Thanks for all replies, I have so far ordered up the following: New ignition switch - sounds fairly easy to change over, although never done it before Timer relay from a disco - will wire up in same manor as intended, so the dash light will go out when ready Replacement wiring to link plugs -...

Morning all, I recently did a 300tdi conversion from a 2.5na, all went well as I connected a single glowplug to the original brown cable (used on the 2.5na) Anyway, its been chugging when started from cold with a bit of smoke - so thought id connect up the other glow plugs and see if it got...

Thanks for the advice, I originally thought I had dropped a needle roller but have now confirmed the rear prop is a different bearing size to the front Fronts - 82mm Rears - 75mm So a prop has been changed over the years - I shouldn't have been so presumptuous in the first place I guess... Chris

Hi All, Ive bought a full set of UJ's for each prop, I bought GKN products (so no cheap rubbish) Front is fully rebuilt but the rear is a different matter... Although they press in, they appear too long as (is flush with the outside of the housing and no chance of getting the clip in I didn't...

Or can I squirt one shot grease after all the oil has dripped out (most of it has). Seems to be quite a popular temp fix?

Afternoon all, My steering box is leaking fluid all over the place (Non PAS), I figure instead of repair I could upgrade.. Will a setup from a 200tdi Disco be a straight swap or is the pump completely different? Im running the original 2.5td 19j engine (dont laugh) Thanks Chris

Just having a poke around online and it appears the "F" suffix was the first year of production to have the cross drilled input (helps me date it anyway,around 1995) http://www.landroveraddict.com/forums/thread.cfm?threadID=55023 Many thanks

Yeah I've just had a look, the website describes how to check (first two numbers and last letter) - this makes mine a 28F.. There is no mention of that kind anywhere??

Hi All, I have the following serial number from a Disco Transfer Box - 28D470632F I've searched around and it seems it will go straight onto my LT77 gearobx, but I was hoping to identify its age from the serial number - has anyone got an ideas? The speedo connector looks a bit different but...

Hi all, done most jobs on the landy but never the rear hubs... Anyway I topped up the rear diff last night, and after a drive this morning I notice both hubs are leaking oil onto the wheels - assume it's not much of a job to replace the seals?? More concerning is, I noticed what appears to...

Anyone know? Cheers

Hi all, I have a 1986 landrover 90 and I need to fit a towbar. o Does anyone knowing they're all the same or did they change at td5 etc? Thanks

I've got a decent set of 265 / 70 / 16 Recip Mud terrains that are less aggressive - im looking for more aggression! Cheers

I hadn't fully tightened the two bolts down and didn't realise it would "lift" the hub and lower taper bearing into place All appears well even though I feel a bit stupid... Thanks for your help though :)

Please ignore, I was being a dohnut...

Ugh this is driving me nuts?! I've put new bushes and bearings along with new pins. When rebuilding the hub, the top pin won't tighten up, even with all the shims there is loads of play - without any shims there is a gap that I can't close? surely I'm missing something? There is a new fabric...

Started work on this last night, got it all stripped out and found 1/2 inch of compacted sand / grit in the bottom of the hub?! How that / how long that has been there is anyone's guess - for sure that's why my bearings had failed... Hoping to build it all back up tonight and test drive :)

All parts and tools ordered up - hopefully will have it sorted on Wednesday night (at least one side anyway) Thanks for your help Chris

Cheers guys, got plenty of spanners, sockets and a set or torq sockets, do I need anything else special (have ordered the 52mm) Cheers

Quick update, X2 complete rebuild kits (including new balls) ohh err, have been ordered. Guessing I also need to locate a box spanner for the bearing nut? Anyone know the right size? Cheers
