FYI 12 degrees is wrong. You are one third out. You work it out. But 12 is wrong.

With help like yours I think I will **** off from the forum.

I think I will do what jamesmartin suggested and work from an engineering point of view thanks.

You do understand I have a discovery 1 axel going into a series 2a. The disco has coil springs and the 2a has leaf springs.

Ok now I know for sure you don't full understand castor. I think we will leave it there.

Also what does BTW mean?

* means degrees. When I went to school * did not mean that. Degrees is a better word or put a key in so people understand what you mean. Now you are starting to make sense. Please remember if someone asked a question they need help not mind reading. Also you don't have any idea of my skill and...

So where do you set the spring plates to. You say 12* . What are you using a reference point. The diff the flange what....

The castor is the line thought the steering it should be set to 3degrees positive. There must be a reference point on the hub. There is a flat top an bottom of the hub, I need to know if the flat is 90 degree to the castor if so I can set then angle to 3 degrees to this point or has the hub been...

Ok I am lost now....I think I have got myself confused. How does the spring set the castor?

I have a set thanks. But what I need to know is where to weld the spring plates I need a reference point to set the angle.

Hi all Does anybody know if the discovery 1 axel has the castor angle machined into the swivel. I am fitting a disco axel to my series and I need to know if the flat on the swivel hub is pre set to 3 degrees or 0 degrees. Thanks Kev

Fitted a new thermostat. Warmer at last....but not much lol :)

Well put a new stat in today. Went for a blast down the motorway at 60mph(top speed on defender 1.6 transfer box) and it's running about 10 degrees hotter. It has made a difference. I will just have to face facts she runs cooler. Thanks guys Kev

No problem. If you need any help converting to power steering give us a shout. Kev
