    A bottle of gas, or the red spanner as it is sometimes called. It makes life so much easier.
    When the bottle runs out, buy Map gas in the yellow bottles, it burns at a higher temperature so is quicker and hotter.

    Only using Poly shock bushes now as all the rubber even the Genuine don't seem to last. I remove the cups on the later design rear axles to allow better movement, and use the earlier non concave bushes.
    Just less stress on the shock to introduce failures.

    Alternatively, you could get rid of the anti roll bar altogether.
    Right, i'm off to check the washer orientation on my shocks.

    Another great video - interesting, my 110 Wolf has the cups on the axles, front & rear. Up front, due to unavailability of new shocks it gives limited scope for replacement. Ended up swapping the “Wolf” turrets for standard together with Koni adjustable shocks. Cheers ! 😁

    Are you planning on getting a professional underbody protection? Or are you going to leave such a mint chassis on show?

    Shocks break at the top due to the "cups" on the bottom. Earlier tdi defender never had them only td5s and rest of world spec tdis. Better chisel them off
