Thanks. It's not a pipe. Some sort of bar that is curved. Thanks for the muddymods tip. I'll try them. Any tips on checking the bearings. I have a spare drive shaft, VCU etc. Might just change it.

Okay, under the old girl to fix the gear linkage. Usually story, it popped of while driving. 3rd and 4th only...hammer and cable tie and will see how long that lasts..does anyone know a good permanent fix?. I know you can't buy the linkages anymore. But as usually, you fix one thing and find 2...

Is the release clamps that are on the hardtop version as standard, the same as the release clamps for the Soft top/Canvas roof? Thanks

No the brake light on the dash. Having had a rear brake failure, its the same light that comes on as when the handbrake is on. Except of handbrake of and it comes on, usually best to prepare for impact.... This time, it was just a cable stopping the handbrake completing its final location...

Sorted. It was a Homer Simpson DOOOH moment. I had also taken the Central console out, When refitting it, the usb charger cable had slipped under, and somehow tangled up with the handbrake cable. IT prevented the handbrake from going fully down, just a few mm, but enough to leave the brake...

GAve the old girl he yearly wash. must have been a year, judging by how dirty she was.. Anyway 2 thing came of this. 1) I have conclusively and finally identified where the water gets into the boot/storage well in the FL1. Comes down the outside of the glass, past the rubber and into the door...

Don't suppose its a 3 Door in Silver??????

The Engineering works did the diff checking, Local MEchanic did the fitting and oil into the diff. Happy, as Ive used him before and he does a lot of Landrovers, that he got that right. Ill drive this one till I get a bit of cash together, and can justify getting it done. She is in need of a...

I did the one wheel up test, also spell checked my last post. Makes a bit more sense. When I got her, tyres were mismatched, so that might have damaged the original diff. Just a bit ****ed the engineering works didn't notice the replacement diff needed something. Regretting not getting it...

I have those, but a lot of work. Ground the head off, then took the 2 screws out of the brake disk (They seemed non union, came out no effort). With head of bolt ground off, eased the dust shield out of the way, and slipped disk and caliper of as one unit. took a bit of hammering and wiggling...

I had done the wheel up test, and shes looking health for the VCU. I am leaning towards the hum being the rear diff. I only got it checked at the time, and new gaskets/seals fitted. The engineering works said itwas good to go as was. Offered to replace bearing etc and recondition it, but funds...

thanks, 12mm hex socket did the trick. Land rovers cleary rust in a special way. Got the slider bolts off. The 2 sliders are not just rusted. The Landrover pixies have been in with there mirco MIG welder. These have not moved in a long time, and have no intention of coming off. 4 Lb hammer...

But the 12mm spanner is clearly to big. Very loose...11 just a bit on the small side.. I'll try a 12 mm socket tomorrow.. Maybe that will be a better fit..only 6 sided I have.

Had similar issue before with rear brake piston. Then I just got ****ed of and took a grinder to them, and bought new metric bolts that fitted. So yo the problem.. 04 freelander face lift. Td4 2.0. Manual. Front brake calipers seem to be seasing. Front drivers gets very hot compared to...

I'm looking to get a defender. Noticed that quite a few have has engine changes. One specifically that I liked has had a BMW engine fitted (m57 I think). Gear box also.. but price looks quite high for an early 90,s. I am working blind here, so any advice appreciated.

Not normally in this section, but have a defender question. Appreciate defenders of all ages have a large pricing variation, but what's the opinion on defenders that have had a completely different engine change. Would that reflect in price?. And are there considered good engine changes and...

Sorted. Once I reconnected everything, fitted new rear brake piston and brake fluid. Light went out....that's a relief...

The plastic one that bolts to front grill/bumper. Looks like original landrover. Took the rear shelf, didn't go with the nudge bumper....

Picking up a Rear Boot cover lid for a 3 door tonight. Seller has a nudge bar, which im not sure of taking or not. Looking £200 which seems abit on the high side. Is it considered worth that sort of money?

I have just had my srs ligh pop up. Have just changed the steering wheel and passenger seat. Cables all reconnected. As I'm working at a few other things. I'm leaving this to later diagnosis and repair, but watching this thread.
