You don’t hang around ☺️ at least you have new springs then all around

Forgot to mention you can also check the free camber and compare with spec in handbook My new rear springs were quite close to what they should have been before fitting

Fairly easy to check, and clean up and put back together

The hanger bolt centres on mine is 90mm with a 12mm gap before spring hits chassis, Note the angle of the dangle on mine it’s much more vertical than your hanger To me it suggests a weakened spring, think I counted 11 leaves on yours as it should be but are they all intact of one or more...

Shouldn’t have thought you could fit them wrong way round , did you say you had fitted new springs Can you post a pic of the whole spring I’ll measure my hanger lengths tomorrow, I have an 88 diesel,, should be 11 leaves with 9 leaves just on the petrol

My fave too, when I went there to collect a new axle 3 years ago they mentioned they were looking to keeping it open but we’re a bit cagey on saying too much at that time Great that they’re still open and hopefully continue

Not done mine before but looks like the cable stays where it is after you remove nut numbered 5 If you want drive cable out you need up to do the following actions

too late now but fixing the oil pressure light should have been at top of list 😨. Should be able to check main and con rod bearings with sump off on a still day See manual and parts book here http://smithies.co.nz/land_rover/ Is it a 3 or 5 mb engine Was there much oil in when you drained...

There’s some additional parts too here http://smithies.co.nz/land_rover/

good one, dont forget to clear the axle breathers which can force oil past seals if they pressurise

When you fitted the seal was it set proud of diff casing or inside it, I’ve not been further than replacing seals and flanges on mine

That’s a downer, did you look at the cam lobes and followers for flat spots when it was stripped that could be quite noisy , has it got some side covers you can remove to look at some of the lobes,
