Nah, just a little bit that is stored in the lines. You might have to prime it and bleed it though. Or you might be lucky and it'll start anyway.

Thanks - at last an easy, (but fiddly) job!!

It took me a few attempts and some Facebook advice to get it the first time.

The front suspension on 48-749 had stared to knock when changing direction. After some searching here I decided to check shock mounts, radius arm bushes and panhard arm bushes.
All the rubber bits were in good shape but a couple of the bolts were less than fully tight.
After tightening them all with a long (600mm) power bar the knock has disappeared.

Also decided to change all the hub drive flanges. The backlash was not bad but now that I have changed them there is none at all. Very pleased.
I could only get standard ones not HD as the HD Defender ones don't fit.
All in all a pleasing Sunday's work!!!

Couldn't get HD flanges for a 110?

Did you try Hi-Tough (formerly MaxiDrive), the 110/County/Perentie have a spline length 5mm longer than the splines on the Defender 300Tdi.

The Hi Tough Engineering part number for the Perentie drive flanges is HTE-5806 and is a direct replacement for the OEM part.

(The late Defender flanges are HTE-589 or if you have the corresponding X HTE axles which have 10mm longer spline use the HTE-589X flanges)

Thanks Lotsa,

I didn't try them directly but was told by two suppliers "no stock-3 months backorder"
I'll contact them directly out of interest.

I think you will find that MR Automotive/Les Richmond etc, use Hi-Tough axles and drive flanges. MR have the licence for Maxi-Drive diffs and other MD products but not the axles/flanges

From my emails to them I was under the impression that they did the axles and flanges as well, even in a kit with the diff lock.

But as you say, they may be Hi-Tuff. Interestingly the prices between the two were different.

It would be a sad day indeed if Mal Story were to sell the axle/flange part of the Maxi-Drive business to Barry Ward (HTE) and turn around a couple of years later and sell the same part of the M-D business to MR Automotive.
