  1. Afternoon Folks,

    just wondering if anybody would have a part no for the bell housing to gearbox studs on a 200tdi, I appear to either lost mine or there weren’t many in to start ?

    admin, apologies if I’ve posted on the wrong forum/part

    cheers

     

  2. Hi Jeff,

    ive got the 180amp version, got it about 8 years ago, brilliant bit of kit with plenty of power.

    run kemppi welders in my workshop making steel framed buildings, absolutely love em

    The aim of the design is to narrow the axle end to end, what you tried to do was to get both sides to a common width by mixing up the parts.

    One complaint is that the newer narrow hubs have the two bearing races closer together so arguably they will not work so well with wider than standard wheels and tyres or larger wheel offsets?

    Yes that’s exactly what I was thinking 😳

    Having tried the different drive member and then looking at the spline lengths of the different cv’s/halfshafts, have got it sussed now 😃

    they are fitted correctly in the picture; the flange is thicker and the hub is wider on early models. I much prefer the earlier version, as there is more engagement on the splines, and the bearings are further apart, which makes it better suited to large wheel offsets. Also, on the front, it will have a stronger CV. Disadvantage is that alloys don't fit, if this is your thing.

    Thank you, I guess somebody has bolted on a swivel etc from a newer axle.

    i’ve got my head around it all now, thank goodness.

    im going to order a new drive shaft, hub and stub axle.

    I’m like you prefer the older style as the wheel bearings are a bit further apart so hopefully a bit stronger.

    Yes, the thicker one is the early type and is what your 200Tdi vehicle would have had from the factory.

    The hubs, drive members, stub axles and CVs (driveshaft) all changed at the switchover from early to late (1993/1994 ish) and so need to all be the same type for it to fit together. 

    So I’ve got the drive member and hubs the right way round then James ?

    i did try the thicker drive member on the shorter hub but it was loose and the thinner drive member wouldn’t fit inside the taller hub.

    If so it’s obviously the longer stub axles ?

    Cheers

  6. Afternoon Lockdown Land Rover Buffs,

    i‘m rebuilding a front axle (I think the axle was off a 200 tdi 90) and I’ve discovered I have a different type stub axle and hub on one side compared to the other.

    I’m guessing one is an early and one is late, 

    the strange thing is that I’d imagine that the thicker driving member would fit the shorter hub ? But it won’t 

    can anybody help and explain the difference in hubs ?

    many thanks

    Gary

    My Defender TD5 has done this a few times.

     

    Try doing a "fuel systerm purge cycle" on the key a couple of times [takes around six minutes per cycle] and then see if it will start.

     

    If it does, the problem's air/combustion-gases in the fuel-rail inside the head, and the fix is replacing the injector-sealing copper-washers.   To be honest I'd consider replacing the copper washers a 60,000-mile service item, if only to avoid starting problems. Running for any length of time with leaky washers can either result in diesel-in-the-sump engine-bearing damage or burned-out-electric-fuel-pump problems.

     

    At worst, both at the same time!

    Have just been out and tried that Tanuki and alas it won’t start, but I can hear the pump running.

    i was thing of putting a pressure tester in the fuel regulator to see if I’ve got the right pressure ???

    cheers

    Hi Gary,

    I would have thought so. If you're not already a member of the D2boys forum I suggest you join this one as well as it's soely for the D2 and there are guys with more knowledge than me. Free to join qnd search too. I'm no electricery wizard either!

    As it's turning over you know it's not imobilised. Another thing to check is the emergency cut off switch mounted on the bulkhead. Just push down to re-set. I asume the injector loom connection is ok -not bent any pins?

    Griff

    Have joined the D2 boys forum this afternoon and getting some help which is good , no the injector loom connected up fine and did run although with misfire until it stopped yesterday afternoon.

    will have a look for the emergency cut off switch.

    just noticed you’re from Shropshire as well , what part of the county are you in ?

    cheers

    Hi Gary, Have a look through the attached. I've got the Nanocom Evo, but I expect they are similar. Check the crank position sensor is ok and, if you haven't got it already, down load RAVE, the workshop manual.

    The attached is care of a very knowlegable guy on TheD2BoysClub forum.

    HTH,

    Hi Griff,

    thank you that, will download rave and have a look at that.

    im guessing if nanocom is showing the rpm when turning engine over then the crank position sensor is working ?

    thanks

    Gary

  10. Hello, 

    started my td5 the other day and it had got a misfire, so had a look at the red plug and there was a little bit of oil, so I changed the injector loom and cleaned the red plug out with contact cleaner.

    had the top of the emu and it all appeared dry and oil free, put it all back together and misfire still present 😰😰😰

    so have bought a Hawkeye (off a friend who has sold his td5) and plugged in, whilst looking at the live data and looking at the rpm I decided to give a few revs on the third rev it emitted a large puff of smoke (engine not Hawkeye) and now will turnover but won’t start 😫😫😩.

    so the question is where to start and has anybody got a link to the numbers or parameters I should be seeing with the Hawkeye ?

    Thank you & apologies for the question but this is my first foray in to electrical type engines

    What do the runners feel like on the new ones Gary?

     

    they feel cheap and nasty Ross , they friction lock too , the whole toolbox feels poor imho , like you I was hoping to buy a couple of bottom boxes :(

    I was rather hoping somebody might know who they were manufactured by 

  12. I know a few people on here like the halfords Industrial range of toolboxes/chests , it looks like they're being replaced by the 'advanced' range , I looked at one of these(advanced) in store yesterday and imho they look carp and have friction draw locking :(

    The industrial range is still on there website but I can't find a branch to click & collect and they're not available for delivery , does anybody know if these are manufactured for anybody as well as halfords and badged up different ?
