I guess it's not an angular contact bearing then as there is only one bearing and is held against a shoulder on the sleeve by bending the tabs over. There is no way of adjusting the preload. I used to have an old Austin car with a plastic Bush for the top bearing so it's totally feesable and my...

Here some more photos

Hi James mate, That's the problem in having. Can't seem to find it anywhere............

I believe it's an angular contact bearing? If you look closely the inner race is closer to the outer race on one side. When it spins you can see it spins of centre. More importantly it came up as an advisory on its MOT for lateral movement on the steering wheel. That Delkin looks like a...

I did find this but they only want to sell in bulk to the trade. All there contacts are Hong Kong and such. Website is tradebearings It's off a Delphi steering column by the way

It's off a 2004 Fiat Punto steering column(top bearing) Main stealer don't sell it, only the whole complete column for £650+vat! You are right, it is French but I can't read the other stuff. Measured by a bearing specialist with a caliper thing. I will try and get a closer photo.

Here's some pics.

Thanks guys. I've tried those close to me and simply bearings. I'm told it's not a standard size bearing. Wonder if I could machine the sleeve by half a mm to make the 37 one fit?

Completely off topic this one but wondered if any one could help. Desperately frustrated now! I need a bearing but can't find the size. It seems to be like hen's teeth. Can anyone help!? Internal diameter 22mm External diameter 36mm Thickness can be 10, 11, 12 or 13mm. Thanks James

Pulling into a space and reversing out really winds me up too! Reversing into a main road is also illegal. As with the lights your looking at they don't say what they are. Fog or DRL's Front fogs need an illuminated switch and can only come on when lights come on. DRL's should be wired to come...

There's a surprise. I thought it would be something like that. Thanks though, you've saved me a few minutes looking

Yeah, that bottom fuse is the one I quite fancied myself already. Just need to measure the bolt on the battery terminal so I can get the correct crimp. Also I remember looking at the engine fuse box and seeing air conditioning with a fuse. Wondered if that might be spare as I don't have air...

Yes, I think you are right. The original fuse is missing and a bad repair was done without it. The wire had corroded badly unseen as it had been hidden in a fabric sleeve. This corrosion head made the wire a bit short. Besides, I've snipped it up to the battery and I wasn't happy having a live...

I had a quick look and found the relay on the back of the engine fuse box. Not even half a metre of wire needed. Can't find any fuse in the wire though. Maybe that's why my wire is joined and now broken. Wire of battery is brown. Then from break in wire it's brown with an orange tracer. I see...

Might be a silly question but here goes. The glow plug feed cable is broken about 3 inches from the battery. I assume a join will be okay. I was going to do a crimp. It looks like 6mm² wire. Where does the other end go to... Would it be viable to replace the whole run to the relay?

Thanks. I'm spent ages looking through the wiring diagrams but couldn't find it. My car has had a lot of people... Shall we say, adjust things over the years. So now time to see if the wire is still used for the glow plugs. It may have had another mod to compensate. Although judging by the blue...

That's great. Thank you. :)

Out of curiosity mate. While I was pottering I found a broken wire which judging by the green head been broken for a while. It comes straight of the battery and is quite thick. It's brown and orange. Do you have any clue what is for?

My alternator is dated 95 when the car was built and head land rover printed on it along with a part number. What makes you say it wasn't the one I've was built with? I already know what the sense terminal is I just wondered why it wasn't used as it is quite an important feature.

Mine is an A127i which has the internal regulator. The S terminal is on the regulator and the plastic rear cover has S marked for it and a push out blanking cover for it. I just wondered why it was redundant on the discovery 1 and if it could be used if I ran a wire from it to the battery...
