ok update again, have tightened up steering box and feels a little better....still some slack in it but marginally improved. Truth will be when I do my 200km gravel road commute on thursday. Interestingly though I checked the swival preload acurately today with fish scale. (same scale I used...

Ok update I have checked vehicle. Forgot to mention earlier I have adjustable pan hard rod. Checked all associated components in suspension ,steering, axles (all should be fine as all replaced in past 12 months anyways). Only thing I can find any play in is steering box, its fine center but at...

Hi so I am having trouble diagnosing a problem that has rescently began to appear. As the snow has melted on teh roads I have noticed that I appear to be getting a violent feedback on the steering wheel when I go over some potholes whilst cornering. It seams to be you feel the bump (which is...

Hi I've just bought a arb locking diff off ebay. I have a single arb diff and compressor set up allready. I need to buy the solenoid and switch ect to run my new diff on the front. Does anyone know if you can use the ashcroft components? They are way cheaper then arb, the arb solenoid is £80...

Hi Mathew2riches I'm not sure if this is how you contact someone directly normally but anyways a guy called gazdav suggested I contact you regards my rescent post in the disco section. Perhaps you can help or have experience? I was wondering two things firstly, can you replace a d1 chassis with...

Hi I have a couple of chassis related questions. Firstly I am considering replacing at some stage my chassis. I would like to get a galv unit. However I cannot find any new d1 galv chassis. I am aware I could by a used one and dip it but in Norway where I live you are not alloud to swap chassis...

Hi I just swaped my transmission for the later R380 and transfer. Was really worthwhile the annoying "clunk" when chaning gear has now gone, and the gearbox shifts way better. I allways suspected the clunk was the output shaft, so to check I jsut seperated the gearbox and transfer. Regards this...

Hi, does anyone know how to acurately adjust the panhard rod. I put longer springs on so also fitted an adjustable pan hard rod. I cant think of a way to acuratly adjust it, I've just been eyeing up the wheel and axle position trying to get it centre. Is there any better way to do this? Thanks Jim

Hi, quick question does anyone know if the LT230(transfer) is the same/ transferable between LT77 and R380. I notice the shift levers are slightly different but very simaler. Thanks Jim

Hi I need to correct the speedo reading to have my larger 235/85.16 tyres approved on my disco 1. As standard the disco is prepped with 29" tyres the afore mentioned is 32". I know you have to change the speedo drive gear to get an acurate reading. Does anyone know which colour or number of...

Hi all want peoples opinions. Just doing a gearbox swap, changing the LT77 to R380. When I was swapping the gearbox mounts removed the r380's twin mounts and replaced with the single lt77 mount. The problem occured when I accidently wound one of the wrong bolts into the mounting, I had a choice...

Hi does anyone know if you can reverse a 300tdi dashboard to convert from RHD to LHD. I plan to get a 300tdi RHD and use the body to transplant to a LHD 200tdi. Wondering if as well as the body what I can use from the interior as the later is favourable but not essential. Cheers jim

Hi Green Hornet a pretty valid point on the first glance. The reason I am asking is I have at present my pride and joy 200tdi, I intend to keep it for ever, not for 5 or 10 years but for ever, it will likely be my sons first car. So I want to buy a parts car to keep it going, that can be a 200...

Hi James Martin, thanks for the info on the 300's really usefull my last question is. Is it possible to change the engine mounts on the 300 engine so you can fit it on 200 chassis mounts? Like you can do with the r380 switching to lt77 mounts?

Hi James Martin what is the EDC regards engine, something to do with ECU? Obviously the 200tdi has no ecu, I thaught the 300's did? Cheers Jim

Hi Guys wondering about some possiblities. I'm considering buying a new body/parts car for my venerable friend. The body is aging so would be nice to fond one in good shape. I currently have a 200tdi disco, I think its no problem to put 3 or 5 door 200 or 300tdi body on the chassis, but what...

I'm wondering what people think about propshaft spacers. I am aware they are to alleviate binding of the yokes on the propshaft when a lift is fitted. Which propshaft do people usually put them on both? I have a 2" lifted suspension set up. I have had it for a year and have not knowingly had any...

ok well if the lhd bit confuses the issue (the only differeance is the swival pin housing). Will the 200tdi hub componants swival ball, swival pin housing, swivals, hub, brakes, bearings, cv's, ect (everything from the swival ball out) fit on a 300tdi halfshaft, diff and axle casing? Cheers Jim

Hi Guys I want to again draw upon the amazing knowledge that this forum brings together. I am doing a front axle rebuild I have a 10 spline, axle on a 92 200tdi disco 1 LHD, I wish to replace with a 24 spline 300tdi disco 1 axle from a RHD car. Obviously I will have to use the lhd swival pin...
