That was a good idea... I hadn't thought about taking a rear half-shaft out and have a look. Thaks man !

thanks James Martin..., I'll take your expert advice and order parts for 24 spline... Thanks again

Thanks James, I need to know if the axle has a 10 spline or 24 spline diff. That is the reason I need the axle number.

hi folk, on the work manual it mentionas that the axle identification number is on the top left of the axle tube. Can anybody be more specific to as where is it stamped? I've cleaned out most the axle and I still cant find the number. Is it placed near to the wheel or near to the diff ? Any help...

hi Munster, In my 300tdi, the heated rear glass in the boot area is on the opposite side to the driver. I've got a left hand drive, and that glass on the opposite side gives me a clear view from the drivers seat; I don't need the driver's side heated 'cause I can't look out trought it..... !!!

Turbo and wastegate checked and everything normal an OK. Took it to Diesel mechanic and they say they found the shaft under the diaphragm broken !!!! sounds realy funny...

hi Sible88, the high pitch whine has been there for years !!! It wasn't very loud, so when you put your foot down on the throtle, you coul hear the booster reving up high and feel the engine power increase. That sound has gone. I took off the tube from rad to inlet manifold and covered it with...

Hi, story as goes: yesterday night driving at just over 50mph, slight descent and only tuching the gas pedal. Sudenly engine noise changes and I notice slight vibration. After that, there is no power in the engine. I don't hear the turbo kicking in at the usual 1500 revs , I dont have the...

I cleaned out the engine bay, 'cause I had a broken PAS pump pressure tube and every thing got mucked up with hidraulic fluid..... Nice and clean to work again...

you mean to say there is no replacement for the inertia switch and you have to change the complete bloody alarme ECU ?? :confused: That's a lot of money on its way.... I think I'll use the "switch off and on" system :D

hi again, that's not right. If you tap a +12 lead to the white+pink cable on the console switch, this does not bypass the safety button. You only bypass the timer on the window control box. The safety button actuates on the earth cable, not on the liva cable. I have it done like this on my car

hi IanFi, I can't tell you where the controll box sits on your truck ( I have a LHD Disco 1). I had the same problem with the rear windos, and I coud not get to the window controll box. I took a contact switched +12 lead and joined it to the "white with a pink band" cable on any of the rear...

thanks guys.... lots of ideas !!! I think I'm going to try Greenhornet's idea first, with two sockets an a big G clamp. If thats no good or they are rightly stuck, I'll get on to the chisel idea....:D thank for all the ideas :doh:

hi there, After searching and reading Busterbus’s “how-to do” , I’m planning to change all the bushes on my 1998 Disco 1. I’ve got myself a complete kit by Polibush for Panhard rod, radius arms and rear link rods. Only problem I can foresee once I get down to tackle the job, is how to remove...

Wich would be a recomendable web place to get ones spare parts for LR ? So far as I can see, Paddock's is not as bad as that, but if we take into consideration price / service.... where else can we find a better option ? :rolleyes:
