TorqueTrak 10K telemetry instrument. Binsfeld Engineering. Here we go fellas, to put this to bed once and for all??? This little baby if attached to your rear proshaft, between the IRD and VCU will tell you how much strain is on the shaft as a result of a gammy vcu. Any excessive force would...

As above, done mine few weeks ago, have replacement clamp, rubbers and some sealant available before you start. I had to hacksaw my old clamp off too.

Made a h6ge difference to the feel of mine when changed at 110K. I though before that it drove well but as DTO says, it was the condition of my VCU support bearings that worried me more so decided just to get it all done.

Binaryfinary sorry if I missed part about you already tightening. Its always better havingtime away from these things anyway. When it happened to me I stopped for a cuppa and to clean my bleeding knucklesthen went back out and got it right away. Make sure 15mm spanner is properly located and...

Exactly how long you had it? May sound daft but has previous owner put petrol in by mistake and tried to dillute it down or is your fuel contaminated with something else? Have you filled her up? May be worth trying a complete fuel drain.

****e I might have accidentally deleted the post, but anyhoo, what you were doing with the 15mm spanner is right. Get the 15mm on the back and hold it securely, then get the spanner on the 24mm bolt on the pulley face and tighten, ( anti clockwise if I remember right) and keep going until its...

This sounds like exactly the same fault I had and seems to be common. Your tensioner bolt will have started to come loose and when you attempt to release thetensioner spring the whole thing is turning. You need to get a spanner on the back of the tensioner pulley to hold it while you turn the...

Steering wheel shaking could normally be put down to wheel balancing but when you talk about this growling it may be that you have a knackered wheel bearing/hub which can get to be quite noisy at motorway speeds. Sorry I misunderstood your earlier post when you said the thudding from rear was...

Sounds like boost modulator favourite. Id have gone for wastegate spindle stuck if not for the "sudden" failure but it does sound like something in this area. Possibly even just a failed vac hose or connection.

The groaning is quite likely to be the ACE system and not the power steering. Mine has groaned for years despite checking all pipes isolatdd from chassis, changing fluid and eventually a new pump...no difference and I now just live with the groaning at low revs and low speed cornering. PAS pump...

Yeh pretty dirty mate, how long since last change? No doubt your broken bolts letting crap in where it shouldnt be getting in to some extent.

I would be looking at vcu too mate. As far as Im aware, the tippex test means quite literally putting a line of tippex across the vcu and prop shafts, to prove that when driving, the vcu actually slips and is not seized. To be honest I cant see this test as conclusive. If your vehicle has done...

I used this seller some time ago......the item location will be inaccurate as I can almost guarantee it will be shipped from Romania. This caused me a problem as I had already booked garage and time off based on their fast delivery option.....which was a bit of a con as wouldnt have been...

Exactly the same thing on mine, even to the point where I discovered it when checking number plate light. I was planning a soft repair and think im going to stick with that. If necessary add strength with a plate behind, hopefully accessible with inner lining removed, held on by the handle bolts...

Yep most already mentioned Chassis, rear around fuel tank seems most prone to rust When turning ignition on, keep door open to listen for noisy fuel pump. Clutch- listen for whurring from spigot bush of clutch release bearing as you depress the clutch and on test drive, push her hard for a short...

Haha, what a thread.....yeah I accept that and untreated chassis might fare better in a less wet and salty environment but how about comparing a central area of scotland to a coastal town in the south of England...with nice salty air?? Then when you condsider all the different chassis treatments...

Your symptoms are classic of crank pulley however play in any pulley is obviously undesirable. How much play in the ace pulley are we talking? Enough to cause such a horrible noise....with this being one of the most accessible i would have thought it would be easy to check with engine running...

Sounds like you need a land rover specialist. As Thor1950 says, sounds like grasping at straws, trial and error on replacing parts rather than investigating the cause. Throwing parts at these motors is an expensive game.

As you probably realized the rubber base is a gasket to prevent water getting in under the ariel mount and into the roof lining. I would have expected a new mount to be supplied with a gasket and would query it with supplier. If you cant get one, some careful application of black silicone around...

Yep....im goin to keep mine as long as possible and if it has to go for any reason, I will be looking for another, fantastic vehicles. Before I got mine I would change my car every year,2 years at most....had my disco 2 now for 5 years.
