Does anyone know the correct settings for doing the tracking properly? Toe in or out settings and where the drop arm should be pointing. I know that with the wheels in the straight ahead position the drop arm should be slightly to the offside but...
Checked the swivel preload (again) and filled both front hubs up with nice new grease. Changed the a frame balljoint (what a **** of a job), tightened the rear right wheel bearing, replaced the UJs on the rear prop, tried to see why my rear diff...
Earth issues. I had this with my fuel and temp guages where they would fluctuate by themselves with the fuel guage occasionally dropping to zero despite plenty fuel in the tank. It was especially apparent with the side lights on. Not only did I...
This stuff. I got it at The Spray Store in Motherwell. They recommended 2.5ltrs for the 90 at a 2:1 mix with standard thinners for spraying. £70 inc the vat.
Done the front propshaft UJs and refitted it then sealed a leak (hopefully) on the transfer box. Discovered that my rear prop now needs the UJs doing but that's a tomorrow job and with that off it'll let me sort out that diff flange leak as well.
Painting the 90 over the last couple of days. It’s going from white to a kind of olive green. I’ve got the roof, rear roof side panels and doors off and painting them all while they are off, but the bodywork was so hot yesterday I’ve ended up...
I got mine from Gwyn Lewis, I'm lucky in that he lives a couple of villages away so I dropped in and one of his friendly daughters helped me out!
Honestly, I think this might solve your problem, keep us updated! Good luck...
I might need to try this as I'm still getting that rattle and wobble through the steering and can't think what else to change. I'll see if my local motor place can get one in for me as they always have good brand name stuff anyway
I had almost this exact same issue not so long ago, exacerbated when towing.
I replaced my drop arm ball joint, which impoved it, but was still getting a strange feeling through the steering going into corners hard or towing, I checked...
Drop arm balljoint done. Absolute piece of cake of a job, especially when you've got the right tools. Dunno what all the faff is about lol. New panhard rod bushes pressed in and that'll be going on tonight. The Febi ones are great quality and...
That is why I have a low amp fused bypass on mine. Enough to keep things powered, radio, tracker, alarm etc, but as soon as you turn the ignition on and the glow plug tray kicks in the fuse will blow! You just need something similar for the alarm...
I ordered a remote battery cut off relay as extra security, fitted it and it worked really well until I realised that neither by tracker or alarm worked 😒. It promptly got taken back off and I could have rewired both directly to the battery but...
Yeah that's mine in the video. Everything else is solid besides that and when id taken it off the rubber had become detached. No idea what's going on but I've ordered a poly set and I've also managed to get a febi set from my local motor place...
There aren't that many earth points and the loom behind the dash is accessible. The dash is easy to remove and if it means getting better access to solve your problem then it's worth it. It sounds like a short to me though but it may not be...
They are the correct bolts but failing that I'll have some spares kicking around somewhere. ill go have a look just now for some decent bushes, I'm not bothered about whether or not they're poly but hopefully there's a bit less to go wrong with...
They were aftermarket. After the first ones failed I went back to the seller and he sent me what to took to be some decent aftermarket ones. Clearly not. I either go for oem metalastic bushes or poly
The bolts are correct panhard rod bolts but even tightening it up to 110nm made no difference. It was already ft as they were only supposed to be 88nm. I took the rod off and there's a tiny bit of slack when the bolt goes through the bottom bush...
I tried to upload a video but can't. I got my missus to rock the steering back and forth and everything is solid except for the panhard rod. The amount of movement in the bushes, especially the one at the steering box end, is ridiculous. I took a...
The angle of the bulkhead will change the angle of the steering column. The UJs can obviously compensate but I would imagine only so much as they still need to be able to take into account the movement of the chassis
