Hi Dippypud I had it all apart & have repacked bearings...didn't think to look at brand but will now have a look as I'll have it all apart again to solve problem

Hi steve24v Thanks for that...its 1st time I've ever done these & was focusing more on getting preloaded right...I guess its a bit of a juggling act

Hi all I've just replaced the nearside top & bottom swivels on my 90 but I still have play at 6 o'clock position...there's no play at 3 to 9 position so I don't think its wheel bearings...does the bottom swivel pin actually wear? TIA Steve

Hi Knappster I forgot about Micheldever will have a look on their site & not looked at black circles yet

Hi all Can anyone recommend a tyre fitter/company in Hampshire that doesn't cost the earth?...I know these are big boots as I'm after a set of 265/75x16s...unless someone's got some they want to get rid of? Cheers

Hi adyw I recently added a heated rear screen to my 87 90 too.I bought a timed relay for a freelander off ebay(see pics) & it was pretty straightforward to wire in.

Hi all updated pics. thought this might be of interest to those of you who may be wanting to fit aftermarket temperature gauges and needing to make an adapter for the sender unit as it seems there's not one readily available. The adaptor is 5/8 unf thread to match engine thread. I machined...

Thanks for everyones input...was just a thought...think will prob keep as is:)

Don't know if its a conversion or not,turbo sticks up if that tells you anything.I agree about once its done its done,if I do choose to go through side of tub it would be behind rear wheel. Thanks for your input : )

Not looking to make it noisier particularly,I quite like the look where exhaust exits through side of tub so was wondering whether people kept back box still.

Hi all As the title says I'm looking for ideas for running the exhaust on Joe my 90.Would deleting the back box make it much noisier. Show me what you've done,tia cheers Steve

Hi all I've got a set of disco 1 coil springs to put on my 90 but I'm not sure which spring goes where other than the 2 springs with just purple paint marks go on the back. Can one of you tell me which side front springs go please? Many thanks in advance

Thanks lynall think I'll invest in one of these...I bought a cheap harmonic puller earlier & it just bent up...you get what you pay for i guess sometimes‍‍

Hi all Is there anybody in the Hampshire area that has a defender 90 200 tdi crank pulley puller that you would be willing to lend/loan me...Happy to negotiate beer tokens on return Many thanks in advance Steve

Ignore calliper & disc they're being replaced

Hi The wolf...wasn't sure if it was mot failure

Hi tottot its a 87 but as you probably know the rears were drum brake

Hi all Need some help in identifying which rear axle I have on my 90...its got discs so is it a defender or discovery axle? Reason I'm asking is I need disc backing plates...anyone have any spare? Will also be looking for discs Thanks in advance
