Ok so the axles I have came with original land rover shockers , they appear in decent condition, I may fit these and see what they are like . Easy job to change at a later date if need be

Ok point taken...what would you recommend , I mainly will be using it for road work and towing?

Well I made a start on thid saturday, Looks like I was send 3 front and one rear shocker....... I have never realised that all 4 defender springs are different, with different part numbers

Yes I will fit them and see what they are like and do what's necessary. My original rear axle has rusted badly and leaks oil. This was the main reason for swapping them. I have the puma panhard rod and complete power steering pump and mounting bracket.

Hi Litch The front axle has its radius arms still bolted on .....do I use these or my original arms. No ABS on it , so thats fine Think the calipers are single line Will fit the rear one this weekend

my 1987 90 is ready for a rebuild, I worked out the cost of doing my axles and figured it might be quicker to just fit some late axles off a 13 plate puma 65000 miles . the Breakers yard have assured me they will fit no problem🤣 any advice welcome

got most of the parts off ebay and face book, so will do this shortly ....seems 200tdi parts are getting thin on the ground looking at some of the prices

I fitted a new galv 90 chassis to mine 15 years ago, I used 2 gallon of wax oil inside and out, and although still solid , the chassis has gone quite white and sort of furry. But where I didnt wax oil it ,ie rear crossmember, it still looks clean and just duller than when new. It Appears that maybe there is some sort of reaction to the wax oil, although this seems unlikley, anyone else notice this ?

Ah that makes sense, ill have a look in that section. No doubt they are like rocking horse ..... Thanks

Hi Fittingc a 200 tdi defender turbo to my 1988 90 , its got a discovery 200 tdi engine convertion, and want to fit the correct defender turbo. I have the turbo and exhaust and inlet manifold , but it looks like I need to move the altenator and power steering pump some ??. Has any one got image of the correct brackets etc I need to look for. Thanks Nick
