I have a set of genuine Timken bearings 607180/60781/60787, crush tube & shims, pinion seal etc to re-bearing the Salisbury if necessary however most of the wear actually appears to be between the planet sun & gears so I think it should be fixed first otherwise I think the knock will remain...

I've ordered a genuine cross pin & gear set , lets hope they do not turn out to be blue box at many times the price! Hopefully there's no damage to the carrier, hard to see anything until I separate it & examine the wear. Once I get parts, pull the halfshafts & remove the diff I'll update this...

Yeah, I watched that video on Youtube however mine is worse and most of the play is actually in the spider gears so am looking to replace those in order of preference (easiest cheapest first): the thrust washers, sun/planet gears and probably the cross pin. Once it is built up on bench I can...

Trying to sort my long list of faults I decided to investigate the cause of backlash in my 97 110 CSW (150k on the clock) rear drivetrain resulting in a pronounced clonk in rear axle on taking up drive. I've replaced worn A frame bushes which had crept to one side of both arms, the ball joint...

Hi I tested compression on my Series III 8:1 CR 2.25 Petrol before I removed it for overhaul and compression test was approx 145 psi evenly across all 4 bores when warmed up (smoking on cold start was an embarrassment at public gatherings & decontaminated the garage too) 7:1 would of course be...

Thanks for quick reply. If I understand you correctly you suggest the top ring at 020 (camshaft side), 2nd ring 180 (flywheel end), and oil control ring at other side of gudgeon pin from top ring ie other side to camshaft 340 deg. I know some people suggest 120 degree spacing, why are gaps on...

Hi Before someone asks,yes the oil hole on conrod is facing camshaft side but piston has no front orientation marking, only markings are: P25 PM15 020 ID 67. Mingdiesel:attention:

Hi On my S111 Lwt its like part of the bottom of the bulkhead. Can be removed if I drill out rivets, not much use in it's current oxidised condition & will break up if I play with it. Can't remember what it's like on a civvy S111 88. Cannot see it in civvy drawings/parts diagrams. Maybe the...

Hi Can anyone advise on part number or stockist of the transverse alloy section which supports front end of tub floor on 88 inch Series 111 Lightweight, appears to act as anode to outriggers & disintegrate where bolted together ie in front of rear wheels. This is alloy section just...

Following last post I have searched and found several rev counters suited to Alternator pick up sensor and most are adjustablke too (hopefully sufficient for me). Choice seems to be 52mm diameter 4000RPM or 8000RPM range alternatively 86mm 4000 and 8000RPM Here's a list of sources, haven't...

You guys are usually very helpfull so I'm going to ask similar question again in the vain hope that someone can offer constructive suggestions rather than just try to shoot me down. I have fitted a 200TDI (ex Disco Diesel) into my series 3 and want to fit a tacho which I'm sure lots of others...

What was the outcome? I am looking for new injectors or at least replacement nozzles and thought about 300TDI jobs. Mingdiesel

Oops, sorry wrong section, Disco boys will complain, they take all this stuff for granted!

Hi I just did a search for wheel arch liner and found this post. Was discussing this on another forum & decided to search for wheel arch liner to see if any I could modify to fit LR Series 111. How did you get on, did you find something suitable? My search is for series truck as you know...

Depends upon your electrical load & accessories, standard series Lucas 16ACR is 35-45A I think. if you require 65A then one from a 200TDI may be an upgrade option, should fit if body rotated (see Glencoyne's ) altho the electrical alternator connections are different from the plug it can be...

I saw a write up about cutting oil seal so it could be fitted without removing chrome ball/swivel housing. The cut was positioned at the top where least likely to leak. I guess this is a quick fix however the underlying cause of seal damage will have to be addressed sooner or later. This looks...
