I'm sure you are right - but I never seemed to get the standard one to work on the really extreme hence the changeover

I was on a hairpin bend on a very narrow rough track on a steep slope with a sheer drop on two sides with the 110 hard up against the rock face because of the poor turning circle and the handbrake would not hold and I needed to reverse - that was when I decided on the x-eng -there is absolutely...

Heard about the sliders but not sure what they are - have box with x-eng fitted on barn floor with prop off - when moving disc towards the 4 bolts the fixed disc is proud and thus when tightening bolts the disc pushing up tight onto the disc. I,m a bit thick when it comes to mechanicals and when...

Think I will book the Wednesday ferry as it gets to Santander about noon - and will get to Algeciras late Friday pm - and will be happy to wait until Monday before going into Morocco. Yes we were more than worried about the hub but it seemed ok - drove like a different vehicle afterwards - no...

The disc is rubbing against the fixed pad on the caliper - the disc is clear of the pad operated by the handbrake lever. It is the fixed pad - the pad nearer the front of the vehicle - that is rubbing against the disc and there seems no way of adjusting it and this creates the substantial...

Yes thanks for your reply have previously glued the pads. On closer examination the problem is the fixed pad touching the disc all the way round it and producing a loud whoosing noise louder the faster the vehicle goes - is there any way of solving this - have done about 500 miles and no sign of...

The x-eng has one big spring - are there others inside that cannot be easily seen.

Just been to have a closer look at the transfer box/x-eng hand brake on the floor of the barn. Turning the disc on the hand brake makes THE NOISE. The disc is loose of course so going to put the rear propshaft on to tighten the nuts to secure the disc and see if the noise is still there - if so...

Would a longer bolt encourage such a noise.

Thanks for that - does sound like the noise a brake shoes would make. I put in a transfer box from another 110 I have and the noise was no more - but the handbrake was changed also - the replacement transfer box had a drum handbrake - however the noisy one had an x-eng handbrake - could this...

Transfer box was not making knocking or sharp noises - but a smooth rubbing sound but louder the faster the vehicle went and really drove me crazy - under 15 mph could not hear anything.

Ashcrofts supplied- 1.4 gear set plus FTC 5089 26 tooth cross drilled input gear.

Just been looking at ferry times - Wednesday or Friday - is the intention to go into Morocco Monday. On another subject got back from Turkey a few days ago - half way through the journey one of the front inner wheel bearing cases totally collapsed - what a noise. Have a look on youtube -...

Did about 500 miles - noise levels remained the same throughout.

Thanks for the suggestion but the box is now out of the 110 and has been sitting on the barn floor for last 4 weeks

Not yet but cannot see any other option. It is out of the 110 at the moment - as put in another transfer box from another 110 I have as was leaving later in the day for Turkey

Hi everyone - changed gearing from 1.2 to 1.4 on my 300tdi 110 and the noise appeared - louder the faster the vehicle goes - over and above the engine noise. The garage - who I have used for many years and are very experienced - took it back and opened the transfer box and re-did it - but the...

Just to elaborate - the clutch fork had broken and we arrived in Assa about 2pm - we asked at a café and numerous customers immediately got onto their phones - there was no answer - R was probably at the mosque - after about an hour he turned up wearing his best cloths - he had to go home to...

Assa would be good as I promised to deliver an engine chain lift to Rashid who repaired my 110 for me on his rest day after prayers.

Hi Mike - I bought the 1.4 gears from Ashcrofts so I didn't have to fork out for a T/box - so I have a nearly new 1.2 set for say £165 - will show pictures of them when the job is done.
