    I've had a recon power steering box fitted by a garage (6 bolt type, defender 110). Now I feel a slight resistance when starting to turn from straight. Also one morning there was a big resistance - I was setting off and it felt as though I was trying to turn the wheel into the kerb (except...

    Rusty Door Bottoms

    if you unscrew the door hinges from the bulkhead there's a square hole where you can squirt waxoil in. Or your favourite gloop. There is also a drain hole under the bottom where you could insert a spray tube if you have one of those, but it might be tricky to get right up to the top. Those...

    Seat belt anchorage, 110

    Hi, what want to do is install lap belts on the sideways facing bench seats in the back of my 110 CSW. Would someone who has factory-fitted ones be able to tell me how the belts are anchored? I can then copy the reinforcements and it should be as good as. You'll just need to stick your head up...
