Reply to an old thread - but for future reference, I just wanted to mention the screw holding the ignition barrel, is down inside the shear bolt hole nearest the barrel (200tdi Disco, well mine anyway) I haven't seen this mentioned around the web. Once the screw is loosened the barrel should...

Well, an update on removing the plastic coating on the splines. As a short term fix it's great. But that's the shaft banjoed now. So I got a good few months out of it. Then it deteriorated rapidly . Got to strip out immediately, it's gambling too much on transferring vibration to either end and...

Ta for that Lynall! That's the very tool! Of all the imperial and metric kicking around my toolbag - 9/16 wasn't there (every other bloody size) will be purchasing the propshaft tool and replacing nuts. (and throwing some more sockets n spanners in my bag!) As for the question about which way...

Had similar problem doing emergency swap out with banjoed UJ on spline shaft. Although regularly greased, I still had to batter utter buggery out of the old one with Landy tool #1 - just to get it out. I had to do the same to the donor shaft. Not great considering I was hammering next to the...

Get your springs here. Also search on e-bay (same guy) http://disco-compatible-parts.com/springs.html For workshop manual try this complete .pdf 14mb LAND ROVER MANUALS DOWNLOAD (But you don't need to dismantle the rear handle assembly) Get the mech and linkages apart and follow the...

LOL ! :D Yep, Gun it ! Helps if you have an enormous v8 petrol engine by the sound of it !

Good links to the Michelin site from Widget. Concise and to the point. I'd take a little issue with always using L1 for a descent and never use the clutch. It's a tricky one. In UK we're inavariably encountering wet/muddy slopes. So the danger of sliding or the back end coming round is...

Traversing a slope. (with no defined road or track) IMHO the single trickiest and most dangerous manoeuvre you'll ever encounter. Advice to beginners. DON'T Go down if you can, go along, come back up the slope. Go watch some off road trials, talk to a lot of people. Get as much info and...

Yeah OK, I ask for a slagging. But if it has good advice behind it I don't mind. That's what we're here for. I'm not going to burst out greetin' about it. I'm too long in the tooth for that. So - I think firing through muddy waterholes on your bellypan is risky, but it does sound helluva fun...

Thanks for getting on board guys (n dolls?) I'm glad some good tips are coming through :) I'm off at a tangent from tyres sorry.....a bit about tackling inclines : Some of this comes from my trials riding (not Trail, Enduro - Trials!) Not quite as relevant on the way up with a 4x4 but...

Yep fair do's - you probably are in danger of sitting on your Diff's if you cut down through the mud. I do like to check the depth of ruts before plowing into them for that reason. It's also a good reason to fit Diff guards/steeering guards as your very first customising job. Before the fancy...

Thanx guys - but cool your jets Gryffdowg etc ;) I'm only looking for tips and techniques to be posted. Don't jump to conclusions. Yeah I am in Scotland, and no I'm not so stupid as to go tearing up greenlanes. My practice area was a private offroad ****hole. Still, you did eventually put in...

I'm fairly new to this site, but I don't see any section on off road techniques. I see a lot of people looking for tips but being re-directed. So, unless I've missed something, here's my starter for ten: I've been riding trials motorcycles for a good while and needed a 4x4. Got given a 200tdi...
