Who would have thought, well done for finding the problem.

Ask the stork to take it back.;)

Some of the old seal kits did both slave and master, on just did not need all the bits for the slave, like I said no guaranty.

The cylinder seals for your slave may well be STC 500090 from LR parts [ no guaranty] Do not pull the rod as can be a git to replace through the slave hole. To clean out the housing remove tunnel, gearstick and access plate and blast with an air...

Shure needs an inner wing to bolt that res to.

It's one of those modern plastic coil sprung things. A car of some sort. Probably got those fancy wind up windows and such like.

10 hour job on a lot of vauxhall cars, at £60 per hour. Makes a lot of vehicles beyond economic repair. It's one of the reasons I keep my Landrover.

That's what I thought, not happy as they are.

The modern made stats are often rubbish. Last year I had 3 replacements when original failed after many years. Number 1 did not work at all, 2 packed up after a month. Number 3 a new in the box original Waxstat still fine. If you want to know...

L R Center LRC2332 for a set of longer studs.

I think it was the first major job I did on a Landrover. Tried to pull away at a roundabout and lost all drive. Had the presence of mine to jam the yellow knob down to get moving and prevent an accident. Drove for a few months before I...

Having been involved with 4x4 trials have seen many a shaft/diff break including some of mine. Many moons ago with my series 2a I lost drive and later found I could not remove NS shaft. I had chained other end of axle to a shed stanchion and...

Synchros wear with use and age, but the boxes are always been of a design where a slower gear change than your normal car is required.

Try "Automobile-catalog" for info on your truck's specs. Western power one's usually have either large rear body's or hydraulic platform on them. So likely HD springs ect.

Yea I know that it is hard to measure and do it just by feel. The last time I replaced mines master I could not get it to bleed at all. Turned out the new master was gooie inside and at the first press piston stuck at the bottom though doubt it...

Have you checked the amount of free play the pushrod to master has? It is only a very small amount but if too much no brakes. No freeplay and brakes will stick on some.

HRC1924 Lists as a front hub for Discovery 2.

Some think grease will stay in if seals are iffy, but it is not the case. The one shot stuff when warmed up will leak like the gear oil when seals are bad. Is the oil system better? Series Landy's used it and so did the early coil spring ones...

You are correct Gear oil 80/90 is what mine uses being a 1990 model.

Renewing front shocks and spring pans on mine. All turret rings nuts came off with none broken [pays to oil them] One turret had a rotted out section, did not want to wait for a replacement so welded in a patch.

Proof enough. Mine will go through the shotblaster...proper cleanup and refit.

I used to think the same as @lynall above, However due to availability fitted alloy with plastic ends type some fifteen years ago and still good.

Thanks all! Very helpful - can’t name the shop it’s a local one not a chain so I’d be outing the locale of my lovely landy 🤪 the chap on the counter did tell the husband to “do his research” before buying the whole unit though, so at least he was...

Mines battered pan. Should have could have would have fitted diff guard. :D but sealed by welder.

For normal use standard rad is all you need for general use 200tdi. Have a close look at the little fins between the tubes. On an older rad they are often clogged or have rotted and are crumbling away. Things soon warm up then when working...

The same items is used to support the rear doors of coil spring models up to and including TD5s.

That above is not the dovetail, just the latch The Dovetail is as in @catmans's pic above, that one is badly out of line and will not do the job of preventing door moving up and down when shut. The brass tail is a cast shaped item that locates...

Corrected I am, pretty sure 89 One ten had the larger calipers but has been a long time. My 1990 Ninety has the also has the large calipers now as well as bit larger tires than original 205's

@tottot my 85 110 V8 had the Small callipers on. As the motors were built the same time as RRC they used the small ones. Was better as all the pads were the same size. Then the disco came out and same again,small callipers on some of these. I’m...

The fact that has no number along with narrow arm brackets, larger axle end caps, swivel housing style suggest it is the original axle. I fact it looks just like my 1990 one [which is original] with more rust. Not that bad though looks like it...
