Put some rear trailing arm bushes on my defender about 10,000 miles ago. Recently have noticed that it’s feeling a bit oversteery and is wandering about and I suspect that it’s probably the bushes again. Does look like a bit of wear on the big doughnut ones. I would have thought they should...

Cat and EGR gone here and passed MOT last week no bother. Need them gone if want to get full benefit of remap.

I’ve heard of them but I thought they just did sales. Will check them out, have heard that buzz weld stuff is a decent option as well.

hi I have been thinking about treating my chassis with something like dinitrol for a while and with the dry weather I am thinking now could be the time to do it. Not settled on what to treat it with but dinitrol seems to be favourite so far but am open to suggestions. Land Rover spends a lot...

is an oil pressure light, not oil levels. Should check oil at least once a week minimum. I sometimes check every day as routine as all machines get checked every day. If you were to let your oil get so low that the low pressure light comes on because the pump can’t get enoug oil I think you are...

I was only joking. My cows are pretty tame but I have over 170 head so I ain’t going to spend time halter training them all. And do shove em in tight but they can still move about.

but what if i want to take more than 4? like next thursday when i'm going to the market. these guys aren't small, 6-700kg plus. i'm normally almost at the 3.5 tonne limit.

likewise. a nosey cow half snapped my aerial off so reception is a little poor just now!

i meant i wouldn't, have changed it now. id be lucky if i got 2 or 3 in like that.

And good luck trtsining some of mine to walk to a halter. They’d take off across the field with you dragging behind!

If I put the partition door in line with rear axle I wouldn't get 5 big lads in.

Steering isn’t great as steering box is leaking a bit but I did replace the ball joint in the arm underneath end of last year. Problem tends to occur when they go to the front of the trailer and the back of LR sits right down and the front comes up. Can be a bit like a bucking bronco.

Tying with halters sounds nice but it isn’t practical. These aren’t halter trained show beasts and I don’t now anyone who does that. Best thing is to have them tight in trailer but they can still move around a lot. Going to get new springs. Choice seems to be original Land Rover (bit dear for...

If your springs are as hard up as mine i reckon it will make a difference. I didn’t realise how bad they were still I took a proper look at how much squash I was getting. Shocks are new. Trailer is pretty new and tyres are all at correct pressures and in good condition. As for nose weight easy...

Take your points on original Landrover springs but they are quite dear, £280/set from what I can see. I have found some puma springs that have been taken off by someone lifting their Landrover. Are they just the same as td5 springs?

Was searching though forums yesterday and the problem was that there were so many different opinions and most of them related to lifting landrovers which I don’t really think is the thing for what I do. If britpart springs are ok then that suits me because they are the cheapest. My landrover...

Hi I reckon my springs are shot. Got a 2004 90 TD5 and was thinking Landrover was swinging a bit when towing sometimes and worked out that partly was to do with the back of the Landrover sitting down so much. After looking at what the rear spring rates should be and seeing how much my Landy...

Have been taking a look at Landrover and have decided that the springs are shot which might be a major part of the problem. So next question is which springs...

I have no idea of my mpg because I fill out a tank without a flow meter and don’t trust fuel gauge. I normally get to 240ish Miles then fill up. How many miles do others get out of a tank?

2004 with 196,000 Miles here, owned since new. Engine, gearbox untouched. Usual brake callipers, shocks replaced, few electrical niggles, couple of starters, couple of fuel pumps, some wheel bearings. Usual oil seeps. Chassis pretty sound tho surface rust, aluminium body a bit battered (cows...
