Looks proper pikey that one. Id definately do a vehicle check before going to see that.

Ah man i wish mine as the rear axle!

This was the issue. Just rebuilding as and when we have time. I have zero experience so am reliant on swift to do most work in between his other commitments.

The saga continues! Callipers were ****ed so another £200 and a quick run to lincoln today. Got back to find the wrong calliper in the correct box. I have 2 nearside callipers. No more in stock for 4 days. Cock.

It was pretty worn so hopefully it was that. We havent tried it yet as we still have the diff housing seal to replace, the prop is still off , axle needs re-filling, new brake pads need fitting and the wheels need to go on.

We are almost rebuilt. 220 odd quid later. :eek: If it could be difficult it has been and has taken us a lot more time than it should have but we are getting there. Had to chop the CV joint off the half shaft with a disc cutter, hubs were practically welded to the old discs and have had to...

I personallly found that pick up backs were cheaper than commercial type 90s when i was buying.

Yep all bolts out. Drivers side practically fell off so ive cable tied it on for now. James everything in the diff worked fine. Its sat on my garage floor atm. Ive trebled my knowledge on landies today but swift will have to answer owt to technical!:D

Stripped entire front axle. Prop off, diff out, half shafts out the lot. I now need alot of new bolts, nuts and gaskets! Replacing the disks and pads whilst is all out too.

The plot thickens! Having stripped the entire front axle down and checking the prop, diff, half shafts, CVs we still havent found the issue. We did find that the clutch master cylinder was dry, oops. Wondering now whether the landy jumped out of gear and i couldnt then get the gearbox to...

No pleasing some people! Will a bacon sarnie at lunch make amends?!

There's biscuits too! Picked up some chocolate digestives on the way home.;) Ive got to look after the workers! I thought that too. Im pretty sure dropping into the ford did me no favours either.

Monday night when i was broken down waiting for RAC i must have had 30 odd cars come past me including a police car. Only one person pulled over to check i was ok, a local guy ive passed in town before in a 110.

Worth a go putting the TDV6 in one.

Speak of the devil. 1st thing i did when i got home was check the tea bags;)

Going against the grain here but i like rioja red.

Have a mate coming over tomorrow. Plan is to strip front axle down, see whats wrecked, shoot down to Famous Four as its 15mins down the road, grab what we need and rebuild.

Dont scare me off just yet! Im still a noob lol

I had noticed this. In fairness i was prepared that it would be breaking down at some point. Just a shame its a biggy for the first one!
