Yes it’s abs, I managed to turn one of the fittings on the abs unit a little bit.
But there was no signs of leakage around the fittings.
Going to bleed all brakes tomorrow and see how long it last ... |

I checked everything I can reach, no signs of leaking on the pipes, unions or hoses.
I will bleed again and hope it lasts a while.
I am surprised air is getting in but I can’t see any fluid leaks ... |

Yeah I’m getting air bubbles on the front brakes every time I bleed them.
The back brakes no bubbles.
Thanks for replies so far,

Hi guys
Bled my brakes a few times now and got them working great.
Defender sits in the garage a week and they need bleeding again. Pedal goes straight to the floor.
No fluid leaking, but obvious ... |

I installed the spacers under the gear shifter, didn’t help too much.
I plan to replace my clutch soon, hopefully it will solve the gear changing issues.
Currently I have to double clutch sometime ... |

Hi, in my case it was both, some were clinch nuts and some normal nuts.
Once I got them off I replaced them all with clinch nuts.
It wasn’t so easy to remove them as they were old and rusty

Hello
So I just finished installing Super Pro bushes to the Panhard Rod and Radius Arms.
The Death Wobble has gone. Honestly, it's never driven so well since I bought it.
Great result all round ... |

So, I had my wheels balanced, they were all out of balance so definitely worth doing.
Unfortunately, it didn't solve the death wobble.
For now, I have removed the spacers on the front until I get ... |

Thanks all
I’ll start with the wheel balance and work in from there.
My swivels are pitted and leaking so expect they are worn and contributing to the issue.
Just added a few more things to m ... |

Hi All

Before installation I had a slight wheel tremor at around 80 Kmh.
Now after fitting the spacers it’s progressed to full on death wobble betwee ... |

I have the same noise, I also thought it was a stone in the tire but then I heard it while stationary.
Its definitely more obvious while driving though but doesn't seem to align with engine revs.
