    Poorly chassis...

    My chassis has some holes each side of the chassis where it starts to bend upwards at the rear and where the trailing arm brackets are welded on. Local garage wanted £500 so I'm hoping to get a welding friend of mine to do it one weekend. Definitely on one side, maybe both will need the...

    Axle rebuild...

    Hopefully between the Haynes and Internet I should be fine. And cheers spencer, that'd be very helpful! I just need to get back from Norway and pick the axle up now...

    Axle rebuild...

    I'd love to do a full rebuild on my truck but I don't have the space, money or time... So this seemed like a good warm up :) By manual, what do you mean - I have a Haynes manual not sure how in depth that goes in the axles? And parts diagrams online? Does the discovery axle have the same part...

    Axle rebuild...

    Thanks, I'll check that out now! :) That's my thinking and then I can just swap it at my leisure and sell the old one... I'll be sure to post plenty of photos... And even more questions! So timken for bearings and avoid britpart for the rest... Got it. I don't really have anywhere to do...

    Axle rebuild...

    Picking up a front axle off a discovery next week and the plan is to rebuild it and eventually swap it onto my 110 hicap. I'm great at taking things apart, it's just the putting stuff back together that proves tricky... :D So I was looking for advice - what to replace, what brands are sh*t...

    Wanted 110 front axle...

    I was hoping to rebuild the axle as well as calipers before swapping it with the one that's currently on there but looking at prices, it may be worth me buying new calipers anyway so the disco one would work for me...

    Wanted 110 front axle...

    What will I have to change if I were to fit a disco front axle then? Defender calipers, track rod and drag link?

    Wanted 110 front axle...

    As above, I'm looking for an axle that will fit my 110 300tdi hicap to rebuild :) Anywhere close...ish to Ipswich would be ideal.

    Hi cap...

    Heading out for the landys first long trip tomorrow, 4 and a half hour round trip... Just swapped two of the wheels back to the at's and I'll swap the front two before we set off in the morning :) Oils low so will need topping up before we go and worryingly, the water was low, took over two...

    Hi cap...

    Stuck the insa's on today as no f*cker wanted to buy them off me! :D Didn't buy the spacers so stuck them on without. They stick out of the arches by about an inch and a half so probably a good job I didn't stick the spacers on! Looks good but my god do they make some bloody noise! I was...

    Hi cap...

    Going to stick my 265/75/16 insa's on there today and may be picking up some 39mm spacers. Looking forward to seeing how she sits! Need to give her a service soon too.
