Removing swivels to replace cv joint and swivel seal. What a mess!

Update: @tottot Noise has completely gone but surely it can't have fixed itself! :confused: I checked the condition of the balls and there is a bit more pitting on the drivers side but passenger looks okay (please see pictures) does this all need replacing? Next I checked the grease level in...

Not good! Glad the security saved it!! Which area of the country , I'm trying to map all of the thefts and attempted thefts.

Thanks! Its a 1999. I'll take a closer look at the swivels on full lock to see if there is anymore pitting. If not I'll just replace seals then replace swivels at a later date. Someone on another forum said they smoothed over the pitting marks using metal epoxy o_O Main thing is to check the...

On second thoughts, going by the picture in my first post have the swivels been filled by oil rather than grease? o_O(im not with the car now so can't check)

I'll do this first, thanks Oldseadog! I just like to know that the problem is sorted especially as I'm going on a long trip soon. Plus it gives me the chance to learn more about fixing a landy which hopefully will prove useful at some point ;) Thanks for this! Very useful, I will be doing it...

Hi all! So the 90 has developed another noise this time when steering towards full lock. It sounds to me like a clicking sound and after some initial research I believe the CVs are the culprit. Oddly, when taking out the Landy this morning the noise wasn't there so what is the best course of...

Hi all! So I believe it is time to change my clutch master and slave cylinder as my pedal has gone soft and presses to the floor. All of the clutch fluid has gone but there doesn't seem to be a leak anywhere so I presume it's leaked into the bell housing? Anyway my question is about bleeding...

This is the only option worth considering. Optimill swivel lock + Optimill quick release + Momo steering wheel These are the links you need...

Ah! Never heard of them before :) I appreciate that thanks!

Whats an ORPA?

My understanding of greenlanes is that they are part of the legal road network and are classed as BOATs or Byways Open To All traffic as they have vehicular rights. In order to drive them, all of the road laws and regulations still apply, ie tax, mot, insurance etc are still required, however as...

Interesting! Any idea who she insures with as I'll try them out with a quote? Thanks Good point although I've spent all of my money on the 90 :D.

Yep I think I might have to. Its not fun looking at it on the drive whilst you cant go anywhere in it :( They can and regularly do cancel insurance (even when it is massively unfair/when the black box glitches) as they can see exactly how you are driving through the blackbox. Any slight hiccup...
