manky and saturated so I took it out and never replaced it. Less chance of it getting clogged up with water and seizing the blower motor again

What's it connected to? It most likely wouldn't have any function in a defender, the loom is pretty simple and you don't need many wires

Take the rear prop off and go for a drive. If it still clunks you can more or less discount the rear end. Have you checked the a frame balljoint? I was chasing a clunk on mine and replaced parts that did need replacing but ended up tracing it to the main culprit - the a frame balljoint. Replaced...

Just a thought but the rear door hinges are a more robust design with easily replaceable hinge pins and ball bearings. I know there were very similar (if not identical) fitted to Series doors but the problem would then be how to mount the mirrors? I've never seen a rear door sag or end up...

As requested. I got rid of the lever that controls the flap and low/high settings as frankly its utter crap and I've never closed the vent in my almost 10 years of Land Rover ownership. I bought a Durite 3 position switch - off, low and high. Connected the positive and negative from the existing...

Go to your local motor factors and just buy the bits. They'll most likely be far better quality than kits that bearmach or ****part do. You won't need a lot - enough engine oil for a full change, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, ep80 and atf to top up your diffs, transfer box and gearbox...
