DEVELOPED A MISSFIRE AT LOW REVS, CHANGED INJECTOR LOOM AND TESTED USUAL SUSPECTS MAF MAP EGR NO ISSUES THERE. AFTER RUNNING REMOVED ROCKER COVER AND A CLOUD OF GREY/ WHITE SMOKE ESCAPED THAT SMELT JUST LIKE EXHAUST FUMES. AM I CORRECT IN THINKING THIS PRESSURE AND FUMES INDICATE POSSIBLE PISTON...

how easy would it be to swap it for a lt230 transfer box?

the sugested oil for my 3.9 d1 is 10w40 but i found a vid on youtube about a small ticking noise from a landrover v8 they changed the oil to 15w40 and it disapeared. i am asuming running a v8 on 15w40 would be fine then?

brill thanks for the info. ill go check my piggy bank

Excellent is there a way of telling if a second hand one is in good working order? and do you recomend anywere to get a replacement?

Cool cheers for the help gota find some cash now, cheapest i found was £250 for an exchange recond v/c. Another quick question maybe silly but i had a navara previously and when that was in 4wd turning in a tight circle would make alont of tyre noise and it would struggle. This isnt happening...

no solid :Cry: Whats the next step? would it be best to get it refurbed or find a replacement?

v/c is definatly tight i have to pretty much jump on the bar to get the wheel to move a few inches. If i knock the transfer box in neutral should it then spin even if the vc is seized?

cool will give that a try today cheer for the help

cheers all thanks cleared my mind. if i lift one front wheel it wont turn but both front turn if both front are off the floor. i didnt try with a bar just by hand. yeah i remember loosing abit of skin freeing up my mates diff lock linkage.

i removed the center colsol on my disco 1 to have a look as i thought it was seized and this is what i found [/IMG] is it me or does that look different

It definatly looks different to the others ive seen. I found this video on youtube and you can see what i mean Diff Locks Last Stand (Rated PG) - YouTube

Cool Cheers. This is what i can see after removing the centre consol.

How do you post images on here? I can show you what i am see from in the car cheers.

yeah it has the flap style door handles side facing 6 n 7th seats and the indicators that have a slope on them. I have removed center consol n had a look and the lever definatly dosnt have anywere to slide. Hence my confusion.
