The swivel that has been replaced is probably teflon coated, hence the darker colour, not sure if you can still get new chrome ones.
How very odd that you have two different types of CV joint, one non ABS and one with the ABS ring on it?
Couldn't see on them but do you have filler, level and drain plugs on your swivel housings?
I know that later 300Tdis ran one shot swivel grease as std, where as earlier swivels ran EP90 straight, a great number of people moved over to the one shot grease and negated the EP90 to stem the swivel leaks but ended up with probles with the top swivel bearings seizing and giving steering issues.
What caster correction have you on the Adrenalin front arms?

How much were the disc pads and calipers mate
Nice project bud, good work
Wonder if a 6BT can fit in a disco 1
The 4BD1 is a 3.9 L direct injection diesel sold in Isuzu ELF trucks as well as marine and industrial applications from 1979. Power output varied. 1979 models had 64 kW (87 SAE HP) at 3,200rpm, 1988 models had 78 kW (106 SAE HP) at 3,200rpm. Peak torque is 263 Nm at 1,900 rpm for the 1988 model. Bore is 102mm, stroke is 118mm. OEM diesel in Australian specification Land Rover SIII Stage 1 and coil sprung 110, 120, and Land Rover Perentie models from 1981 to 1989. In Batangas, Philippines, it has been used in jeepneys as the "Barako".
The 4BD1T is a turbocharged version of the 3.9 L 4BD1, it was produced from 1985 and was fitted to Isuzu NPR trucks from 1986 and sold in the US. OEM diesel in Australian specifications Land Rover Perentie 6X6 models from 1989 to 1992. Different versions feature power ratings ranging from 90 to 100 kW (120-135 PS), peak torque ranges from 314 to 330 Nm at 1,800 rpm, also use in jeepneys built in Batangas.
Not sure but it would be a very tight fit!!!
I did like the ISUZU 4BD1T conversion I saw once.
Copy and paste from Wikipedia
Found it interesting that it was a standard fitment in Australia for the 6X6 Parentie so it must be a good engine if fitted for military purposes and have enough grunt for a 6X6 Land Rover.
Thanks mate, not quite to the standard of your workmanship but having fun doing it all! Wonder if a 6BT can fit in a disco 1
Your work is just fine mine isn't all that.
6bt.... hmm anything can fit if you want it enough
Although in all seriousness no one has done it yet, a few have been talked about doing it in a d2 but nothing has ever happened.
Thanks for the kind words Followed all your threads, unbelievable amount of time and effort gone into them fella. You really do have the skills to pay the bills
Seen the pics of your engine and it really is shoe-horned in there int it?! The 4bd1t dieseldog69 posted about looks quite interesting. Maybe something to look at in a year or twos time for me, need to get it all back together and just enjoy what i've got for the time being i reckon haha.
Cheers Unfortunately I don't have the work to pay the bills (as you probably know )
Yes, shoe-horned in, although it does fit in the space rather well, it's the weight more than anything, nothing hd spring wont sort though.
I want exactly the same now, just to enjoy what I have, or when it's finished at least.
Not read the link posted by dieseldog69, but I've heard about it in the past and seems a decent conversion.
Really do hope you manage to sort the job situation out soon mate. New year coming up and all that, fingers crossed for a new job as well
What's left to get it through it's MOT now then?
