hi ive got a rust bucket 5door disco that need scraping but bought a 3 door with few little body issues but chassis is perfect, but were the 3 door has sat for year or so the axles and brakes etc look abit rusty (surface) but i no my 5 door axles, brakes etc are fine and would rather put them on and no its all sweet, but is it a huge job to do this or not to bad as cant find any help anywhere, thank for any help
 
axles will swap straight over the only differences come between 200 tdi and 300 tdi ,300 having 3 bolt diff flange which you can either swap flange with spacer or swap props ,the other difference may be caliper bolts ,bihex headed ones are metric hexagonal ones imperial ,imperial holes are slightly smaller so metric bolts wont go through unless holes drilled out ,imperial bolts can go through metric holes but cant be done as holes are too big caliper bolts and holes need to be a good fit ,remove mudsheilds in either case they are more of a problem than cure
 
thanks there both 300tdi, but brakes etc are staying on the axles i was thinking of disconecting the whole lot and swaping if possible. so if i can will it just be brake lines, trailings arms, suspention to disconnect ?
 
just disonnect flexi brake pipe A frame ,traing arms ,roll bar chassis brackets,ans shockers if spring retaining straps look difficult to remove ,lever strap up a little and rotate spring (unscrew from strap )
 
Thank you, ill try defo as seem such a shame to scrap the good bits on my 5 door as can make 1 good disco outa the 2, plus were lifting it so replacing brake lines anyways
 
ive got a pal on here who is after a rear casing i would have had the lot as theyre handy for spares. he might be able to arrange courier
 
up 2 u mate, the backs off and the front will be in a week, as gota remove the engine before i can remoove the front axle, but ur welcome to them as im scrapping them anyways and would rather them go to good use, maybe get a courier as im not charging you for them
