So onto the actual tasks at hand. This was yesterday: First we have the replacement casing I wanted to jet wash the casing and clean it up with a copper wire brush but didn't want stuff inside and also didn't want paint inside so I made some temporary covers These fit onto the axle...

The other Britpart parts are calipers, pads and discs which are absolutely fine. All bearings are Timken and all seals are Corteco. All nuts and bolts are new :)

Well here goes.... I have the bits :) You will notice the BLUE BOXES well the swivel housing rebuild kits are the G kits which means that all the parts are OEM parts: Thats OEM swivel, OEM swivel pin, Corteco seals and Timken bearings.

Scary, I'm doing mine at the moment. Just building the replacement

OK virtually got everything so the rebuild can start..... I've started a new thread specifically for the rebuild.

Well my current front axle passed it's MOT but there were some advisories i.e. swivels has some pitting, brake discs uneven wear (the edges!) and wheel bearings both sides. Also the diff pan is squashed but not enough to cause damage to the diff. Anyway I've decided to rebuild both axles with...

I suggest you take it back to the store and ask them. The steering wheel on a Defender is quite large and some steering locks just don't fit. Also a lot of the cheaper ones are not actually very good. There are a few decent steering locks and a few decent pedal covers that are worth looking at.

Failed MOT 3-4 years ago and then sat in the corner of the farm's yard for over 2 years before being removed and brought to Preston. The interior is very rough and manky and the body is as bad. It failed the MOT due to the entire rear end being rotten so basically we have a decent engine, R380...

I'll have a look later

Where are you? as I am interested. If it's close enough and it is the 10 spline casing that accepts 24 spline shafts I'll take them. What year model are they off......

I've done it so if you have any queries just ask.

You can get the clock multi-plugs off Ebay or PaulMC on here and make your own for under £30, I did and you can make it specifically for the clocks you have. Chances of finding a ROW spec dash loom are quite small.

Which model? I have a normal 300TDi binnacle somewhere in the garage having fitted a TD5 one.

Mine went stiff all of a sudden and it just needed some oil....... Ooooh Errrrrr missus!!!!! :) Just check the power steering fluid level.

:) Thanks everyone...... Well I've got the garage all cleared out ready so just need to start getting all the bits sorted. It was absolutely tipping it down here earlier so couldn't get the bits off the disco.

My thinking too but just wanted to be completely safe with the job. I going to try and remove the radiator, front axle/prop/suspension and steering box for now

Thanks. I thought so but just wanted to be absolutely sure before I bought the kit.

Just to double check: 1) It is the 3/16" brake tool for the Defender 2) Is a 300TDi Defender 1994 definitely 24 spline? 3) I have a 300TDi Discovery 1 parked on my drive for spares. If I remove both front wheels in turn and remove the half shafts so I can remove the front diff will the...

EDIT: Sorry, need to check something before I can make an offer.......
