    Defender rear clunk- going after it

    I had the clunk on my old 110 and it turned out the A-frame ball joint was so worn it was almost able to pop out of the socket. Replacing it completely eliminated the clunk.

    Aging galvanizing

    Anyone know if it’s possible to age new galvanizing somehow? I had to buy one piece of new corner trim but all of the rest of the galvanizing is already aged and I would like it to match.

    Brake issues

    Soooo, had a suggestion to check the adjustment on the rear brake shoes. It has been almost a year since I did the rear part of the system (busy life and all that) so I had erroneously remembered having adjusted them. Turns out they were still all the way out.. :oops: Adjusted them properly...

    Fabric dye for seats

    SEM Color Coat works on carpet so I'm sure it would work on fabric seats. I've used SEM products a lot and am very pleased with the results.

    That God Awful Defender Clunk

    This. Had the clunk on my 110 years ago and the ball joint was so worn it looked like it might pop out of the socket. A new one made it go away completely. Worn drive members/axle splines will make a similar noise.

    300 TDI rear main seal question

    should I or shouldn't I? Resurrecting this thread since I have another 300Tdi sitting on the garage floor about to be installed. The previous owner of the engine says the rear seal wasn't leaking. My better judgement says to replace it anyway since it is easy to access right now, but at the...
