Timber Trail have just been intouch with me. They think it was a dodgy batch. Send em my pin and theyll send me a new one - that's all I wanted.

Mine was definitely from Timber Trail and it's definitely soft.

It's all kicking off on Facebook! The Timber Trail Boost pins have been found to be too soft for the job - mine included. You need to be a member of the Landrover Discovery Owners Group to see this: https://www.facebook.com/groups/13506049097/permalink/10153003587664098/

Thanks, but horse/door/bolt springs to mind. Anyone else got an opinion?

Hi I had a leak from the throttle shaft on my injection pump. Long story short, cocked up the repair, needed a new pump. Couldn't afford new or recon, so bought 2nd hand that had been sat on shelf for a while. Fit went well, all timing spot on, now starts first knock. But, there's a leak on...

Thanks for the replies - I was expecting more of a **** take to be honest, you've all been very kind! yeah, I'm not sure either - it was one of those days really... poured a full cup of tea all over myself, dropped my dinner, knacked my steering column - we've all had em! Wasn't aware of...

I spent more on new bearings than I did on fuel. Then I found the penny trick and not a peep since. Also, the value of my Disco almost doubled

Did the same thing to my Disco over the weekend. The counting turns thing is only for when you'll be putting the old balljoints back into the trackrod/draglink, you need a tape measure and a steel rule when you put new ones in. To get old ones out, a couple of hammers to thwack around the...

After replacing the trackrod/draglink ball joints and rebushing the radius arms (+ about £400 of other parts around the vehicle), the steering wheel was about 30° out. The tracking is spot on, so Mr Haynes-Manual suggested removing the steering wheel and resetting it on it's splines. I removed...

Nah, lockheed - defo correct part. It amazes me that Britpart are still going tbh, although I've heard theyve taken over a few top notch manufacturer's imports and rebagging them (my rear prop donut was in a Britpart bag but still stamped GKN, as is the LR original) Has to be done and it's...

Right, well, fixed it this weekend with the help of the best mate anyone could ever have... Turned out the pivot post had come out of it's hole in the bellhousing still fully clipped to the fork. When I started this thread it mustve been jamming up next to it's hole. Later on it'd swivelled...

A mate of mine gets regular visits from York police warning him to watch out for his series/defender/disco hybrid - even though it's up on stands and has no front end.

Are there several types of slave for the r380? The new slave's pushrod is identical to the old one... I have no reason to believe that it was as it shouldve been, so if there are different combinations, please let me know what they could be and how I can figure out what I have. Cheers

Yeah, moves freely with little effort, springs out again nicely. Not sure how central the pushrod is to the hole. The clip broke (naturally) and I have a replacement, but was thinking of dispensing with it tbh. I imagine I'd have noticed if pushrod was too far off centre.

towards back of vehicle, no movement at all - slight movement towards front when I give it a prise. New pushrod, yes. Although by "new" I mean everything's 2nd hand, stripped, cleaned n reconned. That's my biggest fear to be honest. Is there a way to be sure and get it back on without...
