Right then Update time. I went with an AP driveline clutch kit after looking at the britpart HD one and comparing the two The AP one looked and felt much better quality so despite being £25 more I went for that. The springs in the centre looked thicker the friction surface looked more even...

Well mines coming upto 180k so i'm guessing that'll be the second clutch so they cant be too bad I suppose. I just like the idea of making something better when the opportunity arises. Maybe your right it would be better to keep it simple (stupid) and fit another O.E one.

Well I plan to do lots more off roading Mainly Greenlanes and probably lots of towing and recovery, so I thought a heavy duty clutch would be a good Idea - Problem is I cant find one listed for the Disco......

Has anyone used a heavy duty type 110 clutch in a Discovery (200 Tdi with LT77). I was wondering weather it would fit and be a worthwhile 'upgrade' or not. I'll be doing the clutch arm mod whilst the box is out just wonderin about the clutch opinions and advise please.....

I think youre getting early 200 tdi calipers mate according to the haines manual there were two types ;)

welcome matey

Replaced both rear brake discs and pads and a rear (seized) caliper, then I washed it for the first time in 8 months.

downlaoding now big thanks :)

Seems fine mate, did i give you the wrong email (might of spelt it wrong) its in my signature anyway

I thought you were all being sarcastic about the hammer....... Really weren 't kidding though were you? Some stoopid grease monkey did the hub nuts up on mine with a hammer and chisel - Only way I could get em off was the same way (in Reverse):violent:

PM Sent ;)

That looks like a good piece of kit. Where can I get one of those? Just used me new Britpart box spanner to try to get my rear hub nuts off no joy - Cold chisel got the bugger though. Good job I got a few spares when I got the spanner this morning :) BTW the holes for a tommy bar in the...

Well I know stilsens dont work, not on the rear of a Disco anyways. So I'll be needing 2 new hub nuts and a new hub spanner.....

Thats why I thought I'd start a thread on the unusual/Special tools we need to keep our landies going ;)

Another example the calliper bolts were a 13mm splined head not a regular hex head luckily I had a 13mm 12-point ring spanner that fitted, but a reglar socket wouldn't touch it.

Mines a '94 200 TDi Discovery I was thinking for tools to cover all landies though. Must be a quite few I'd guess, after playing with mine since dinner time one thing I know for sure is I'm gonna need a bigger/ Better quality tool kit my 3/8 halfords ratchet sets not gonna last long against a...

Right I just got half way through changing me rear brake discs when I realised I'd need a bloody huge great hub socket. It never mentioned it in the Haynes manual, so I never gave it a thought.:doh: So now I know I'll need one to get the job done I was wondering if theres any other special...

'kin-ell just proves how tough landies really are!!!

Thanks for the comments I've ordered a replacement Caliper, a Front discs pad kit and a rear disc pad kit. Hopefully that should get me moving again, will consider the stainless steel piston upgrade at a later date. Bleediing brakes is gonna be fun :( :Cry:

Discs all round look pretty dodgy so I think I'll be doing them anyway. The one in question is definatly blued. Could the heat build up of damaged the caliper?
