I have the Britpart swivel kit but once I had it all on the bench I noticed the bearings inside the stub axle, and that they were looking a bit orange. All this work isn’t exactly by choice, I took it to a garage and after a report I quickly realised that the last owners MOT with zero advisories...

Sorry, late night post. More details would have been sensible. It’s a 2000 TD5. I’m already changing all the brakes including callipers pipes, hoses, and pads.

I’m changing my swivel bearings and it’s all new to me. I found some bearings in the stub axle so I figure I better change these while I’ve got everything open but I’m getting confused with some of these stub axle kits I keep seeing. Mostly because they all mention inner and outer seals. I can...

Thanks. That sounds like a plan and might save me £70.

I’m replacing the bearings on my swivels right now. I took a look at the CV joints and while they seem okay the grease is pretty terrible and it’s got that orange brown indicating some rusting. Should I just clean it out and pack new grease or should I replace them? I’m putting through a...

So I’ve replaced the front passenger belts but I really need to get everything else replaced, I wouldn’t trust any of it with my family’s life. I’m really struggling to find the part numbers and I think I ordered the wrong ones for the from twice before I got the right ones, I’d rather that...

I’ve already bought a whole drop arm with the ball joint already in. I’ve checked LRWorkshop and it says the drag link trackend is RH thread, which is the part I’ve ordered, so hopefully I’m okay there. I’m probably going to replace that whole joint where the drop arm ball joint, steeei no...

Okay, thanks for all the replies. I've just been back under my Defender and realised my confusion; the rod I was looking at only has a trackrod end on one side and the tracking rod is much further back. My drop arm balljoint is buggered so I assume this is why this trackrod end has gone as well...

So I had a mechanic look at my 110 and he came back with a laundry list of problems, mostly routine maintenance that had been neglected. One issue is “steering arm n/s trackrod end”. The garage isn’t open at the moment and I’m trying to order all my stuff for this. Am I right in assuming that by...

Thanks for the reply. I looked them up but they're a little too far away from me considering it's going to be two round trips. The actual place I'm looking at is Aurora Powder Coatings as they've got really good reviews. What would I search for to look into enamel coatings? I search for powder...

I’d heard that powder coating was the strongest. Googling says the same thing as well. How do you know enamel is stronger?

I’m taking my new door to be powder coated in a few days and they want the RAL code for it. All I can find are the Land Rover paint code, which I don’t think are much help, and an STC code but I don’t even know what that is. Can anyone help me out?

So when we’re talking about backings are we saying to stay away from open cell foam because it will absorb water? I was thinking that rubber backing would cause water to sit and that something breathable would be better.

I'm sorry if this has been covered loads of times but I'm struggling to find the keywords to search for. The back of my 110 CSW is some big cold metal space right now. It's got no seats in and all the trim has been removed. I found this picture while I was searching this forum but now I can't...

So I want my TD5 to smell less like an old barn so I removed the dashboard and realised this would be a good time to think about reducing the noise as well. Having everything off I've found there's a load of black material behind the upper part above the footwells. It's looks like 4mm vinyl and...

I've heard of a few people having issues, but where else am I going to get a galvanised door? I don't think I've seen anyone else selling them. Can anyone who's had a bad experience elaborate a bit? I've no idea what problems people have had, just a bunch of people saying they won't use them...

So I'm replacing the upper rear side body panels on my 2000 110 and I'm going to do the safari door at the same time. The panels are windowed and I'm going to buy a solid window kit from Masai. The safari door is going to be from SP-4x4, one of the all galvanised ones. Can anyone check my...

How involved is it? I haven’t been able to find anything about anyone else doing it, or a guide or anything. I’m removing a lot of bit to replace the rear upper side panels and the capping a in the not too distant future. I’m guessing it would be worth doing at the same time but how much more...

So my C post is in pretty bad shape. I got quoted £600 - £1000 to replace the whole C post or about £400 just to cut out and replace the lower section. I can get the whole galvanised side section from YRM for about £500 each. I'm not really afraid of taking my 110 to bits but only so far as...

I realised yesterday that one of the rear windows was slightly open, I’m thinking this may have been causing it. I was looking into the Toad Ai606 as a replacement alarm but noticed that there was a thread about this alarm from 2010. Is really hope there was something a bit newer to replace it.
