Grease nipples
« on: May 15, 2012, 01:00:33 PM »
Does anyone know, how many grease nipples are on a 1993 Defender 90. And where they are...

I have had mine a couple of weeks, was under it last night, and noticed a some, so I suppose I should get a grease gun and get greasing... 8)

OK there must be more , as I see some on track rodends, I know that if and when I replace these, they will likely be without grease nipples....
