Is the quick connect coupler joined properly? Can only think the MC was forcing fluid to a dead head and that’s why it gave

all, thanks for replies. It is a very well manufactured part by the looks of it - deffo new and not a refurb. The front spider joint gaitor is present, the pics show the shaft in the retracted position, if I pull it out the gaitor is exposed :eek: Its fitted now and no problems with vibration...

Will do Mike, I have emailed island-4x4 to ask if they can check another one in there stock for a balance weight.

Hi all, Purchased a new Bearmach front propshaft....one thing I have noticed is that there isn't a single balance weight on it anywhere! Is this normal, can they guarantee perfect symmetry in todays manufacturing processes on propshafts?!

Hey all, Gone and got me my third hippo, sold the Disco3 and went back to my roots, got this cheeky 2003 TD4 ES with 69k on the clock. Hopefully start contributing to the forum again in bits and pieces.

Hey all, Just a note to say i'll be back on the forum posting again soon, purchased a 2003 TD4 which I will be picking up this weekend. It complements the Discovery3 I have also on the drive. Rear window is loose, slightly damp on sunroof middle felt, 60000 miles - pretty nice example.

Glad it's still helping folk out :)

Maybe also so that the stud has more strength by having the waist sitting snugly in the chamfer? Wish they would tell you why to modify :/

Master cylinder is first place to look, or behind clutch pedal in Footwell. If they are both dry it's your slave cylinder inside bell housing!

Glad it was helpful :)

Hi all, Fitting a new timing belt kit (INA/Bearmach sprocket, tensioner, idler + Dayco belt). Previous owner had fitted the modified parts (crank sprocket with belt guides, idler with no guides) but they hadn't modified the case. According to landrover the case should be modified too - where...

Can I get a warranty to cover engine, and sell with warranty do you think? Even advertised it £850 without warranty with no interested, that's at a £500 loss! Would £900 with a warranty attract more people do you think? Fire her up every week on the pallet, brings shear joy to my heart as she...
