  1. id say the bearings need replacing too, the leaking hub has been leaking for about 3000 miles if not more so without the lubrication the bearings have been knackered too :unsure: cheers for the help
  2. hi there just a few questions i have a hub oil seal problem for about a year now i remember looking at "white 90" tread and planning on fixing it but never got around to sorting it out, but now when i lock my steering wheel there is a clung and also my big avon tyres have worn done to slicks, opps any ideas or is it just down to the hub oil seals need replacing?? cheers for the help liam
  3. aaaahhhhhhhh cant get the sprocket off, and ive made **** off it, oopps could i grind it off?? thinking of using the brass key for the welding it up im off again tomorrow hopefully it stays dry
  4. finally getting around to doing this job, thanks for the replys i cant get my hands on a mig welder and no one rents them out in my area, just been round my local engineering hardware store and they said use my arc welder with a .6 rod on a low heat and it should do the job im a novice at this but need to do it myself as i cant afford the garage costs im doing the cambelt while im at it too but having trouble removing the cam sprocket, any ideas for this??? also is it normal for it to be so sootty in there its like a chimney, maybe the belt was rubbing against something
  5. Hi all A year ago i had a problem with the the crank pully so stripped it back to find the woodruff key was like a flat piece of metal instead of been in a half moon shape, so i looked in to it and i wasnt the only person whos had this problem with their defender. i think this problem started because when replacing the timing the big bolt on the crank pully was never torque to the right setting. Anyway the problem has happened again, last time i bought a new crank pully wheel and new key and the top off the range plastic metal and filled the hole and put it all back together and let the plastic metal set for a week before starting, its done 4000 —5000 miles towing most days. So has anyone out there have a better idea?? Is it a really big and expensive job to have a new replacement crank installed??? My other problem is im living ireland which has a lack off good land rover hands on mechs, all help is welcome. Cheer Liam
  6. thanks for all the replys you have to love this site im going to give the chemical metal a try and see how it go as i dont own a mig welder yet cheers again
  7. the pulley has marks on the inside from the key
  8. a whole new crankshaft????????? here s the pics
  9. hi all about one week ago i noticed the crankshaft pulley had a bit of play so i said id investigate it, ive been stripping my way down to the pulley every evening and just got the pulley off today the woodruff key has made its mark on the left side off the key hole now it looks like i could fit two keys in there one the right way in and the other upside down :( so ive ordered a new pulley and key but i have no idea what to do with the key hole so im hoping some one here has experienced this problem and was able to solve it, im going out to take some photos now so i can give you a better idea of this mess im in liam
  10. cheers guys im off shopping the world wide web so, think ill splash out save me the trouble in a year or two. liam
  11. hi there can anyone tell me the difference in starter motors, i have a 110 300tdi, there is lots of different prices from about £100 right up to £400 also do you get money back for the old one?? where should i shop for the best deal?? thank you liam
  12. ok im back again, still not on the road yet, so ive tensioned the belt to the right tension and went to start her up thinking i was all sorted, but no start, its turning over very slow and then there is a thicking noise, i tried to start it 3 times but then i got an electric smell so i left it at that. the battery is only 2weeks old and all the conections are in good shape, anyone have any ideas cheers
  13. ok ill get on it straight away, everyday im learning,thanks to everyone for replying liam
  14. yes all the pulleys rotate freely, the belt is not broken, its still in good nick,the big pulley seems to have a small bit of play in it but i think this has always been the case.
  15. the tension off the belt has not changed since before this problem but ill give it a try hopefully thats all it is
