Haha - yeah I don't even bother with that anymore!

I paid for express shipping (£10) and got a new wheel brace too (mine bends when undoing the wheels so not worth risking snappage for £5!) and the whole lot came to £37 with VAT.

Getting them from paddocks, they have normally been good when I order from them. The swivels are on the front but I guess the part number/description is the same for the rear stub axel gasket seals on front and back. That part was from the Rear Axel section...plus for 20p if it's wrong I can...

Just about to buy these item, should cover all the possibilities shouldn't it?: 1 Stub axle seal FTC5268 £1.30 £1.30 1 Swivel to stub axle gasket FTC3648 £0.20 £0.20 1 Hub seal FTC4785R £1.65 £1.65 1 Drive flange gasket (hub gasket) 571752 £0.12 £0.12 2 Hub bearing (aka wheel...

Thanks for the reply. Worth changing the bearing while I'm in there I guess....the hub seals only that poxy rubber ring isn't it?

Morning, found out that the whine from my rear diff was probably due to lack of oil. Now I've filled her up, I noticed a load of oil leaking out the half shaft seals on the NSR wheel. Am I right in assuming that it's: a) Probably the wheel bearing (replace bearing, halfshaft/spline gasket...

I've used FBB before and they were pretty good. My old man used them loads too. Haven't been there for ages so not sure how their reputation is now. Google Maps

It's not only curiosity that killed the cat then! Was it a 9-blade fan? Else it wouldn't have taken all 9 lives in the first rotation....!

that's a bit messy isn't it?! Got a good one for you here, and it's true. When my mate was training to be a mechanic, he got a job at a garage to do his apprenticeship. A newish Audi came in to be looked at as it was making some weird noises and the power steering felt "off" to the lady...

I've got same issue, not bothered fixing it yet but I found a quick roadside repair is to let the window mechanism wind down a bit, pull the rubber stripping from both sides of door top, pull the glass to the top of window frame with a pair of pliers if you can't quite reach it, then wind the...

Away from the flying chunks of metal would be my guess! Well I checked rear diff oil and it was practically empty....weird as there is no leak?! Still, I've stuck a litre and a bit in of EP80-90 GL4 (all I had lying around) and it's quietened down a bit. Still a bit of a whirr. Drove it...

Got a weird noise coming from my disco. At first I thought it was tyre noise but I've not changed them and it never did it before. Sounds like it could be the rear diff but I'm not sure. It does sound like tyre noise, it's got a rumbly whiny quality that increases with road speed. Firstly, is...

yeah it cuts down on noise and prevents heat damage to the paint finish on the hood lid (I would imagine this wouldn't ever be an issue!) I think that's all it's for.

What transmission is it running?

It would look better covered in fire..........! haha

That's a queer as a 3 bob note. What a time wasting tit - he wants to buy a "sports diesel car" WTF?! 1990 CHEVROLET CAMARO CUSTOM SHOW CAR on eBay (end time 20-Aug-09 08:25:08 BST) This Camaro is worse - saw it on there a couple years ago and it's come back! Sold for £7000 then - look...

Ay, rip it off. One could argue that not having it can help lower engine temperature but with the size of the bonnet on Landies, doubt it'd make that much difference!

No I am thinking that there must be a better way. Maybe one of those 350w inverters that run off the 12v lighter socket? hahaha Probably just leave this as a lost cause!

That's not bad at all, a proper snorkel kit runs to over £150 normally don't they?
