Hi Gang, After 1338 days and 114.000km we finally arrived back at our starting point, weary and homeless but chock-a-block full with amazing experiences and about 20.000 photos. On the home stretch from Spain while starting out in 1st gear it popped out making an awful racket I thought at...

Hi again, So we are in Montevideo 4 days away from packing our landy in a container to ship to Europe after 3.5 years on the road and I think the rear diff just went tits up.. was turning a corner heard and felt a popping sound from the rear and lost all forward drive, upon attempting to drive...

Hi All, So I replaced my UJ made alignment marks on both mating surfaces, and on the yokes, but failed to make a mark for the grease nipple so am not sure i pUT it in the right location. Put it all back together and went on a test run even had it up to 120 km/h (downhill with tail wind) and am...

Hi guy's, Been a while... my wife and I are in Patagonia now after over 1000 days on the road and after many thousand kms on dirt and gravel we have been driving on paved roads for long stretches at which point I noticed this strange behavior. I am pretty sure I know what it is but figured a...

Hi all, Well I replaced my timing belt and the motor ran smooth as ever, but as we were driving from a beach in Costa Rica to our next destination I suddenly noticed a stage noise that I cpoldnonly attribute to the timing belt slapping in the housing. On our way to a service station the engine...

Hi guys, Changed the timing belt and noticed that the cam mark was slightly out. I put it all back together with the marks as they were (looks like one tooth out) and now there appears to be a rattle/knock noise that comes and goes. It's more prominent when the motor is cold once run a bit it...

Hi there, We just finished calibrating the valve clearances and I ran the engine warm to see if I had any leaks on the valve cover. I pushed the throttle a bit to engage the turbo a few times and was pleased to see that I had put everything back together correctly. After turning the motor off...
