Why is it that every time I remove a hub (rear wheel bearing) the inner race stays put and ends up stuck on the stub axle. Is this normal, how do you normally remove them. Last time I used a dremel but its an ass of a job and I dont want to fook up the stub axle.

Well they get fitted to 130's which must be a good 2 ton+ before ay load / towing. I really couldn't see it being as issue?

Don't worry he already said about selling them to fund some rock sliders.

Unless the V8 starts, then yes he will. It's dans and its a toy. Planing to transfer the suspension, wheels and snorkel off the v8, but won't have time to do before next weekend. He came round today and its immaculate. Don't mind saying I was a tad envious.

Could do with a recovery vehicle as it looks like we are going in a road spec (inc tyres) disco1. Can't get the V8 started :(

Anyone going to bures next weekend?

No sorry, Have a 300tdi which wants all the off road toys off this. Once thats done, its going to be broken for parts.

OH I hate eBay and the f-*&wits on it. But you just don't get the same level of interest when using eBid, Gumtree etc. I spent 15 mins on the phone to eBay yesterday getting some negative feedback removed and a final valuation fee refunded (non UK bidder, I only list for UK and then he...

When you are able, what about a day around Thetford? Those lanes were not to bumpy and they are within an hour. Could include some time near the airbase. I went past this week just as some jets were coming in. Very nice. You could always drive (or be driven) in a car and then jump in one of...

Or North Wales? I'm easy going. Happy to help with route planning if needed.

Count me in. Ditto. I love the lakes and they have some cracking lanes, but its a good hour & half on top of Wales.

Look like dan will have to get that comfy td5 dirty! :D

My truck will hopefully be roadworthy within a few weeks. Would be good to catch up with everyone. Good to hear from you John, if your up to it you are always welcome to do a few lanes in my old bone shaker.

Yes you are, buts its a 20 year old land rover, so research common faults / issues and don't let your heart rule your head. Find a 20 year old Disco without patches and you will find holes. Ask if they have photos of the repairs. Most folk take loads of photos before and after...

What is it doing wrong Chris? I had problems with my kickdown cable after the mud dried hard. Result wouldn't change gear until I hit valve popping revs.

Would love to but mine is off the road :-(

Yeah that should work. Did the same on my old disco.

I love that lane, done it in the summer and the views were stunning and in the snow which was fun.

I have one. It's going to P&P at the end of the month and then I will be starting to break it. 3.9 with single point LPG and three tanks. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f59/1995-3-9-v8-lpg-lifted-mts-232894.html

Couple of self tappers and keep a screwdriver to hand. But given its a land rover you really should use gaffa tape and or cable ties! Or you could try Velcro.
