    Rear Anti Roll Bar Links

    As you said the top link is tapered and a sharp whack with a hammer should remove it. Don't know why it's being that stubborn.

    Land Rover 90- The Story so far

    It's a spacer and will probably come loose when you remove the lp. May aswell clean it and refit with a paper gasket.

    300 TDI Door Lock Upgrade

    I think getting in to your vehicle should be the least of your worries. At least with crap locks, the windows stay in tact

    Fantastic transformation.

    Binnacle mount replacement

    That's good to know about the solvent adhesive. Half the problem is finding The right glue.

    Re-trimming Early Seats

    I've re trimmed defender seats with the paddocks kit and ot was easy and looked good. Well worth the money.

    Drop arm.

    Mmmmmmm? Never thought of that. Makes sense while accelerating through first and second. Would the noise feel like its under floor or lower bulkhead. It's more of a cable slap on a panel that a knock. I thought I'd sussed it with the copper brake pipe from the mc hitting the baulk head but that...

    What have you done on your 90/110/130 today?

    I had some galvanised sheet on the shelf so thought I'd knock up a couple of these.

    Rear brake locking after new brakes.

    Although the calipers are new, one could be sticking or not travelling as far as the other. I'd drive around a bit more before doing anything just yet.

    Drop arm.

    Checked and lubricated all bushes. Will check all panel, floor fixings today to see if any are loose. Could be all the amazing torque I'm getting is flexing the panels :rolleyes::rolleyes::)

    Drop arm.

    I know, at the end of that long explanation, I realised I was clutching at straws.:). As I said, only in first and second pulling away. Sounds like a cable, speedo?, slapping against a panel. :confused:

    Drop arm.

    That's exactly my thoughts but driving and trying to place the noise is a little awkward. :D

    Drop arm.

    I was driving today and thought I'd sussed it. It sounded like iwas around the lower bulkhead above the accelerate peddle. I grabbed the metal door check and rattled it around and it gave the same sound . Unfortunately when I drove with one hand holding the stay but the noise was still there. I...

    Drop arm.

    I'm getting a tapping noise what seems like a cable slapping the bulkhead when I pull away through first and second. Driving me nuts but can't find anything out of the ordinary. As it sounds like a steering associated noise and all the tre,s are OK, I thought d change the ball joint in the drop...
