Right then, took the prop off and checked the circlips, everything is in place (although one was questionable before), although the diff end one really did seem a bit tight in one direction, and after a 5 or so mile test drive had got a bit warm, even though it was well greased. Vibration is...

OK, I'm going to double check the circlips. I think they are all seated, however I did "tweak" the fit to ensure that the UJs were still loose-ish...if they are supposed to be tight I wonder if I need to just apply a bit more welly...

Yokes are inline, bolts are all correct, flanges seated OK. Tony e, if 180 out will make a difference, am I best to start at the diff end?

Thanks for the reply James. They are in the same plane...I did not pull the two halves of the prop apart. My understanding though is that where the rear UJ mates to the rear diff flange, in theory it could be 0/90/180/270 degrees and only one of those is correct...

Booger. Swapped the UJs in my rear prop and I now have a vibration around 45mph. In fairness it's only around that speed...slower or faster is OK. It was only after the event I've realised that you are possibly supposed to mark the positions of the prop on the flanges. However most googling...

Zeaphod I had a new Britpart and then a new Waxstat. Both 88 degrees, however although I'm around the high 70s it does run marginally warmer since I fitted the Waxstat. Thinking about it, I do vaguely remember Steve Parkers saying that with that multiple thread adaptor setup the temp sender is...

As you know I have a very similar setup to you...however I've never seen mine climb above 80 degrees, and it's usually lower. I'd be very tempted to double check that your gauge is working correctly...have you tried a laser thermometer thingy to get a second opinion on the actual running temp?

I've had an SIII, Disco 1, Defender 110 and the missus drives a Freelander. The best compromise is probably the Disco, but the best by miles is the 110. I had my Disco for 9 years...when I bought it, it was in pretty good nick and even though I looked after it, it fell apart. It was comfy on...

I went for volts, oil pressure, boost as below on the Raptor dash. Gauges are Chinese "Dragon Gauges" from eBay but do the job. Ignore the readings on the oil press and boost, the sensors were not wired in at the time. Normal dash is speedo, oil temp & water temp, fuel, clock You will...

Disco or Defender engine? And why do you want two gauges?

Nah, can't be the passenger seat. It's not a squeal or annoying drone or a constant grating noise, and try as I might I can't ignore it, tune out, la-la-la over the top of it or simply drown it out with the radio. Interestingly, I managed to fix all that by fitting a switch to the dashboard...

Thanks guys. Don't think it's an engine or box mount, they are all present and correct from what I can see. And there's too much "resonance" for that...I'd expect that to be much more of a banging noise. Can't be induction either...at the same time I fitted the nex exhaust I fitted the pukka...

Guys I have an annoying noise on my 'fender (1986 110SW with a Disco 200 Tdi engine). Basically, every so often there's an annoying, slightly rattling, resonating noise that sounds pretty much exactly like a didgeridoo. Usually caused by being in too high a gear, usually 4th on a hill, however...

^This...

Certainly straighter than the LANDROVER badge across the bonnet!!! ;-) Bumper looks very strong though...

Well, hole for the SPA digital temp gauge needed a little bit of fettling even though it was supposed to be a standard 52mm diameter but we are talking a few thou here. All the other holes were spot on. It is not a Raptor product though. If you do the same, you'll also need to shorten the...

I picked up a similar dash panel at the Great British LR Show, which was also supposed to fit in the same way, however I think that the panel just lying over the top of the clocks looks a bit naff so I went down the dash-stripping route. Finished it last night...pleased with the result.

I went round and round with the seat choices thing and just ended up with an Exmoor re-trim kit and new foams and also heaters and it works fine. Lots of these other options just seemed too compromised...knees hitting steering wheels, tricky getting in and out over bolsters, bolsters hitting...

Is this the one at the Newbury showground that kinda took over from Old Sodbury?

What I think looks awful is when no thought has been put into it...like this. With black arches at least make the plate black in this case (with white wheels the matching plate to wheels thing is out of the window clearly). This piece just looks very lonely and plain wierd. I also hate the...
