    Steering clunk after fitting new indicator switch

    hello, hope for a little help...yesterday a mechanic replaced the indicator stork (and mounting assembly) behind the steering wheel. It took only 10mins, and all seemed fine. After 5minutes driving I now find that there is a defined click (or clunk) every time the wheel turns and re-passes...

    Meyer snowplow suspension...help

    Thanks tacr2man & vilguy...so I think you guys are both in agreement on this then. Understanding the way this setup works now (newbie....sorry!) - yes it will need to be TUV Swiss equivalent approved and I'll need to show the modification to a test garage. I have a 4x4 specialist that is quite...

    Meyer snowplow suspension...help

    Ok, so I'm taking it all into consideration and seeing that this adjustable air system looks the way to go....with or without twin shocks. I will look into the alternator etc when it's fitted in September. I then have a couple of months to add this if necessary. As it gets so cold here (over...

    Meyer snowplow suspension...help

    thanks for this idea and advice. Not sure I am kitted out for this kind of job, but maybe my local garage can help....problem is that it gets expensive doing this in Switzerland, so trying to find a cost effective option that will still work. I've got suitable rods to mark the street that we'll...

    Meyer snowplow suspension...help

    Thanks... The battery is the standard 110ah, 800 cca. Voltage measures good. Yes it runs it's own hydraulics off the vehicles electric system. Do I really need to consider upgrading alternator?...hadn't thought of this. Vilguy...what air helper springs are you referring to please? Sounds good.

    Meyer snowplow suspension...help

    Thanks vilguy. This was my worry. However as we are in the mountains, and at the same height as the ski resort on the other side of the valley...it's fair to say it will be more than occasional use. When snow comes...it comes! Our guests come on skis...and the track I will clear (leaving a snow...

    Meyer snowplow suspension...help

    Thanks for your comments so far. So maybe I should be looking at shocks and springs all round do we think? Can I get away with TF205 kit? As non Land Rover parts are these ok? Agreed that infact most of the time it will only be a momentary load, and once the track has snow bedded in/frozen...

    Hi everyone, I've a defender 110, 2005 and am having a Meyer drive pro snow plow fitted in September ready for the winter , but I'm unsure as to the best plan for suspension. Some details; we live in Switzerland in the mountains. We run a guesthouse/restaurant and we have to keep the 3 mile...

    Hello from Switzerland

    Hi everyone. I'm a Brit living in the Swiss alps owning a 2005 defender 110. I've also a 2002 freelander, but that's just a handy 4x4 for longer journeys for us. We've a mountain restaurant & guesthouse (1800m above sea level) that has a small track, 5km long going up to it and we use the cars...
