Sorry to sound dumb but I didn't understand half of that lol. :confused: For a defender 90 200tdi they recommend OSR rear half shafts and 5806 drive members. Their shafts and drive members don't come as one part. If you have a 200tdi discovery 1 then they recommend OSR rear half shafts and...

You sure as it's not what the ashcroft website says? Lookup p/n 5806 and 5806m on their site. I guess given the answers above I should take one off to check it's not 24 spline already. I'm still none the wiser as to which ones I should buy though. Ill phone ashcroft first thing.

Ive got a 1994 200 tdi 90 with thick type drive members on the rear. Ive just bought a Ashcroft diff which requires 24 spline half shafts. im assuming mine are 10 spline given the age of vehicle and the fact it has the thick type drive members. So based upon that i need the old style rear...

just a pity it drives like a car, when your head says it should drive like a truck! FYI having had both an X-Trail and a Pathfinder. The Pathfinder is by far the better vehicle (unless you want it to drive like a car!)

im no expert but CCA and Ah are very different measures of a battery. CCA is the ability of the battery to throw out large amperages in a short space of time. You need plenty of this to start and engine. Ah is the measure of how long a battery can support a set load. You need plenty of...

Yeah it would be fine.

2-3mm should be fine. All depends on your spots obviously. I'm running led so they draw less current. Take the wattage of the lights on the circuit. Say 100w. Divide that by 12. That's your voltage and dividing it by voltage gives you amps. Amps=watts/voltage. Making it 12 not 12.5 builds...

This is my setup if anyone is interested or comes across this thread on search and all that started when i fitted the winch too!

Wouldn't worry. I've never struggled for someone to help out when stuck. Usually plenty if people about too.

sure i read in the paper last year that they thought it had now gone out. probably exhausted the coal seam which was burning underground.

you mean the trees on the far side :D

silverdale is good site but with AT's i wouldnt bother. I get stuck regular on cooper stt muds on 265's. The guys running 285+ insa turbo get around the best. the regular recoveries are what make it interesting though whether your stuck/recovering or just watching :D the council have been...

here you go! Disco Disaster :D Discovery disaster at Weston Coyney 4x4 - YouTube easily done too... both these guys have done it before. basically you come from the left and drop a wheel in and whoosh it all goes wrong lol. Tick Hill 29th July 2012 - Mud Hole steep bank - YouTube...

great day out. dont know if i spoke to any of you, but was a great day out; and shed loads of people there! Some nice bits of kit too, a D3! brave lol and a nice blue series too. I think everyone watched the disco recovery saga :D just uploading some short vids to youtube. will linky when its...

Yep. I'll be there!

now youve bought some kit. heres a video training course on how *not* to do it lol VERY professional kinetic rope snatch recovery - YouTube the vids from this guy always provide a laugh.

you should be fine. i run a goodwinch 9.5 on my 200tdi 90. the alternator output is 60amp as standard iirc or slightly more if you have replaced it. mines got dual batteries however. important thing is to ensure you get adequate (i.e. 35-40mm2) cable for both positive and negative all the way...

weston coyney isnt on until the 29th i dont think

Nah, its not a beach. I've been loads of times without trouble. Some are wary of going through the lake bit due to worries about sand getting in but I think its fine. I've had a couple of small stones in the brakes but it soon comes out.

Weston Coyney is a great place to start. You should have some fun. Ill be going i think. Look out for a white 90. Id be happy to recover you if you get stuck lol :eek: FYI, Weston Coyney is an old SAND quarry, so its not soil at all. Its mostly rocky and thin amount of sand with some bits...
