There is hardly any sign of damage to the lock ,is that normal ? It was deffo locked but they've got in with no real damage to the lock ,it's just a bit stiff now to lock/unlock now

I am yes,ordered new lock nuts but will worry until I get them on,I'm sure they would have taken it if it wasn't for deterrents

It is yes

hi all My defender got broke into last night,back door.lots of tools inside but only a few missing,the most worrying is the locking nut key has gone . I'm sure they would have taken the landrover if it hadn't got the disk lock,Clutchclaw ect on

That's great,many thanks That's next weekends job for me then

Thanks for the replys,excuse my ignorance but how will I know/how do I check ?

Sorry,it's a 1994 300tdi

Hi guys I've been trying to find the Cause of a clunk when taking up drive ,I've change u/js,Checked half shafts and they seem ok,I can't find any play on the wheels. Is there anything else I can check? How do I know if it's A frame ball joint?? I'm a bit of a novice at this defender maintaince...

Saturday would be great for me ,I've got no CB as yet and my defender is just more or less as standard with no offroad mods, no winch or anything.i have a few tow ropes and that's about it

Count me in please,I would love a go at it

I would like to try a bit of greenlaning,I'm the same,complete beginner at it and could do without causing any damage to my landy if possible as I use it for work,I live in East Yorkshire but haven't a clue where any such lanes are near me

I would like to try green laning,if there's anyone around East Yorkshire I could tag along with,I'm a complete beginner to all this but I'm itching to have a go

Thanks guys,I find all this really interesting ,I should take a few photos or the crossmember corrosion ? I would like to attempt to find and sort the clunk in the driveline myself now if I can .. I used to be ok at fixing and tinkering with cars in my younger days (80s) so I could maybe save a...

Thanks for the replys ,I will start saving some penny's and try get my crossmember sorted. I understand what you are saying Waldershelf and I did say to the mechanic about getting the U/j done and he said (rightly or wrongly) do the u/j at same time as strip the drive line to source the problem...

Thanks for all the replys,I think I will try and sort the chassis out first with a new rear crossmember,does anyone have an idea of what it will cost me in labour if I buy the crossmember and get garage to remove old and fit it/weld it?

I forgot to add I also have advisory on U/j bearing play..i have a clunk on taking up drive and the mechanic said that it's probably the shock from the constant clunk that has worn the u/j ...he said it would be best to sort out the clunk in the driveline first before changing the u/j, are there...

I'm also new to this Landy lark,I bought a 110 hardtop with a 300tdi engine and I must say I really like it,easy to work on,runs great and plenty of readily available cheap parts

Thanks guys,will save up some pennies and get myself a swing away then. Glad I didn't just go ahead and fit it !!

Hi all My spare wheel is mounted inside my 110hardtop at the moment and I need to move it onto the rear door due to needing to carry long items that won't fit inside with the wheel in. I have the mounting bracket and it looks like the same bracket that is used to mount it on back door?? Is...
