Checked all fluids, looking good New battery - now have full beam working again Replaced a bunch of rivnuts that the previous owner had installed poorly Rewired in a very simple Bluetooth amp to a couple of 10 inch speakers in the front to...

Thanks Phill!

Nothing missing… Search wading plugs

Nothing missing from them, or have I lost something along the way? 😂

I’m still learning about the Defender 90 as I go. Was hoping someone could help me understand what the two “holes” are on the photos attached. These are captured from a video I took underneath when I was looking for something else. Appreciate...

I’ve been gifted a 1m roof light bar but without any brackets. Does anyone have examples of how the same type of light bars have been fitted, conscious that it’s not the full roof width. ✌🏻

I’ve noticed today that in 5th gear at higher speed (55/60) and when I take my foot off the accelerator, it feels like I have more “resistance” (for want of a better word). I can feel it through the accelerator pedal and generally in the cabin...

Britpart roof rails and Vickywood awning all go today. The Vickywood stuff is seriously great quality I have to say. Going to get a 190 mighty oak roof tent for the summer for some camping fun with the little one. Next thing is to get another...

I have 2 brand new side steps that I bought from LR Parts but have decided I don’t need. STC7631 - Folding Side Step for Defender - Genuine Style Fold-Down Side Steps for LandRover Defender - Can be Fitted to Front or Rear Side Doors They cost...

If it turns out to be the UJs don't buy cheap ones. I hate doing them with a passion, got a propshaft instead last time. Another thing to check if you think it's from the transfer box is the output flange and bearing the prop bolts onto.

The videos linked above - trailerfitter toolbox, will be so helpful for you. Loads of guides but there’s theory in them too from an old school fitter. Also look up the mike Brittania vids.

Sounds like a UJ or A-frame ball joint (I reckon UJ).

I’ve added a fair few hours of watch time to Mikes videos recently. He’s so good for stuff.

The first one I received that didn’t work was an aftermarket speedo cable from LR parts The one I have just received which worked was from Wick 4X4 on eBay. I wouldn’t normally get something from eBay but trusted the photo where I could see how...

Thanks. Really useful.

UPDATE: I ordered another cable. Same part number but the version which came had a black plastic end rather than white at the clock end. This one’s connector was much further out (like the photo above) and connected sweetly and I now have a...

Thanks @resto_d1 - appreciate it

You’ll know when you find it. If your not experienced YouTube these points as you’ll soon find someone like mike or tasmania rovers has it covered. You want to look for play in your UJs, excess slack in prop. FYI UJs are a consumable and they...

Might sound a dumb question, but what am I checking for? 🤣

Hi Guys, I've experienced this only in the past few days, and other than describing it as a 'clunk' I don't know what to look for. I appear to be getting a clunk every now and again, fairly violent, from what sounds like the transfer box. This...

Put some seat risers/rails on yesterday, should have done it years ago! Massive difference if you’re not a short arsė!

Not sure about butterflies but they collect snow rendering them useless.

Trying to do some more research into this, I’ve come across this image showing the same model of cable I have - PRC6022 The Speedo end of the cable in this photo comes out further than the end of the white plastic connector, but the cable I have...

My thinking is that the engine will turn over with low battery voltage i.e 12 volts but the LEDs may require slightly more to fire up. My TD5 Disco would fire up no problem with low volts but it wouldn't rev as the ECU didn't like it. Worth...

Eg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394081005516 (I've not purchased that one, know nothing about it, etc etc but it shows what's possible for a tenner, ish)

“Owning up” is a 7 day ban @julianf 😂 Light stalk, indicator stalk are both brand new (washer stalk is not, but I had assumed this was totally unrelated to lighting). Fuse box is very ropey - glass fuses, spliced wires etc Wiring on the light...

Great info, thanks!
