Ah I see. How might one acquire ones services?

Yep front wheel nuts loose. I expected more vibration. Cheap to fix though!

Hmm, that does nicely match all the symptoms:D. It aint got a boot:p

My first thought. Not a gnat's gonad in terms of play.

Solved it myself fortunately. But here were the symptoms (on a TD5 70K miles, 2" lift applied a few months/ thousand miles back)... About a week ago notice a faint knocking when moving. Over a few short journeys the noise got much louder. So much that as I arrrived at a garage to pick up...

Thanks all for the tips. Do I sense you have something up your sleeve MHM?:) Is there a way to split the connector and remove the rusted pin????:confused:

The connector to the reversing light lamp holder on my TD5 has rusted and busted (see pics)... 011 by tmh900, on Flickr 012 by tmh900, on Flickr The pin rusted off the lamp holder and stuck in the connector. I can get a new lamp holder (black part) from a dealer, but they can't supply...

No benefit in an adjustable rod I believe unless you have a suspension lift (as with a lift the chassis moves away from the axle and the unadjusted rod pulls the front axle sideways, so the front wheels stick out more one side than the other). The bigger the lift, the more you need to adjust...

iirc 305/70/16 and 8" wide steel mods which have an offset of about 6mm ish so don't think would need spacers

For anyone searching, now I'm armed (and dangerous) with the experience, here is a suggestion how (not) to do it... fit the pollybushes to either end of the rod (bloodyeck, there is something in Landy maintainance that is as easy as it should be) fit the adjustable eye into the rod and adjust...

My tyres are 315/70R17 (basically almost 35" diameter). The rims as 17" x 8.5" (with zero offset). The tyres in the pic you posted the link to look smaller (I'd say 33" diameter max and 285 width max). But still look good though:). When I was looking I found posts (with pics in gallery)...

Do you mean the blue(ish) 90 with the black 5 spoke wheels and tubular winch bumper? If so then... Them thar be silverline wheels 4x4 and SUV Aluminium Wheels / 4x4 and SUV Alloy Wheels from Silverline 4x4 and Hankook Dynapro MT tyres. Just fitted same (but diff size) to mine. They come...

OK, a bit of padding in the centre of the wheel to soften the blow. But deffo not a standard wheel for a 2003.

The steering wheel is from an older model - 2003 models have an air bag (why would they do that?).

I'm not sure its a 2003 model. Looks like there is a rear bulkhead, my 2003 has not got one (I am sure someone on here can confirm, but I think they stopped around 2000?). Would not buy from the pics - too low quality to assess condition.

Good result Slim Jim. So you were able to leave the cracked washer thing in place and it was just the bush it failed on?

Thanks Andy, I'll give that a go. Its a 'good' 2 inch lift - increase in height (body to floor) over the old springs being 3" in some cases. I need to move the axle about 5mm to the passender side to balance things up.

Anyone fitted such a beastie and can offer some advice please? Some questions: How do I centre the axle i.e. measure from where to where and how will I hold it there once centered? What veritcal position does the axle need to be in to fit (full weight of the car on it, lowered till it is...

I may be about to show my immense stupidity here... but do you mean the washer that almost surrounds the lower bush in this pic? ...well if you do then you can see the marks on this one where I spent 5 mins knocking the hell out of it with lump hammer & cold chisel to free it from the lower...
