Indy changed motor and while at it changed the rack as showing signs of wear. Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to us off. Richard

Well 🥁 Seized wheel box!! Absolutely seized solid. The fact that the left hand wheel box was seized means getting the whole thing out becomes a real dismantling job on the dashboard. Basically I had to remove the whole top, middle, centre panel and instrument binnacle. Now to test if the seized gear has blown the motor. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV 1966 S2a 109 aka Betsy 1968 S2a 88 aka Bob 2014 Jaaaag F Type 3.0 Supercharged.

In my LDH 110 I was able to change both wheel boxes with only removing the top dash pad. Took about and hour and half. Its fiddley but doable. Done it few times on different Defenders. Not sure how different a RHD would be? I see you can easily access the left side wheel box. 👍🏻 2010 Range Rover MkIII Autobiography Super Charged (Idris) 2003 Range Rover Mk III (Desmond FitzWilliam) 2000 Defender 110 CSW TD5 (CTX) 1992 Range Rover Classic (Lizzy) 1972 Series III 300 Tdi (Stanwood) 1967 MGB GT Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.

My local dealer charges 135ish per hour plus VAT . 16 hours labour, may as well wait 5 years and buy a second hand New Defender . Did mine a couple of years back, still have the left over screws ready for next time

Finished the job last night. Took me about 5 hours all in. I could have got away with just changing the left wheel box, but decided to swap it all (except motor) as the right wheel box was stiff. Also put a new rack cable in as that was worn where it had been running on the gears. I reckon the dash has been apart before, as I found a few holes and clips with missing screws and has to raid my supply of spares to finish the job. Also had to hunt out the radio code! 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV 1966 S2a 109 aka Betsy 1968 S2a 88 aka Bob 2014 Jaaaag F Type 3.0 Supercharged.
