    Help please

    I had this on mine with the caliper on the rear left taking the thicker pads and the one on the right the thinner ones. Took me longer than id care to admit (that and I didn't want to spend the money) to realise that id obviously replaced the rear left caliper at some point with a different part...

    Death wobble and swivel pin preload.

    How do I do the Naked Gun facepalm gif? The one shot grease works absolutely fine, pretty much most people use it including myself and I've never her a problem with it. Your grease isn't going in because you scooped it into a ****ing funnel and are hoping gravity will work it's magic. It's...

    No brakes after MC change

    Yeah, it's supposed to be 0.5mm clearance which isn't exactly easy to work out but it's definitely making contact with the piston, I'll just need to try and find the correct length to adjust it to as there doesn't seem to be any set figure. I'll give it a good bleed tonight incase there is still...

    There's a part number on the caliper body, usually starts with FTC

    Adjust your steering lock stops. And buy actual swivel grease in the tubes, you don't remove it from the tube like that before using it. Do you squeeze all your toothpaste into a bowl first anaw?

    I have never had a problem squeezing swivel grease from a bag. Do you keep yours in the freezer?

    No brakes after MC change

    I've replaced my brake master cylinder tonight and after being hopeful my brakes would be sorted they're now even worse than before. Despite bleeding 3 times including cracking the brake pipe unions at the master cylinder (with no air coming out anywhere anyway) I've got basically no brakes...

    Collecting wheels/tyres

    You'll be able to fit them into a 90. It's tight but they'll fit, just stack them upright

    I'll try whatever else I can at this point

    Windscreen bracket query

    Never seen ones with a bolt on the outside. Has someone drilled all the way through and used a nut and bolt as a fix for a stripped thread? The new brackets will have three threaded holes and you screw bolts into front inside.

    Defender fires but does not start

    It's not getting fuel, there's a leak or a hole somewhere. Check the fuel lines. Failing that check your air filter

    Apologies for the late reply. I think i would rather get to the bottom of my issues than tweak the pump just yet. I fitted a new fuel line fed directly from a jerry can in the footwell but what I didn't do is connect the return line as I wanted to isolate each fuel line and hope that would show...

    110 "Heavy Duty" Package

    Mine is an ex utility vehicle and has such has the side lockers and whatnot. The chassis was originally stamped HD although that didn't stop it turning into a rusted mess and going to the big scrapyard in the sky. It also originally had a PTO winch on it although this was sadly removed when I...

    I know you can adjust the diaphragm setting and star wheel for low end boost, my diaphragm was already set to what most people seem to go for I.e about 1o'clock position. I don't need any low end boost, it's just top end im after but I wasn't sure if those could just be done using the fuel...

    Lack of power in 4th and 5th gear.

    Back to this ****show. I ran some diesel purge through it, it didn't like it at first but it did end up drinking it all like a good little engine should. Took it out a drive and it started off well, got up to 65mph quite happily and fairly well, cruised along the motorway at this speed with...

    A squirter? Thought you had to go to pornhub for those. It's the brakepipe to your caliper but I'm concerned you can't even recognise something as basic as that.

    Lack of power in 4th and 5th gear.

    Removed the cover off the top of the injection pump and the boost diaphragm is immaculate with no holes or splits whatsoever. It did have oil on top however but I suspect this is from years ago when my head gasket failed and the engine ran away on its own oil. I cleaned everywhere else out but...

    Lack of power in 4th and 5th gear.

    I know, that's just what I had to hand but it's still given me an idea of what boost im getting and it looks decent enough. I've tried blipping the throttle, I've tried flooring it for a bit but still nothing. I don't know why it suddenly started working great then went back to crap unless the...
