You finally got it grafty on the name

No worries grafty with the lift

i have sorted out the whistle coming from the near side door with no added expense :whistle

Well that is a proper bearing failure

Glad you can get it sorted out easier now you got the lift to help you

Got my defender up and running today with a new stub axle and bearings. Also converted to the twin nut Tdi style from single nut Td5.

As we are now coming into holiday season I didn't manage to get over 35mph on my usual 6 mile test route (all derestricted roads

) but all seems well

Another thank you to Clayton for giving me a ride home and I have found a picture I took on the way home

I have been on call at work today so haven't been able to go far. So as I have 8 hours to kill I decided to have a play around with my gearbox and transfer box knobs.

So I went for a heritage look and copied justFX's idea of colouring in the markings on top.

I chose silver which I think works well

I might re do the transfer box but for now I'm happy.... 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

What coloured rings did you use on the gear knobs ?
They look good
