Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has experience with the Britpart poly bush kit for the p38 (DC7107)? I know many people say to never put poly bushes on a rangie as it will give a harsh ride and they don't allow enough roll. I disagree strongly with the poly bush hate. Harshness depends on...

Okay I was away for a bit but soon I'll have a go at figuring out the phasing of my propshaft. I have a feeling this may be my issue and am hoping on a near-free fix which would be nice for a change! I'll keep this topic up to date once I figure it out.

Thanks all! The pinion flange sealing face seemed okay to me when I did the seal. But installing the seal a bit deeper may be a good idea. Also worth mentioning the car has 275k kms on the clock. How can the u-joints be out of phase? I did take the drive shaft out but didn't touch the...

So I am a bit confused. I'll describe all the symptoms and what I think about it, but would like a bit of input and other opinions. So I had a leaking front diff. Leak came from the pinion seal. I replaced the seal. It nearly immediately leaked again. The leak is a very slow leak, but you can...

Thanks all for the input! My main concern with the cheaper ones is the flow. If I install new ones they should help my fuel consumption, otherwise it's not worth it atm. Any ideas about that? About dropping the crossmember, dropping is not the issue but getting it back in place was a major...

That seems interesting!! Having to drop the crossmember is one of the things holding me back from replacing the cats 😅 But how's the quality? Given they're half the price of a Britpart one..

Soo I finally got round to checking on this, spent the end of the year moving and didn't have time for car stuff. Right cat is the culprit, the innards have come lose. Als the heat shield on the downpipe on that side is loose but don't think that produces any rattle yet. Not sure if I'll...

I hope not because that would mean adding more things to my parts list, yet again 😂

Well I didn't crawl underneath to do all the checks as the noise was gone friday morning. Aaand it was ****ing down the last few days I was in Ireland so I didn't feel like crawling around in the mud to look for something making a noise that wasn't there. I didn't feel movement in the crank...

Alright thanks, I'll find a rock to crawl onto tomorrow and have a look.

Hmm okay thanks! And it is visible if its broken through the bell housing inspection hole?

Well the noise is there even on an ice cold engine so I guess I'm good with regards to the liners. The car has run on LPG before but that system has been completely removed. What does the flexplate do? Never heard of it.. BUT the sound does remind me of a broken dual mass flywheel, which the...

Went to a LR specialist in Galway today and he had a look. Didn't think it would be anything major, rather something like a bracket come loose on the exhaust. Didn't put it on a lift as he had another car on there, and he understandably didn't dare crawling underneath to have a proper look as my...

Okay on startup this morning she makes the noise when cold so has nothing to do with temperature apparently

Thanks! That sounds a lot more high pitched than what I have, but same kind of frequency.
