    Power steering to a early 90

    Good Luck with it, you didn't say, but hopefully you got all the correct fixings (nuts, bolts, p clips etc etc), I always find that makes the whole job a lot easier when doing stuff like this :) Edit ........... Belt ?

    Land Rover Disco looks like the Bailiffs have been in :D :D :D I was dreading this job, dunno why, probably because I've read somewhere that they are difficult, and never done a D2 !! About half hour and it was all stripped out, "No Clips, Trim pieces etc were harmed in the making of this...

    D2 transmission issues

    D2 transmission issues

    Sounds to me like the DMF is starting to break up ............... Clutch and DMF Kit is needed. Bearing in mind how much work this entails I would only ever fit a LUK Kit not any other !! BTW I am an ex Transmission Firm owner, now semi retired and own a small indie Garage business ;) HTH :)
