I have to replace the steering lock, I'm guessing by drilling out the old shear bolt studs??? Anyone???:confused:

Just about to embark on a swivle housing renovation. I'm replacing all the bearings, seals and CV joint and upper swivle pin (as that's what's come in the kit). Any tips greatly received. Got haynes manual - looks like quite a long job.:confused:

I've just tracked my Disco (using the peice of string method) from slightly toe out to bang in line (ish). At the same time I corrected the front tyre pressures from 40 down to 30 psi. Test drive nearly scared the pants off me! Car will suddenly wander off violently and I can just about keep it...

Lots of oil all over the inner side of N/S front wheel dripping down around the swivle hub and all over the track rod end. Is there a seal there somewhere?:):confused:

I fitted new ball joints (one was completely knackered). Anyway, I counted the threads and put new ball joints on - but I've now got serious toe in and steering wheel is off centre. One of the ball joints was a bar steward to fit (had to help it on with a scaffold bar and lots of copper...

My Disco has just failed its MOT on Steering Locking Device insecure (2.2.C.1g). I've taken the plastic covers off and all I can see is that the lock barrel rotates through about 10 degrees when locked and the steering wheel is turned. Once unlocked the steering operates OK. The only thing...

Oil seal is narrower than the gap in the casing. should it be pushed in as far as it will go - or be just flush to the outer casing? Anyone??:confused:

Hi, I'm replaceing TB front bearing (Box in situ). Mr Haynes says EP80/90 for TB - but does not tell me how much - I'm guessing about 2 Lt? Also book says gearbox (Manual) uses ATF!!! Surely should be MTF??? Again, no ref to capacity of gearbox. Lots?? Also, the old TB bearing was completely...

Front transfer box bearing is firmly stuck. I'm trying to shift it with a slide hammer attached to the shaft as per the excellent busterbus guide. The bearing has failed big time - totally dry, half the balls have dropped back out of the race and no matter how much hammering it just won't shift...

I must be really dumb! I'm trying to get the front prop shaft off (rear end) but the nuts and bolts are in a right mess. I would have a better chance if I could rotate the shaft for better access. Will I have to get all 4 wheels off the ground to do this? Anyone??:confused:

Hi all, My Disco has started running rough and sluggish (a bit like a petrol engine with a fouled plug). Very lumpy tick over and white smoke. Slackened injector unions one by one, and each time running got rougher on each except number 2 - which displays frothing diesel. Removed very soggy...
