Brilliant! Thanks for looking that up. Makes sense as stones, muck will drop out

Got new Ferodo pads that I’m fitting tomorrow.They’re chamfered on one edge (see photo). No fitting instructions but after googling & looking at ferodo websassume the chamfer goes at the top

That sounds a plan. Easier & cheaper than changing discs

New discs last year! Think they were Bearmach ones as well.

Good morning all. I’m looking for advice on best front calipers to buy for my 1992 Defender 200tdi. The originals were replaced 6 years ago but I’ve noticed the pads only touch the middle of the discs and the top / bottoms of discs aren’t touched. I’ve seen another thread on here where some...

Advisory on rear anti roll bar bushes on last MOT so replaced them & the drop links. Thankfully everything was well greased when it was rebuilt a few years ago so no drama getting everything undone.

Fitted Raptor binnacle mount & then binnacle to my Defender about 10 yrs ago before the big rebuild. Got fed up of loose binnacle rattling & every secondhand one I looked at had broken lugs. Hardest part of fitting was getting the steering wheel off

Oops yes. I’ve been looking at newer model but see no reason to upgrade at the moment

Not a sport. It’s the full RANGERover 409 model

Would also add that iif you really want to see the fuel economy drop and boot it hard it shifts like a scalded moggie! Frightens a few people who think it’s just a big lump with a diesel and not a sports car.

I’ve got a 2014 4.4 TDV8. Absolutely love it. On last autumns NC 500 trip we did a total of 1200 miles door to door as spent week prior to the NC500 around Elgin & Grantown on Spey. Got an average of 36 mph. Much less pootling around town but I tend to use the RR for journeys the Defender would...

As above. Outdoor also have fried the starter motor. Friend did it to a Mini Cooper I had years ago. New battery, alternator & starter motor required

My 2014 Range Rover 405 has only done 47,000 miles. I’ve had it 6 years but since retiring in 2018 it hardly gets used. I love it though and on a long journey it’s fantastically comfortable. The sat Nav is a thing of utter ****e though & I’d consider changing to a newer model just to get CarPlay...

Changed all the hub flanges. After 234 k miles there was a fair bit of wear. Got rid of lots of the clunks when taking up drive when changing gear.

I bought a Bought a Halfords 1/2” drive socket set about 20 years ago. Ratchet failed y’day changing hub drive flanges on the Defender. My local Halfords replaced it under warranty this morning no questions asked. Great service.

‘‘Twas the pivot point. Didn’t like being left for a month while we were in Oz!

After a few weeks visiting family in Oz I gave the lightweight a run out. The brake pedal isn’t returning & I have to lift the pedal with my toes. When it’s down the brake lights obviously stay on. There doesn’t seem to be any brake fluid loss so am I right in assuming it’s the master cylinder...

I got mine from Demand Engineering Ltd in Suffolk. Not cheap but all stainless, including hanging brackets & flanges. Will last a lifetime. Previous ‘stainless’ exhaust from a well known manufacturer et had mild steel hangers & flanges. The Demand Enginerring one fitted a treat - no fettling to...

Morning all. I’ve noticed something recently I’ve never noticed before. My heater works well and delivers plenty of heat. But, when I switch it on I notice there’s a distinct drop in volts shown on the dash volt gauge. Without the heater on the needle in the gauge is almost at the red line. Turn...

We got a Dyson robot a few years ago. Great little machine. I only got it cos its got tank tracks! Does the job though
