Do you still have the mid pipe do you know if it will fit a 200tdi? Cheers J

Thanks for the help guys I appreciate it. I will definately get my self a dti tool, interested to learn a bit more about diffs. In the mean time though I have desided to set up with a regular 24 spline diff. Probably not a bad thing not having a 10 spline locker up front anyways. Will maybe...

Sorry James I'm lost, what I wanted to know can I use my rear arb diff on front. At first I planned to simply swap complete diff housing fand do nothing internal. Then it came to my attention that this is a bad idea as it will adversely wear crown and pinion (as its bedded in as a rear. However...

Hi Jai, Paul D reccomended I contact you regards rebuilding a diff. I have a suspect front pinion bearing failing, and I have two possible soloutions to replace the complete diff unit. I have currently a 10 spline diff that I can replace with a good used front 24 spline and HS's. But what I also...

forgot to mention the reason I want to use the 10 spline rear is it has an arb locking diff centre. Without mentioning that it may seam a little strange!

Hi James, Paul D reccomended I contact you regards rebuilding a diff. You gave me the lead the other day about my front pinion bearing failing, well I have two possible soloutions to replace the diff. I have currently a 10 spline diff that I can replace with a good 24 spline and HS's. But what I...

Hi Paul, I will pm Jai and James M as well but if I understand you correctly. You think it should be ok to dissasemble my rear arb diff remove the pinion and crown gears and swap them to the orriginal front crown and pinion gears, then if I reassemble as it was it should be ok, to then use on...

Hi Paul, so presumably there is no ill affect on the arb centre which ever way it spins. So for the time being I can mount the rear 10 spline diff complete and when the wear is apparent I can swap the 10 spline diff centre into a good front diff? On a side note could I use a 24 spline diff...

Hi Guys I require to replace my front diff. I do have a used spare front diff so not a huge issue, however I also have the opportunity to use a used arb locker that was used on the rear. Is it stupid to use this on the front? I allready have a rear locker so no need for it there. I know it will...

Well removed front prop, locked CD and have been driving around all day in 2wd. Sound gone so hopefull its the front diff. Will swap diffs on friday to see, will be a bonus if this is the soloution as I only swapped the gearbox/transfer (to another used one) 6 months ago so a bit anoying to have...

Thanks JM sounds like a possibility, I will pop of prop today and check out. That would be a reletively nice soloution as I planned to rebuild axles anyway. Saves getting the gb+transfer down again!

Hi Guys, wondering what people think. I've had a sound coming from the drive train for some months that has slowely been worsening it occurs when I back of the gas particularly when I've been driving at high speed. The sound is like a vibration/rattle/zzzzes sound like a loose bearing or worn...

TBH I have replaced all components in my disco steering and suspension and run 30.5 tyres and have 2" lift and mine still feals very vague, every part I replaced improved matters but its still vague compared to my standard unmodified disco with orriginal parts from new and 65k on clock. I'm...

Do you still have the tyres, can come collect with cash at weekend. Cheers Jim

Hi Guys, does anyone know what the lever does on the side of the lift pump on my 200tdi? Also what position should the lever be in? Cheers Jim
