So got under the car with a tape measure. Straight away found what I think is the issue. Passenger shock is compressed 30mm more than the drivers. Now this could be the fact the drivers spring is longer. But surely the extra weight on the drivers side would even them out.

I'll give that a go. Although the springs I replaced less than 3 months ago

So I've just got the tape measure out. Passenger side drivers side tyre height 78.0cm 78.5cm tyre to bodywork 17.0cm 18.5cm...

So I,ve got standard height terrafirams,

Gents, so I've got a 1986 defender 90, chassis and suspension all new a few years ago, I've suddenly notices the rear passenger side body, ( roof to ground) is approximately 35mm lower than the drivers side, making it look a little off. Rear passenger roof to floor 178cm, Drivers roof to floor...

Gents, do i need any special tools or support to change my A frame upper ball joint, it looks fairly simple, but I'll be doing it on the driveway just laid under the car, So do I need to support anything, before something drops on my head. ( 1986 defender 90)

Gents, a quick and easy one, having just had a lovely set of brand new doors fitted to my 1986 90, i thought i would fit the door cards correctly with all the proper fittings, rather than drill holes in my lovely new doors. but can i find the correct fittings, i have these door cards and...

no, not drive her since

So after fitting a set of rear reverse cones to my 90 to stop the springs moving, when putting her back down on the wheels I noticed that the car is now slightly lower on side than the other, I 've checked the springs are all fitted correctly but I've got about 20/30mm lower passenger side...

Thanks for the advice gents, weather dependent I'll get the spanners out at the weekend

That's a great idea

A bit of advice please, so after hunting a coolant leak I eventually have tracked it down to the bottom corners of the radiator so its got to go. I 've changed radiators before in other cars but not one with the built in oil cooler. My question is. when I disconnect the two pipes on the oil...

Thank's gents. Between leaving it crushed in a vice for a while and then jacking under it as had as I could, manger to get the nut on.

A little help gents. So I've replaced the bushes top and bottom on my front shock. All went smooth untill the last nut. How do you get the last bottom nut back on. I'm about 3mm short for the nut to pick up the thread due to the new bushes. I've tried putting in hot water, jacking the car...

Thanks gents, went with the Dinitol option. Time will tell how long it lasts

Gents, is there any suggestions for what type of paint to use on coil springs, I've got to do a bush change on the front of the car and though whilst i'm there i might as well tidy them up as looking rusty even though only a few years old. I've search and read just about everything i can find...

so having poked around this morning i think its a combination of a few things, water level in radiator was not all the way to the top, Expansion tank level was low. Then when the car was running and the fans on, i can feel air blowing out the side of the heater box where the matrix pipes go...

thanks, she a 1986, with a 200tdi

So i'm going to ask probably the most asked question of them all Is there any way of increasing the temperature for the car's pathetic internal heater. It might be just because it is a little cold outside at the moment, but even after an hour driving the air coming out the vents is still...

Hi, thanks, managed to narrow down and remove all the other leaks, just two left and having removed the dash i can see the stains where it runs in, hopefully will save a Tupperware party i have to leave in the footwell overnight
