lol, i know what you ment. It was pointed out to me in MOT. rotate the wheel and there is a rumbling noise apparantly coming from the inner edge, might be diff or axle. no play in wheel even when barred. I've put a 200 axle on a 300 truck, the axle had been sitting aroung for a few months...

i'll give the fluid a go first. I still have the old axle with diff and half shafts.

thanks, is it a massive or expensive job to replace the bearings if they end up going?

I changed the front axle on my disco, its a 200 on a 300, but it fits. There is a rumbling noise, a land rover trained bod at the garage i took it to said "it's definately coming from the drivers side near the diff, check the fluid in the diff" Now there is no play in the wheel, I checked...

it wasn't done on rollers, and you can't stall an auto lol. I took it to another tester who knows about landrovers and doesn't use a decelerometer, he said it's not great, but it works. Said to take the drum off and check for oil on the shoes.

ok then, £100 posted

ended up swapping the axle over lol. Upon inspection the swivel ball would've had to come out anyway, the bearings weren't just worn, they'd collapsed and jamed up the the whole.

got offered one for £500, frontera parts are no longer available and i needed the boot height to set up a comms/repeater station in for RAYNET work.

Just pondering... How does an MOT tester test a Disco Handbrake? When i bought my disco it had already been tested and failed. One of the failures was "Handbrake efficiency below standard: 14%" just wondering how they test is, I've pulled the HB on and revved the car in drive (for i have an...

Damn right, if they don't have a legal claim to the vehicle then they should not be selling it. :boink:

Much abliged. I use google alot, but "stupid lock clippy thing" wouldn't have been much of a search. It is number 9.

what's the proper name for those stupid little clips that hold the internal door mechanism rodding in place and can you still get them new? ta Dave

Friday, nothing at all apart wait for spares to arrive while it rained, Yesterday however, something fell off and i'm not sure how important it is... :rolleyes: and before anyone says anything... yes the "tramp stamp" sticker on the bonnet is coming off...

Depends on the alternator. Mine reads 14.4v when charging (engine running) and 12ish v when not. When charging anything between 13.6v and 14.5v is ok, above and its overcharging, less and its undercharging. When off 12v is ok, below and possible battery issue. It might read above if you've...

I had an almost incident a few years back. Bought a car with a blown engine, replaced engine then a few weeks later a loan company claimed ownership as it had £1000 outstanding finance. I disputed it and eventually a tow truck turned up. I blocked my driveway and informed them they could take...

is/was it a 5 or 7 seater? What colour is the interior?

in all fairness, i took mine to Jersey and back and it was fine. I did loose a clutch, but that was just age. Never had any serious issues, but if you plan to either field plod or tow, don't bother with an MPI.

NO... for gods sake NO! I owned one, off road they're rubbish, fuel economy is rubbish. Driving long distances though, fantastic.

I spend alot of time on the road in town, and a fair amount next to the road broken down but thats an occupational hazzard of being a bus driver, but i digress. Around here so far I've seen a PINK beetle (new shape), a lime green BMW 0.5 (i believe they reused the "mini" name) and a PINK...
