Lol, understood! I'll try to keep out of the way! Cheers.

One other thing, is there anything I needed to consider when reconnecting the airbag? I assume it's ok to have the battery connected with the ignition key out? Last thing I need is the bloody thing going off!!! :eek:

Jackpot. Screw extractor arrived, followed the instructions, out came the little bleeder. Marvellous bit of kit. It's called 'grabit', and it works a treat. Thanks again for all the advice & the excellent forum - couldn't have done it without. All that is left now is re-filling and...

Nope, definitely stuck. Rounded off a good 'un! Thanks a lot for your help chaps, much appreciated. I've ordered a screw extractor off t'interweb, and will let you know how I get on. I'll post some pictures of my predicament. Cheers!!

Thanks. Do you (or anyone else) have any experience of screw extractors? I'm guessing it's probably worth a try before I destroy the threads by drilling!!!

Hi chaps, First of all, huge thanks for the informative photos and walk throughs on this site. BUT, I have a problem. I'm in the process of renewing my o rings. I've removed all the trim etc, and gained access to the screw holding the O ring connector, but it is completely rounded off. I can't...

:lol: I've had a similar problem with my windows. I've got a replacement switch pack - is it just a case of swapping them over? Cheers.

Mine was pulling to the left too. When i had my new tyres fitted, they aligned the wheels, but still no improvement. I went back to them with the toe-out figures quoted in RAVE, and having adjusted it, it's now fine. Just a thought - hope it helps......

Just got back from the tyre place (who fitted my new AT2's last week), told them the story, they checked the track & balance, and guess what, BOTH were out!::frusty: So, after they corrected it, I took her out for a spin, and the wobble has..... wait for it....... disappeared!!!:clap2...

No wonder the horse is so ****ed off..:doh:.... Much cheaper to run though.....:rolleyes:

Right - just got the motor back from the garage. He's performed a thorough check of the steering - all ok. Still wobbling. He (the mechanic) bought HIS P38 down (with which incidentally, he has no problems!), and put his steering damper onto my car - Still wobbling. He then swapped all the...

Yesterday i had General Grabber AT2's 255/60/18 fitted on my p38 4.6 - went out for a long drive today, towing a heavy horsebox (with a horse) , and i think they are bloody great! I had Wranglers on before, but i much prefer the Generals - you could do a lot worse!

Here's an update for anyone who cares! - had General Grabber AT2's put on today, balanced, adjusted the tracking (way out apparently), and the wobble has ALMOST gone, but it's still not quite right. New steering damper going on next week - will let you know what happens. Thanks again to the...

Brilliant chaps - many thanks for the replies. The Wrnglers are on their way out anyway, anyone had experience of General Grabber AT2's? Or any recommendations with which tyre would suit? 70 % on road, with a bit of horsebox towing. Cheers!

Hi All, Just bought my first p38 4.6 hse 'cos my old Defender went up in flames, so thought i'd 'upgrade' - Ha! - anyway, i'm having the same issue - fairly impressive wobble :crazy_driver: on the steering at around tthe 50 - 55 mph mark. 18" alloys on Goodyear Wranglers, all balanced, but...

Firstly, i'd like to recommend a garage/mechanic near me in Bournemouth - Stunning Services, really helpful, knowledgable and friendly - and relatively inexpensive!! Recently got myself my first Landy, a 1987 defender 90, and he checked her over, did a full service and replaced the cambelt, and...

Brilliant - so no worries with wheel rub on full lock then?

I give as good as i get! ;) I'm looking at the Dakar tyres- it's going to be used as a shoot vehicle, plus a bit of towing horseboxes, plus a bit of fun off roading - nothing too serious......yet...... I've only had it a couple of days and i feckin love it already!

Afternoon all, I've just bought my first Landy (a 1986 '90' with a 300 TDi conversion, plus a fair bit off off roading gear). I hope this hasn't been covered elsewhere on this forum - but here's my dilemma: I'd like to change the tyres, as the ones that are on it at the moment are pretty much...
