Ok well we did ours and basically after a short test drive we found it was grinding. So we have re-adjusted and are pretty much back to where we were so the only conclusion we can reach is that it had already been done.
However it's another bit of Defender we have explored and understand s little more about. 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic 2010 90 SMC Over Land Nero Edition - Santorini Black Metallic (Now Departed) |

However it's another bit of Defender we have explored and understand s little more about. This is of course the 'Royal' we, where Mrs Pilgrim sat inside, surfing & watching Jim Bond, while i was the one laid flat out on a dirty, wet drive doing the spanner monkeying. She did however have to take it off the drive and on again until it had stopped rubbing. 
I tell you what, the thing about Land Rovers turning drivers into mechanics is all too true. Luckily, my Neighbour (TVR Griff owner) had a 19 mm socket which sped things up. I have the funny feeling that my toolkit is going to blossom in the coming months - is it worth buying shares in Snap-On?  |

I'm sure you will buying tools for a good few years to come.
At least it gets you out in the cold and damp weather.  |

I have done this today & it's made a big difference.
Thanks for the Info on how to do this
Although on mine I have had to have different gaps on each side!? Maybe mines not one of the straight ones |

You can do, or keep an eye out on Halfords as there professional range of tools is very good and often you can get a whole tool kit with 85% of all the sockets and spanners you will need for a defender on a discount deal.
