Thanks for the video, I’d recommend heavy duty axle stands when you’re doing a job like that. Belt and braces as it’s not worth the risk to your safety. Me and the mate often work on our Landys and I’m always getting told off by him to be safer and safer (which I’m now learning lol) If you had jacked up the rear axle one side at a time you could take the wheel off and allow more access to see what’s going on. Lots of fiddly wee jobs but well done getting it done !

I don't think there is any issue doing it without jacking the chassis, so long as you only do one side at a time.

Thanks for video - Quick question..if you keep your diesel tank full..how long can you drive without that plastic thing you modified?
@TD5PRESERVATION-14282 ай бұрын
Hi thanks for your comment. The plastic thing is just an air bleed valve. As far as I can make out it is supposed to help vent air from the filter / fuel system. I think if you keep your tank at a good level you should not have any problems . Having said that I think it would be better to keep fuel system as standard as possible but in emergency remove that piece of plastic. Thank you

I’ve done 150,000 miles in 12 years in my 2003 td5 double cab and changed this little filter several times due to the same issue. How can such a small piece of plastic cause so many sleepless nights!!!!!! I keep one as a spare just incase

You know you're using that ball joint splitter the wrong way round don't you? The end is meant to be against the ball joints threaded end and the fork goes between the ball joint gaitor and the steering arm! As you tighten the bolt the splitter pushes the tapper out, as has been said, you don't need a splitter anyway , a quick bang with a hammer on the end of the steering arm will shock the taper out of its seat. It's also worth mentioning that your drag link (yes it's the drag link) is none standard (prob heavy duty) , a gen land rover one uses a small clamp and not a lock nut.

Hi had no idea I was using it the wrong way . I suppose if it hadn't of done the job I would have looked at it a bit more closely . Thank you
@graham-martin58474 ай бұрын
all you had to do was hit the end of the hub arm with a mash hammer or dead blow instead of messing about they pop straight out i do em all the time.your swivel seal looks like it needs doing too .never put one of these ends in dry allways use anti seize or copperslip for next time make your life much easier

Great video. Question.....what were your symptoms that led you to replace the radial arms? And more importantly, how was the result? Thank you.
@TD5PRESERVATION-14284 ай бұрын
Hi I didn't have any symptoms regarding the radius arms . I just noticed when changing the springs that the bushes seemed a bit worn. The results I can't say I noticed anything specific but with all of the worn parts that I am slowly replacing I think my defender is defeniatly running and driving better. And I must say The best result is the satisfaction of doing the work my self. and I can honestly say if I can do it anybody can . Have Fun Thank you.

@@TD5PRESERVATION-1428 Perfect. I doing the same to a softdash Range Rover Classic....slowly restoring bits here and there. I trying to tackle things as they come up or when there is a clear risk/reward. I just replaced the shocks and air ride shocks, next are the sway bar bushings. I might just inspect the radius bushings and leave them as is for a while.

remove the cover that is under bonnet, with in that there is the rod with 3 nut on one of the nuts is a locking nut loosen this then adjust accoringly . I had to modify a spanner to do this ,.

Be aware copper grease is abrasive, should use ceramic grease / antifret paste etc. Copper grease has not really had a valid application on a car since the 80's.Best place for it is the bin! Great video!
