over the last couple of days ive noticed a problem occurring randomly. I get in the car, turn the key, all the dash lights come on ....... then turn the key to start and nothing !!! sometimes if I keep the key turned, it then comes to life and fires up. sometimes I have to switch off and on...

Had a quick look in haynes last night about changing wishbones It talks about removing hub nuts and calipers etc etc - having looked under the car, cant really see why all that is necessary ???? Chris

Darmain At least you know what it is now !!! Noticed some of the sellers on ebay are listing a "modified" or "improved" bracket !! Not sure how its improved or if its just a selling point !! Chris

Not physically checked for play yet but looking at the joint and comparing it to a pic you posted on another thread, they seem to be well collapsed - and the clunking im getting seems to point to that ball joint - I hope !!!

Is it straight forward ? Any pitfalls to look out for ?

Thanks for the reply Was intending to just grind em off !! Is it just as easy to change whole wishbone ? Chris

well fitting the new anti roll bar links didnt cure my clunk on lefthand corners - time to fit new wishbones Any tips on this job or is it as straight forward as it seems ?? thanks Chris Or can I just change the ball joints ???

Darmain Ill try to get some pics - when Im home in daylight !!! Basically below is a list of what I did - not sure which bit helped - but seems to be ok for now . Removed air filter box etc to get a better view. Removed C clip pulled slave out of way. Manually moved arm that comes...

Ill check the routing of mine - I know mine has been changed and I know its not gen LR Still touching wood and its still working !!!

any joy ??

Darmain You have any luck with the clutch ?? Im still touching wood and mines still ok !!! Chris

No - wing and bumper do not need to be undone. Its a bit of a fiddle but they will come out - I used a large screwdriver to slightly bend the top face of the bumper to allow the bottom nut to clear Chris

Been trying to think back to when this started ..... Its been doing this since I changed the glow plugs !! nothing to do with that you might think ........ well while I was doing the glow plugs I noticed that the clutch line wasnt in one of its clips (righthand side of engine bay as you look...

Thanks for the replies New pump and grommet it is !!! Yes the outlets are brittle - thats why I need a new one !!!

Well got in the car this morning to come to work......... gear change is perfect !!!!! wierd !!!! Chris

well it hasnt fixed my clutch but brilliant explaination !!!! suppose it depends on how worn your clutch is but at rest how much of the slave piston should be visible - if I have more than average then it would suggest that the lever from the bell isnt returning sufficiently ?? Chris

bracket doesnt seem to flex and pedal operation is smooth and doesnt require lots of effort !!! will try the wd40 though !!! strange that taking off slave and refitting at least gave me some gears (even though they are still difficult ) suppose other than the wd40, new slave and master is...

Just to add a little more info ...... with engine off all gears can be engaged. If I select a gear then start car i can drive off as usual If clutch wasnt releasing would car not jump forward when i start it in gear ?? excuse my ignorance< i know nothing about clutches !!!! Chris

Darmain yes - grating when going for reverse Its an L series so master and slave changed together Unfortunately the garage that did it has gone bust disconnected slave end and noticed a piece of plastic seems to have snapped of the locating plate - not sure what effect that would...

further to my earlier post "gearchange" - the problem has now got worse. got in car this morning drove to petrol station with no problem - arrived at forecourt and couldnt select any gear !! If I turn car off it will then go into gear and start ok - I can then drive throught the gears...
