Aah. Yes that. 👍🏻

OWUT? I’m sure it’s obvious when you know…

Sorry Andy, didn’t mean anything untoward. The some remnant of my home ahem ’gym’ days when I did do that kind of thing. Now used as a weight to stop the ramps moving. The other ramp has a 120A 12V battery as a weight. 👍🏻

Andyfreelandy, Now, steady on! Freddie, Mother Nature kindly obliged the watering of the plants t’other neet. Tyre : 😡

Thanks Dar ran, Might just do it and see how it goes for the September MOT. Just been prepping the rear end for underseal/paint. Note my MK2 fuel cradle support bar with the ventilation intake. Also note the back box air dam innovation.

Thanks. But doesn’t it come under the same category as deleting the cat. Ok until MOT time when it fails on emissions as my 03 MG TF just has. Although that was the U/S cat not that I’d removed it.

Really? Could you expand on why it’s good for the engine. Cheers, M

Did the obligatory service - oil, oil , air, turbo breather, and that other one at the back near the air filter( technical term) with the two seals that some delete. Cleaned the EGR. Went the boot cubby to get the new sump bolt and washer and oh NO! A Fishtank!!! So that takes the ‘to do’ list...

Thanks Chris and Andy. I’ll report back hopefully later this week. Got oil/air/turbo filters to change. So will have a good look around. Might the job that tips me over to buying a MIG at last….. 👍🏻

Hi All, Having read this: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/fuel-tank-cradle-an-alternative.361384/ My cradle is suffering from an almost completely rusted through bar. The plates are ok with only what looks like surface rust. I’ve got the bars that Andyfreelandy linked to. Can anyone...

Replaced El Cheapo front drop links with APs heavy duty jobbies. Completely shut up the thud, thud that was getting worse. However….. front near side tyre is down to 2.6mm. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Fitted the Meyle HD drop links today. Completely silent now. Yay!!! New tyres all round next. Recommendations?: 225/55/17s Thanks to all for your replies. Cheers, Much

Spot the cause - the front bush bolt on the lower offside arm was about 3mm away from the arm face. Took some faffing to get it torqued to 190Nm with tyres on the ground.

AndyFreeLandy - Is it ok to do that, obviously only temporarily. What about the nylock nuts, do you have to put a new one on? Andy Warren - I’ll get the Meyle one anyway. I want it right and the cost is nothing really. I’ll check the top suspension mounts, see if I can get them to make a noise...

Got the ARBs changed. As per the photo they ok to me. Took it for a test; pretty much the same. Dropp link investigation tomorrow weather permitting.

Thanks again Dar ran. Wizard, no side steps for me. So one less thing to check. Thanks for the suggestion though. 👍🏻

Thanks Dar ran, How would I test that? Front up off floor , wheels off and shake? 👍🏻

Funnily enough, after reading JDs first response, I went and checked the location of the drop links. Easy enough access and I know he put anti seize stuff on when he did them so might order them from AF after I’ve done the ARBs. Thanks Andy, JD.

Thanks JD. What even 5.5k miles limited? Or maybe I bought el cheapo ones. I know Nodge recommends Advanced Factors as a source. 👍🏻

Hi All, TLDR: Front knocking: bushes 14 months old, 5k miles done since. Apologies for the essay. For the past 3/4 months there’s been various knocking/creaks seemingly from the front when going over the usual high quality road surfaces here. In February last year I had the lower front arms with...
