You can keep the hub on to replace them then? saves replacing those nuts that you deform to grip.
Where would people buy the bearings?
Paddocks? £1.75 + vat
some very expensive ones on ebay ... £15 + postage for one!

Have you found the source of yours yet?
Mine has evolved and seems just as you describe now. A groaning, whoo-whoo, noise from the right side on left turns. Its more and more frequent so I'm thinking its something heading for a failure?
I presume it wouldn't be dependant on a left turns if it was the wheel bearing.

lol @ the cat
was it you who had that picture - 'what has been seen cannot be unseen' ?

Back in the day when they had no suspension and giant steering wheels?

"STOP!! one of my nuts fell off around there!"

Check traps twice a day if possible a) for humane reasonsAnything caught gets chucked in with the ferrets.
Is there some contradictions in here ???

So did you guys all do the same lanes as each other? or did each group do a different set of lanes?

My Mum has a mouse problem and they've had a guy come to get them out - he's said the biro thing too.
He said they are probably coming in through the holes in the air bricks, which are about that size

An old lady used to live a few doors down from me - she made 1 journey a day in her car. It was less than a mile to the village shop for her paper and milk.
She had mice nesting in her front springs - and they just used to go on the very sedate journey with her once a day
That went on for years - only problem was when they chewed through the indicator wiring.

One thing I've noticed round where I am is how people seem more prepared to sit behind me on a country lane.
If I'm in the car some people are always right up the back side trying to intimidate me into going faster - probably thinking "stupid slow driver"
In the Landy they seem more content to wait until they can overtake - I think the blame the slowness on the vehicule not the driver, just like they would with a Tractor.
I like that
no pressure on the ride to work anymore -

What's the smallest serviceable aerial for a cb?
-
Could be your tyre rubbing on the radius arm.
Easily prevented by adjusting the stop nut preventing the steering going too far.

Thanks for the reply John
I don't think its this though as it'd do it every time it was on full lock.
I think the noise is developing though now - I'm hearing it a bit more. When its not so cold out, I'll have a look around and check the bearings mentioned above - though it doesn't sound like a bearing noise. Its a kind of groany moany noise.
-
One benefit over CB is that the aerials are a lot smaller - a 1/4 wave whip is only a bit over a foot long
That's what's putting me off getting a cb at the moment - I don't really want a whacking great aerial. I like the fact that some ramblers take my Landy to be a farmer - and I'm trying to keep it that way.
The ultimate stealth off roader would be a 90 pick up, with an Ifor Williams top, a guy in overalls, a dog and bale in the back...

I have the same issue. My wife is 5'2" and can't really get in without the step.

We tracked them on or Garmin GPS. I haven't loaded them to the computer yet,and have no idea how I could share them with you. I'll read the manual and get around to it unless someone else can help you sooner!
Would you share that with me too please?
I'd love to trace your steps sometime!
-
You should post a pic up of it from further back Mark.... its hard to see where it is from that pic.
-
This is the one I'm thinking of:
-
There's a chap on here recording his build up of something similar.
I can't find it at the moment - but iirc its on a defender chassis, with defender modified wings. Its a nut and bolt rebuild.
Have a search.
-
I'm interested in this too. I'm a Landrover novice and mine has just started making a noise first thing in the morning on full left lock to pull out of my parking space. After that it won't do it for the rest of the day...?
-
Which boundaries were pushed here?
-
that's funny
I like how it comes up with the steps before it gives you the result
-
Brilliant pics, brilliant write ups! fantastic.
Nice video's turbocharger!
I'd love to drive those lanes - anyone fancy doing it all again?
-
Thanks for the interest guys!
I think there are more than a few ways to do this - but I think this is the simplest.
A camera phone that runs with the Symbian S60 operating system - you can then download Sportstracker (which is what I've used here) for free. You install it on your phone and create an online account.
If your phone has built in GPS the software will use that to record the route, if not you can get a bluetooth GPS 'dongle' thing - which is about £40 and actually is more powerful.
Then take your pics or movies with the phone camera as you go along and it'll time stamp them so they can be picked up in the 'sportstracker' recording.
Its all very easy to use. It was designed for running and cycling and hiking - but lends itself particularly well to green laning.
I have an N95 8GB phone. It has a 5 or 6 mega-pixel camera - but more importantly has an excellent lense. It takes better pics than these show - although in fairness its always hard to take good pics from a bouncing defender!
If you get one of these there is another great piece of mapping gps software called viewranger that I'd recommend.
If anyone was interested in getting a set up like mine I'm very happy to help in anyway I can.
Here are a couple more pics:
Few more pics!
I also use Garmin on it too as a road based GPS - I'm getting my money's worth out of it!

That's a good pic - where does the control cable fit to on there?
