Can I have some info on that please? Have the same issue. Put your foot down @ 40 in 5th and it buzzes, end up keeping my hand on the stick all the time to stop it... Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

We filled it to the gunnels with load of cycling stuff and then off to the local cycle jumble sale. Made over Ł320 for charity
Once home (and after an absolutely smashing bacon and egg sandwich) decided to replace the rocker cover gasket that had been weeping for while and coating everything below. Amazing how far a tiny bit of oil goes... Also made sure the VGT turbo actuator was nicely free after feeling that it had been taking a bit of time to spool up recently. Seemed to do the trick on a quick test run. Then washed it. And polished it. And then went round with the ACF-50. Looking great and doesn't look like it's 10 years old with over 244,000 miles under its wheels. I'm absolutely bushed and nursing a nice Old Speckled Hen to recover.

Spent today fitting a brand new Adwest steering box as the old one was leaking and had slack in it (with no more adjustment to take it up). Brand new PAS pipes while I was at it too. Also converted to a Disco drop arm and a Gwyn Lewis sumo bar drag link. Busy day but lovely in the sun!
Even had the first BBQ of 2014! |

Did an oil change on snotty, greased the UJ's and Props and also replaced an wheel bearing as old one was knackered with an half an inch play in the hub! No more grinding feel on the brake pedal now!

Long overdue but upgraded security with a decent tracker fit. National company let me down initially using weather as an excuse and I was going to contact the manufactrurers to see if they would let me fit myself. Came good in the end with a late afternoon phonecall stating they'd be there in 5 minutes.
If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!! Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

Ran the SVX thru the car wash, thereafter at home vacuumed and towel dried it, let it further dry out with all doors and bonnet open, put tire gloss, WD-40 into the towing sockets, etc.
And then the Mrs. called me for lunch.... with the SVX in the background... Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

Filled tank up with Esso Supreme, put back dried out carpets (after driving through flooded area) & have ordered noise absorbing mats from Simmonites.

I'm pretty sure miles came before kilometres... So it is you being awkward Multiples of 3, 12 and 14 are clearly just easier than 10s Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |
