2002 TD5 - 118500 miles - last owner had it for ten years, he got it with 4000 miles on it. Some stamped service history, rest was done by garage and owner 'forgot' to have it stamped, suspect it hasnt seen a proper mechanic for a few years as it has few signs of neglect such as brakes nearing...

You've removed ACE? If so, have you replaced the ACE bars with standard anti roll bars? Think you mean you've gone from SLS air bags to springs though?

Dude find a 'fasteners' shop near you. I found one on an industrial estate a few miles from me. I walked in with the old nut and walked out with a new un, 50p, life saved!

That'll do for me

Nope not ignoring you, thanks for your input! My thoughts were, i hadnt had the ignition on since the day before, over 12 hours?

Im not convinced its the air bags. Its been fine all day, fully loaded with tools, driven 100 miles and then left with ignition off for five hours, then driven home... No deflation. The compressor is only cutting in when first started or for a few seconds rarely during the journey. Everything...

Ive got it off. Not ideal, but i put the nut on the thread and tapped it a few times on the side of the nut and off it popped. Bloody thing, it was a pig, but when i look inside the taper i can see why, its very corroded, mainly because the collect nut has a slit in it that lets in moisture to...

Ah yes i see now. As for picture, no idea why its side ways on! Isnt that way on the original lol

I want to remove the steering knuckle on my td5 disco. Top ball joint is loose, but cant get the bottom to give in. Ive noticed on rave it says to remove the collect tension nut on bottom, but other people say not to and just hit it with hammer and it should break the taper? Can someone please...

I have the top one loose, but bottom one being stubborn. Ive soaked it in penetrating oil and left it til the morning when i will resume my hammering

I admit, this job wasnt my finest hour. But now i need to put it right.
