Can recommend upgrading to heated windscreen hence why i have a spare lol

I have a windscreen and frame available but i'm in Scotland

Been off the forum for awhile and used to follow this thread regularly I'm so sorry to read about the 110 being written off it was a thing off beauty :( but glad your ok which is the main thing.

It was driving fine went to my daughters no issues then on way home started making ratcheting noise that just got worse. I swapped it out a year ago with a box I tried rebuilding myself that’s now failed too

Yip total malkied!!

I did when originally happened they weren’t interested as gearbox was out of warranty. The gears on the pinion shaft look slightly distorted and most damage at bottom off the gear

Finally got round to stripping the gearbox that I replaced in my Defender last year and found the layshaft is missing quite a few bits of teeth. I’ve attached some pics hopefully someone might know why it’s done this. Gearbox was a rebuilt box from a company down south (not ashcroft) and only...

Was told need a tapered tool as the bushes are plastic and over sized?

Hi has anyone ever replaced the front radius arm bushes? I have a press but been told you need special tool to actually press them in.

It's come up on my works computer too

I prefer the electric fan my 200tdi defender warms up quicker and the fan hardly ever comes on think in summer it came on a few times when weather was hot and sat in traffic. Also had it come on couple times when driving it hard off road I've got the thermostat set to come on just when temp...

No problem at all. Definitely not the weather for working on Landy outside luckily I have a large garage to work in lol Unfortunately having to work outside on nightshift :(

12 O'clock ring a bell with me it's possible that someone drilled out the hole that's at 8 o'clock. I would fit the dowel at 12o'clock

The Dowel bolt is slighly larger on the shank but the actual bolt heads and threads are the same diameter once you have the swivel off the bolt will only fit in one hole

Did you try Gemm 4x4 They might have the parts on the shelf.

How can you run it without the turbo?

Sorry I got all confused never read your post properly Yeah the bottom pin bolts are M8 still 10.9 I believe as part of the steering and suspension.The tops are M10 and the bolts that connect the swivel to axle are M10. If your in Alloa it may be worth giving Gemm 4x4 a call they might have them...

10.9 Grade and M10

Here's a pic of the side steps I have fitted they sit lower than the rock sliders you have. Originally was going to fit rock sliders but my oldest daughter had hip surgery when she was younger and wouldn't br able to get in if I had fitted them. She has no problem getting in with these side...

Can't believe you've had to strip the engine again :( Hopefully you get it sorted this time mate ;) I would keep the turbo standard for now until your sure all the issues been having with oil usage have been solved you can get standard turbo cartridges relatively cheap on eBay.
