  1. I found it rather hard to take the gearbox out, i took seats n seatbox out all floors, props off, was hard lifting the gearbox back in, would of been better if id of had 2 long scaffold batterns and tressels then the gearbox could of sat on the batterns while changed the rear seal.. i found it easier to change clutch wen engine was out but id removed radiator and intercooler.. swings and roundabouts should be able to do it in a day if you put ur mind to it, also get a good socket set as said above, also a little breaker bar would come in handy

    Also i reccomend borg and beck / Ap

  2. Hey,

    Sorry if this has come up before, I am about to do a long distance drive through france and my MTs are noisy and will wear to nothing.

    I have a Range Rover Classic with a outstanding set of ATs on the classic 3 spoke alloys. My defender is a 1988 110 with standard front hubs and TD5 rear hubs.

    I have heard mixed things about whether they will fit, will they? (they are 200miles from me at the moment) Any other reason I shouldn't fit them?

    Cheers,

    Adam

    Have them fitted to your rims?

  3. think i saw one on ebay the other day might of been a 90 chassis but was going for £1200

    Just had a quick look but found a td5 rolling chassis ex mod they want £1350

    But if you add all the parts that there worth seperate would that give you a rough price you want?

  4. had a listen to me mates shogun with a 3 inch straight through pipe and blimey it gave me a headache when he reved it :( guess i was just unlucky, thought on the slip he gave me it put replace silencer, and take it for mot, so if i put a backbox on it should be fine, as its got a box on,, we shall see, i dont really want to get another middle box as i just bought the straight through pipe from steve parker, and my rear pipe needs replacing as it looks a tad rotten,

  5. erm, i removed the backbox a few weeks after my mot, which was last march, then last november i got a straight through middle pipe, as my middle box was gettin past its sell by date, but soon as i fitted it i didnt really like it just put up with it, think im just going to get a replacment pipe which includes the backbox, and hopefully it should be ok, rest of the exhaust is new. with a straight through it does give it a nice roar, but its a landrover not a ferrari so its not really needed is it..

  6. It must be fairly noisy to have caught his attention though?

    Its not as loud as some of my mates cars, just when you set off, he followed me for ages, and said the only time it was really noisey was when i pulled out of a junction, and jason my wipers broke the other week just havent had time to fix them and i am not bothered them looking round it, read my original post, will a backbox make it queit enough?
