Great stuff gents, thanks I was thinking more open-wallet surgery was required Gordy

Hi All, Anyone have a clue as to the whirring noise i get from the front over bumps? ie a bad pothole or dropping off a kerb when parked type of thing. Disco 2, slabs ace etc I was wondering is an anti roll bar actuator beginning to play up thanks

Did they get special Discos with 5 reverse gears and one forward?:flame2:

Try a delphi 105 amp hour There was one in my TD5 when i bought it, its still there, and the previous owner has marked it 'Fitted by Kieth Gott, May 2005' 8 yrs from a battery is pretty good

Are those the famous Solihull diesel Flies?

Get under it and poke and prod with a screwdriver Boot floor above rear axle may be gone, take a torch, even if it is, its not the nightmare you might think to replace, the floor panel's only about 70 quid, takes a few hours to do, most people do the A frame BJ at the same time Apart from...

Sounds mega dear actually A fully rebuilt Transfer box is about 500 quid, 30 of oil and 3 hours labour max to fit Hes well paid at a grand

I had the wheels balanced and tracking done as a matter of course I know its easy to overlook this, but what with the price of decent tyres now 20 or 30 quid on tracking seems good value Ive just received a replacement, i had to buy it, so the old one can be returned to britpart, be...

Change the oil every 20k. Mine was a bit brown when i got it, took a couple of changed to thin it out as you never get all the oil out. Buy a big metal syringe, they're about the size of a grease gun, makes getting the oil in a doddle, As for special tools, a couple of hex sockets are...

I replaced the draglink on my D2 with a britpart one in January My steering has got sloppy and i have found serious wear in both ball joints on the draglink 2 months, and less than 1500 miles, and its hanging apart Has anyone else had similar problems with these units? Or have i just got...

Regarding de-catting Looks like this will be a fail, however, it is easy to do without it showing When i did my D1, i removed the front pipe, used a slicing disc in the grinder, cut 3 sides of a rectangle, smashed out the gubbins, and welded up the slice. Easy I'm in Northern Ireland...

Coming with a rear height control fob would suggest a fair bit of towing too. Its in Perth, lots of ice and salt on the roads up there, so the rear chassis could be doubtful too As someone else has said, a third party would be a help, as at 88k, there will be a few expensive fixes coming...

Mine were leaking a bit too, i sealed round the outside with Black silicone Its a bodge, I know, but will keep some of the damp out till we get some decect weather, and then i'll do it properly cheers

Very clever stuff Well done:5bhurray:

Yes Mark, Thats makes sense to me, 1 mm play in 4 joints is 4mm overall cheers

Have just done the front ball joints on my D2 What a huge difference in steering!!, it now goes where i want it to, more or less! Funny thing was, althought there was a fair bit of wear, ive seen them far worse on cars, but with less effect As for doing them, i seemed to have been...

Exhaust manifold gasket?

Looks really well. I have a big roll of carbon effect sticky vinyl, and slightly stained woodwork, so i'll give it a go this weekend Thanks for posting

If you do need to 'stall' it Pull the bonnet, and block the air feed to the air filter box some way, a rag or similar, or even do the same at the air flow meter, which is easier to get at Starving an engine of air will stop it ok cheers

No, Ball joints, although obviously they allow the hub to swivel too! The set up is different to a Disco1, D2 has a ball joint pressed into the axle, not a shimmable (and sensible) set-up like the D1
