Bearings also on other side, also sone ingress of water and splines worn/corroded. Swivels also and ‘play in the diff’. All the bolts corroded and seized… I know that doesn’t make it an impossible job but.. when I made a wish list of all the parts to replace the price for a re-furb axle all...

So got it up to garage okay and now its up on stands. Calipers very corroded so they need changing as well as the disks, the other side is a bit wobbly so that all needs renewing and the swivels will need doing sooner or later… And the diff has always leaked a bit of oil… looks like a pretty...

I’m thinking if it seized there will be some involvement of the hub too. Its not a job I fancy, on my gravel drive and this time of year, and having used up my tinkering time allowance over the last few weeks fitting.... an electro mechanical cruise control (will do a post on it soon, old/early...

Inside the handbrake clean as a whistle On and off seems to be releasing fine Drained the oil from the transfer box, plenty left and minimal filings on the plug. Topped up the main box didn’t take too much. jacked up the front offside wheel loads of Play, noise, resistance and grinding… Front...

Noticed a funny noise this morning like a couple of nuts and bolts being rolled along in a can. First gear and reverse. Quick look nothing hanging down. got to work, looked on Landyzone and ordered some grease from Amazon to put on the UJs tomorrow. Home time, pulled out of parking space...

I feel your pain. 2000 td5 110, recently gone on a galvanised chassis always always started fine. One day a month ago very lumpy starting and turnover but picked up after a few seconds. Following day turned over but just wouldn’t catch. Read on here about crank position sensor so gave it...

Oops… It was a static Idler pulley..... seized on the dual carriageway actually on the way to the garage… Shredded the belt which in turn walloped one of the power steering pipes. Absolute gent of an AA guy, sourced the parts locally, took me to buy them, then spent a good hour getting...

Website search function not working today? Half an hour on Google has sort of helped but if I could check with the experts: Just noticed a whine from the front of the engine last couple of days like the fan is on. Looking with the engine running and the fan is turning although not that fast...

Sorry just spotted the last post… Mine did have a cable operated handbrake and the weight thing. The disco box had the cable operated handbrake and no weight thing. It was a 1.4 transfer box and looked age appropriate Sort of imagined it was another one of those things that somebody...

Thanks

Thanks for the advice guys, I was able to do the job a couple of weekends ago - Took my time and it all seems to have worked okay. Very, very happy with the results. Just another question, the defender transfer box had a weight/counterbalance (Square with quadrant cut out of it) bolted on just...

Thank you guys that sounds great advice

Thanks James, the diff lock option sounds good The diff lock (and High/low) seem very stiff on the donor box - I figure it's just because they don't have the fulcrum/ lever effect. Okay to tap the switch over with a …hammer - Or try and wedge/pry Sorry – also, would you recommend taking off...

Hoping to replace the transfer box on my 2000 td5 110 this weekend with one from a discovery 1 300 Tdi. Both have the cable operated handbrake Thought I would make a start last night and take the drum off the donor box - Instant fail, the drum just keeps spinning round when I try to get a...

Unfortunately the camera covering the cars is some distance away…you can just about see that it is a person, not a tyre biting dog… Which is what the bobbies would no doubt have tried to suggest..

Thanks guys. We gave CCTV footage of a furtive individual to the police following a break-in at a neighbours house… They felt his collar and no doubt showed him the footage… Which is why it was just the tyres on the 'blind' side of the cars that were damaged...

I had 3 of my bfg commercials on defender 110 stabbed at the weekend*, - Front and rear nearside plus spare! leaving me with just the front and rear offside tyres inflated...although one of those has a nail stuck in it that I have been meaning to get fixed for a while… I have ordered 4 new...

Ok, done. I'm struggling to get he post to look right, so is it ok if I share this as an album? sorry some of the pics are on their side, the just keep uploading in landscape format! Its all done and working apart from the integration with the 10AS box. I get nothing. I figure it probably needs...

OK I will keep you updated and sort the pics so far the hawk control box is next to the 10AS. the hawk loom is a long thing with branches off, as opposed to 4 long branches. first branch with 5 wires goes out of the back of the instrument cavity to the door seal and down to the door...

Ebay: UNIVERSAL*REMOTE* KEYLESS CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING KIT | eBay Great price, but just been positioning box and running the wires so far... Separate supply it is then!!!
