I've just bought a little hand held Midland 42 and was picking up all sorts today ! Andy from Amsterdam on ch35 was one.

Hi, I think they are 14mm spline sockets, they were standard in my little halfords socket set. Try this link Replacing a Rear Hub - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum

I did this a recently and didn't find it too bad of a job, struggled seperating the disc and hub as they had rusted together but managed to beat it off with a hammer in the end

UPDATE: PASSED !!!!!!! Thanks to everyone........

It's a wonder he didn't fail it on my lifting dashboard ! lol

Ok, so all the work has been done and today I took it in for the retest ! Just as I indicated to pull into the test centre the off side indicators started to flash as though a bulb had blown, I checked the bulbs and they were all flashing. So I just left i with the MOT guy and didn't say...

well, I managed to fit the new rear discs and pads to the car without any major hassle, however when it came to doing the brake pipes / lines, I chickened out, It's now booked in to have new pipes fitted on Wednesday (£50) and the retest on Thursday.

Cheers guys, I've ordered all the parts, so should be able to get started Tuesday or Wednesday. I'll let you know how I get on regards Steve

Did you have to replace them all the way to the master cylinder ? Any tips for preventing fluid loss ?

The first fail was 3 pages long, Advisories included inner sills slightly corroded, steering box slight leak and rear tyres at legal limit. (The guy that did the welding said the inner sills were fine) I think if the first guy did the work he would have phoned to tell me the inner sills were...

Unfortunately the first MOT station would not give me a firm price on the work that needed doing, at first it was £150 for the welding with me supplying the parts it then rose to £200 ish, I was having trouble getting the bolts off the rear droplinks so asked if he could do it and he wanted...

Hi, My 1995 300 tdi failed it's mot a few weeks ago on the usual outer sills / rear drop links and the exhaust. Today after finally getting the work done I put it in at a different MOT station and it failed on the front brake pipes and a corroded rear disc (neither were mentioned on the...

Can you see where the oil is leaking from ? Check the rocker cover gasket, clean the breather hoses, change the fuel filter (All easy to do). If you think the engine is on it's last legs have a compression test done

Well I went to drop the car off today but hte guy wouldn't give me a definate price, he said it all depends on whats left to weld to when he grinds off the sill ? So I decided to take my car else where, another garage has said they will weld on the sill repair panels for £100 leaving me to...

lol..... The problem i've got is this garage is the one which did the mot, the outer sills he said he would weld on for me for £150 if i got the parts, and would only retest on the fail points. But I get the feeling that come Monday afternoon i'll get a phone call upping the price due to...

Hi, thanks for the reply i'm going to give it a go in the morning, in a previous thread someone suggested using a couple of pairs of mole grips to hold the bracket whilst grinding

Hi, It's the bracket that sits at the end of the downpipe, theres another bracket on the middle box, both of these bolt together to clamp the sections. Unfortunately the bracket on the downpipe has the studs built in, on mine these have sheared and the bracket does not come off over the...

Hi, after looking around I found this : repair/replace exhaust flange on catalytic converter (91 ford truck): Install one flange over the pipe and then slide the other half over the pipe. - Instructables - DIY, How To, ride Do you think this would work ?

(1995 300tdi) Hi does anyone know if the exhaust clamp on the downpipe is replaceable ? I managed to shear the bolts whilst trying to undo the exhaust. Is there an alternative that I can fit without having to remove the downpipe any help would be much appreciated regards Steve
