I did mean to add , my 90 is a disco 200 Tdi conversion and I fitted a cheaper one from bolt on bits with a switch in the top hose ,although in the past 11 + years I’ve never had it come on I did check it now and again at service time and it still spins up a treat . 

The same here

[Exhaust Ventilation/Extraction]

Wen I worked at Sunblest years   Our workshop was for three diesel vans. Thetr was a proper under floor extraction setup with a thick heavy rubber pipe for each bay. However there was also roof fands which also extracted the fumes and much easier to use. Those roof fans came into their own on a very hot day. We would water the parking bay outside open the doos and switch the fans on for a cool workshop

Next time you go to a Land Rover dealership to buy spares. Look at the country it's made in. Not many made in the UK

That's all right then. If the defender departs, you know what you must do.

What worries me is the Defender could depart second

All the more reason.

Which would you prefer to arrive at the pearly gates in? A Toyota Yaris, or an Ineos defender?

That is, if you can't cope with a series.

Well you see I have a carbon neutral Defender but if I had to change it would be the Ineos

Thanks for all the replies - it is a very late 1993 with disc brakes, so part number FTC3375. Which is M12x35x1.25 - so i need to source an M12 x1.25 tap.

Any good tool shop should be able to sell you one

Yes, heavy, but an option. I got used to the restriction in vision, but i was running a series with 205 r 16 tyres.

Exposure to UV needs to be considered, so a cover helps.

A "swing away" carrier on the rear door makes sense.

So is lifting it on to a rear door carrier. There is an easy way for that tho. I have a race yacht block and tackle to lift mine up there Oh yes I carry one on the bonnet as well. If you do use a bonnet mount, Mount the spare with the nave to the bonnet, useful space there

mmgemini ,checked mounting nuts ,every thing looks o.k. 

 thanks, Jethro .

Did you check for very fine almost un noticable cracks in the servo around those mountings . You may need a very bright light

 to see them

 

[Caliper bolts holding up C-19 rebuild]

Good advice there. Now when replacing the calliper bolts. Get a tap and re tap the mounting holes. Make sure when using new bolts that there is some thread lock on the threads

 

[def. "95 brakes]

also check the servo mounting nuts.Where the servo bolts to the master cylinder.  The 110 servo is known for splitting there

Well i slackened off the grease nipple, moved the ball joint around and the result is still the same sadly!?!....

I fear HoSS could well be right in that the spring pressure combined with the upper and lower cups makes for a good seal and therefore renders this a futile exercise!?!....

The theory was good but the actual practicality would appear not so? Yet i can't help feeling this should be achievable in some way???

I don't think having more grease on there is a waste of time

@mmgemini why would it make a difference if the grease nipple is screwed in to far, surely it makes no never mind if it's two thirds in or all the way in??? Can you explain your reasoning please as i is a bit dim at times and it's not protruding through the other side to foul on anything, virtually flush as i recall?

Cheers Andy 

I was wondering if the grease nipply was sitting tight on the ball and  A stopping the grease getting right through  B tending to sit on the ball

 and tighten the ball. Just back the grease nipple off a turn and see what happens

[So will this idea WORK???]

Your idea is sound,however it looks to me that the grease nipple is too far through the base plate, Put a washer under the grease nipple head and see what happens   HTH
