So we had an mot end of the week. Decent sized list as you can see.. So everything on that list bar the oil leaks and chassis corrosion has been done over the Weekend lucked out with the upper ball joints on the hub. As it was rocki g but purely because they weren't tightened up. So got them...

So, hubs stripped and sensors checked... They where covered in buts of rust etc.. Cleaned the rust flakes off them. And the vehicle runs as normal. But now I have this to deal with. It's getting put on a machine tomorrow and any codes cleared etc. Will keep posted as to what the issue...

It Did not got it back yesterday morning... 15 faults that needed sorting sorting to pass... I've managed to get 9 boxed off yesterday... Guna box off all the ones need for pass and it had like 4 advisories so I've sorted 2 of them as well. I've got a project thread so I'll bang pics etc on...

It was a diff I fitted didn't swap axles. I have a disco one in my lock up ut all totally different. I have to swap out the upper ball joints on the axle on both sides this weekend so I'll take a look at the hubs and clean it all and the sensors make sure the wires arnt kinked or crushed or...

This is for the reply I had thought of doing that so will definitely do all that. Dont want to be buying parts on a whim.

Yea I have a few things I think it may fail on it was booked anyway so figured I'd get the list of fails and work through them. Been doing non stop research into what could be causing it, there's a few things so guna just go through them one by one. someone on here recommended stripping hubs...

Yea I reckon the centre will take a beating, And something is bound to get damaged. I'll give that a try today. When it's back from MOT, if it is the wrong diff I'll have to get it sorted one way or another. I have read that D1, D2, and RRC from 93 onwards are the same.. Providing they are the...

Anyway of telling on the exterior of the diff if its the right one? Like any numbers stamped on it or anything?

Welding done, and undersealed... Fuel tank back in. All Connected and working. Found some rust in the back. The tie downs where completely seized so lifted carpet cut them out... Grinded the rust away etc and slapped some red oxide and metal paint in top MOT result tomorrow so will see...

If it is I was miss sold it . I have a disco 1 but from what I've read diff are different. If that's the case I'll just have to get another one or rebuild the one I took out.

Thanks for the reply. My mechanic is really good he does have diagnostics aswell.. It goes for an MOT today I've told about the issue. She's mainly in to see what work needs doing. Don't expect her to pass first time. I have a spare wheel that's brand new I can swap that over no problem. I'll...

There amigos don't come on. I get the handbrake (!)symbol and traction control when the traction Control kicks in. On rear tyre is more worn then the rest... Is the traction control that sensitive on these? The rear bearing where it attaches to the prop was shot on the old diff

Hi all, As the title suggests... Swapped the front diff for a rebuilt one in my GF's D2 and now if I accelerate too much it kicks traction control in.. Same if I turn a corner.. Etc can get over 20moh without it kicking. My thoughts are hub sensor/s arnt working properly or are mucky... Diff...

Been a busy busy few months. Finaly got some work done on the disco today. One of the back chassis legs had been replaced by the previous owner. Plan is to get a Galvanised Rear 1/4 Chassis. But until then I thought I'd get a chassis repair kit...cut the rot out, reinforce inside the chassis...

I've been using a Clarke 151En for like 15 years on various projects mainly Landys. Learnt to weld with flux core which was fun. Alot of my projects have all been outside so flux core was handy. Ran it on full size gas bottles with a reg kit etc.. welded really well was ideal for chassis work...

After a spout of covid and usual Xmas busyness and having to catch up after covid finally got chance to work on "Hetty". The job was unfortunately cut short as had plans this afternoon. But progress is still progress no matter how small haha. So started to take the wings off to investigate the...
