Did you ever sell the landy or engine?

Cleaned splines etc and battere the arm as far as i coud with a socket. Its on the spline 85% and ball joint finally happy with it. Took her for a test drive and all good, no play in the steering at all :). I rekon that arms been on since my landy was built and i was trying to get the arm to the...

yup going back out to take off and clean and check everything again. Ball joint has the washer i just put it back in to show the gap. cheers all. Will just keep footering at it until i get it perfect.

Going to take it back off and clean all the splines and see if that helps.

I will take a couple of photos later on to show what i mean, nut is on just flush with the bottom of the steering shaft. The split pin is 2 cm above the castle nut so is holding nothing?? Just looks wrong.........

put the new one on the same position the old one came off. Looks exactly the same as the old one? But like i say, i dont think i should need to hammer the new one on as its a tapered spline?

Ok, nightmare to get old one off, bang\heat\10 ton puller\ combinations of all those, finally cut a slot in it and chiseled it off yeahhhhhh. Ordered part No. qfw000020, it dosent go up far enough on the splines?!!? Old one sat about 2cm from the box, this one is about 5cm away from the box...

got a Master cylinder STC100411 will this fit my 1997 300Tdi? Seems to be lots on fleabay all with different part numbers??? :P

When it stops ****ing with rain i will go and have a look at the master and slave and the return spring. Cheers all, keep you posted.

cheers will try and sort something???

I know all about the shoddy release arm problem, thats why i told the last so called mechanic to put the one with the weld on it when he did the clutch. Obvious he didnt lol. Want to do it myself so i know its done properly this time. But havent got the space or an engine lift etc :(. May just...

Recomends for the most reliable long lasting clutch kit to go for please? Defender 300tdi 1997.

Aye thats my suspicion, same happened last time, clutch that was put in has only done about 25k so suspect the Release arm is on its way out as the "mechanic" most probably used the standard marshmallow arm the last time!! Anyone around Southampton/Pompey area that has the space and know how to...

yeah planning on doing both at the same time. just hoping its not the release arm thats gone!! Cheers.
