    Not sh@t at all. Nice focus bang on the eye. Not too much grass in front which is a major pain with anything on the ground and nice a sharp. I'm up Scotland next month (again). On the look out for the Scottish dragonfly specialities. (since I've failed twice before) :)

    Thought I would try and get a little win this evening so changed door barrel so key now works but continued on to try change door latch as driver side one doesn't hold door shut. How the chuff does this come out. Manual says slide it out. But however I try that bar on the left just jams...

    I'll find that engine number this evening I've watched videos on how to put it in diff lock but when I ram it left or right nothing happens. I've never had a 4x4 before so don't know whether I'm not doing it right (is clutch involved?) or if its yet another thing that's bust.

    2 inches? its only about 2cm difference. Its going in to a land rover specialist next week so I am sure he will tell me if I have just wasted over 3k but to get it to him I need to fit a propshaft or i will have to pay 100 quid to have it put on a flatbed to be taken there, so I might as well...

    Anyone got any ideas what propshaft I need ? Mine came out at like 620mm ( might be a bit short as one uj is well loose) My new one from paddocks was 650mm so too long to fit even thoughmy vin was inside their compatibility range. P/n frc8390 I'm stuck now as I can't find lengths on propshaft...

    Only ever seen one adder, we don't have snakes over here annoyingly. Ah , we don't have the DVLA over here or V5s. We have logbooks. Yeah tried a spanner wiggle on the injector but got no joy. As it's going into the garage next week I'll mention it but I'm sure he will know what's going on.

    So this weekends work hasn't gone well. - I couldn't get that gearbox flange nut off so gave up on that. - The new propshaft is too long (65cm when my old one seems to be around the 62cm mark). - couldn't get the injectors out to change the washers and seeing how much an injector is I decided...

    I haven't so far. My stuff isn't good enough yet. I got one clip on a BBC Scotland documentary once buy got no money. Yes its harder but also more forgiving. Like if something is behind twigs or something you can still get usable material. Unlike a photograph

    Aye. Without as doubt you get better results the more time you put in. I'm trying to move into video now. I prefer that nowadays

    Well I couldn't get the Flange nut loose so decided I would use the old bolts just to get the propshaft on. The bolts looked ok apart from the last few mms on 2 of the bolts. But when i went to put the prop on it was too long. But miffed as I ordered the one that was listed as compatible with...

    1993 Defender 90

    Oh and also do i need to grease up the ujs when I bought a whole new propshaft ? It has what looks like grease on the outer bits of those nipple things already

    1993 Defender 90

    Thanks. Sorry I'm crap at explaining. I shud have took a picture. Where I took the propshaft off at the front in the section that's still on the car (not propshaft) there's like this concave bit that has what looks like a clip over something . In all that area it's dead dry so wondered did...

    That's off and prop shaft is finally out! . (3 days later) What size socket is that massive nut on the gearbox flange ? Biggest I have is 27mm and it's not big enough . Also do I put any grease in where the prop shaft has come off the front diff (?) ? In there looks well dry. If so what...
