    Td5

    Speak to Shifty he's your man for all things TD5. My 2005 defender has now done 92000 miles with no problems. The clutch was changed just before i got it other than brake pads and a swivel seal the only thing done to it is regular servicing.

    Anyone's pride and joy?

    I think its a lotus eclat. :car:

    Swivel oil seal not sealing?

    Someone with way more knowledge than me will be along shortly. If you have any back and forth movement from the wheel when it is jacked up the swivel ball is not adjusted correctly. I have never done the job before but this is how i understand it from what reading regarding swivels i have done..
