yes definitely an improvement on the first one which was more of a fun car as I didnt need a daily back then but I thought its a good idea to get a tidy one this time if its going to be my daily for the winter. HAHAHA! Thank you. Yes the colour of my first one was not to everyones taste...

Hi, I havent been on here for a while now but I want to get back into Landrovers again. 3 years ago I bought a 200tdi fully done up 200tdi for 1250, I broke the rear diff within 10 hours of owning. Problem was that I lost all drive through this because the guy I bought it off forgot to mention...

cheers, good idea i ll check it with the inside caliper now. why are they metric when all the other bolts on the landy are imperial?

Hi, I lost the bolts for the steering damper where it bolts on to the front diff on my disco. I ve looked everywhere and cant find them anymore. Does anyone know what size they are so I can go and get some new ones. Cheers Sebastian

luckily the union wasn't seized and i got the brake lines off alright. just gave them to a mate at lunchtime who is making me some new ones by tomorrow so it should be all fixed by then

the emery tape worked well on one piston. i managed to push the other piston back by screwing the caliper back on and pushing it back in with a crow bar. but here is the next problem, the brake line had a pretty bad kink in it and when we put the caliper back on the brake line cracked. so...

cool i ll try the emery tape now.

yeah, i ve taken cap off the reservoir. the problem is that i cant get a g-clamp or my piston-rewind tool in there because it is a double piston caliper.

I ve just done the rear wheelbearing and the pads were well worn so i got some new ones. problem is that i cant get the pistons to go back in far enough to get the pads in. i ve got a brake piston rewind tool but that doesnt help much as they have got a piston each side on my 200tdi. i ve been...

I managed to get it out of diff lock, wooop wooop. i was just about to take the front prop shaft off, when i saw that the bottom of the transfer box lever was unhooked. hooked it back on and it works fine. I take it the front cv-joint was already gone when i bought it, then it was put in...

as suspected, its still in difflock even though the the little gear lever is in high range and not difflock and i reversed it for 400meters. what do i have to do so that it comes out off difflock?

Hey guys, I got it fixed now. I changed the rear diff, the offside front hub unit and the half shaft. filled it all up with oil and its all driving again. Luckily it only cost me 60quid in parts so I am happy. I know the alarm bells were ringing when I signed the "sold as seen", but I have put...

turns out the cv joint at the front was absolutely mashed and rounded of the half shaft. luckily dollydisco came to have a look at it tonight and we should be getting s replacement diff and a complete hub unit tomorrow afternoon so it could be up and running by tomorrow night. woop woop

big thanks to dollydisco for coming around and having a look at my landy and thanks for fixing my golf while you were here. removed the rear diff last night to find this: and then i picked these out of the axle body: so today I am off to the scrapyard to get some new diffs. also ordered...

I know, but that would be one more trouble off my mind and then I wouldn't have to get up early to put a fecking temporary permit in it every morning.

That would be awesome! I live in is where its parked on because its too wide to fit down the driveway.

also, when in neutral the propshafts are spinning, but you can stop it by grabbing the shaft with your hand, I assume thats just clutch drag as they dont spin when I dip the clutch.

I think its just the way I took the pic with my fone, the reflection of the sun in the oil on the shaft makes it look twist but when I inspected it, it looked totally fine.

I got a mate to lie under the rear and he was listening for noises from the diff but he said there were no noises coming from it when I was revving it up in 1st and both prop shafts were spinning.

Yes the half shafts were bolted back in when I rolled it back and forth.
