Happy Christmas all, My recent Christmas present from the Defender is a leaking adjustment bolt which sits on the top cover (Gemmer 6 bolt) and around the steering adjustment screw. Any ideas were i can get a new nut rather than the whole service kit for £20? Thanks in advance

Ive also got Wolf wheels on my early 90 - studs still the same and never had an issue. Rich

Until you compression test you cant really tell. Can you feel / see pressure from the dipstick or oil filler cap when removed? Rich

Already done - water and all sorts came out. This is the second flush so nice and clean (but tinted with swivel grease). Rich

Tottot thank you for the reply, I’ll leave well alone, it’s only getting slightly damp every so often. I knew the oil migration happened on the rear but not the front. Many thanks Rich

Thanks for the reply. As you say, I’m not to bothered about the mix of oils and grease, so may leave it until I can be bothered to take of the housing and replace.

Morning all, I think i know the answer but recently changed the axle oil (Def 90, G Reg) and when checking the other day its was nearly black again. I do have a slightly weeping front right swivel seal (swivels have 1 shot grease in) so i'm thinking the axle oil is getting into the swivel...

Ive got a fuel gauge and temp gauge - Both 24V. If you PM me i'll send a few photos. I paid £70 for both (same to you) or £35. Rich

Hi are you still looking for fuel gauge? I came across one at Newbury 4x4 (sold as a 12V) but its a 24 Volt. Rich

I'm afraid it's a gamble. Some glass comes as 4mm and some 5mm. Best way is to remove one. Rich

Agreed - nowt that can really go wrong. If you’ve got air, fuel and a spark it’ll fire unless the timing is woefully out (180 degrees). If the timings correct it will still run (might be a bit ****e). Backfires normally mean timing massively out.

Sold Sold thank you

Thanks Jonathan I’ll take some recent photos and send tomorrow

Yes mate sorry still available PM me and I’ll send some pics . Been away with work

Yep….should also have a voltage sensitive switch - mines behind the dash https://www.lrukforums.com/attachments/rear-window-jpg.39644/

Rear window heats up using the on/off switch. I ‘think’ there’s a temperature sensitive switch behind the dash. Will double check. Rich

The previous MOT also made me wary - clean and tidy inside (less headlining) would be a good project….

Nah just said it’s too much work to sort at the mo.

So had a look, leaky sunroofs, Rev counter sometimes works, 2 x warning lights and some corrosion (see MOT Checker). Tidy overall for a 2004 but would prefer an Auto box. Still on Gum Tree (Tidworth) if interested Rich
