Brilliant, will do! Thanks for the reply.:D

Hi there Picked up my V8 Disco 2 last night :D:D Just come across this thread and was wondering how far this lowers the rear down? I have a rather large and Lazy malamute who can hardly be bothered to get up off the floor let alone jump in the back! If the back comes down a bit...

I'd go with the brushes. As you have a separate solenoid the tap on the starter will only affect the brushes contact on the armature face. From memory, and its a long while ago, the old inertia starters have four small screws holding the back plate on. Pop it off..... If they are dirty just...

Hiya all I am going to take the hubs to work to clean up and inspect to see how bad they are. I know that there are springs there that have completely rotted away so its a case of how serviceable they will be. Not getting much time to play lately with work commitments hence the time...

Morning all, Its taken a few weeks but finally got to play last night! Removed the FWH's and replaced with standard hubs. Jacked up one front wheel..... in 2wd the wheel spins freely, and in 4 wd....... it turns a quarter of a turn then locks! :clap2::clap2::clap2: I am therefore...

No, whipping them off and going back to standard for now at least.

Hi, sorry for the late response but not been about for a few days. These are AVM hubs, but don't look anything like the ones available today so guessing they are quite old! The spring mechanism has corroded quite badly on the one side and I cannot seem to find any replacements for...

that's what I am guessing. I will order up a couple of standard hubs and report back with the results. Thanks again all for your input. Adie

the above is true with the fwh in either 2wd or 4wd settings.

Hi guys To confirm... turning the wheel had zero effect on the prop shaft in any configuration of gear selection either 2wd or 4wd. In 2wd the propshaft could be fully rotated by hand, in 4wd I get about half a turn. cheers adie

I cant really think of a time when I would use the low ratio anyway so cant see me ever using it other than to disengage 4wd.... unless I find somewhere local to play :) So do you think its the hubs then? I am more confident now that I know the prop locks when 4wd selected. cheers...

Ahh, I was talking about the prop only moving half a turn, the road wheel freely rotated whatever was done with the gear selector. cheers Adie

Ok, out of work early and tested with following result: One front wheel up in air. Low ratio selected and in gear : Prop only move about half a turn then solid. into Hi ratio and in gear prop spins by hand freely. Am I right in saying that hubs are the issue? Cheers all. Adie

Brilliant. Thanks for that. Adie:)

I am at work today but hoping to get a look tonight once I get in. If I don't get any joy with the prop turning then I might take you up on that offer, but don't mind bringing it to you if that's easier? Thanks all for the replies. Adie
