its the bearing and fork out the disco i broke. it drove well without any slippage which is why im baffled

are disco r380 bearings same as defender? as im currently running the disco bearing paddocks list ftc5200 for both disco and defender 300tdi

its a disco 300tdi with disco r380 and ashcroft selector adapter.

wondering if the flywheel could cause issues? did not see any ridges or high spots

that is almost what i feel could be the issue. 2 different make clutches and release bearings too.

yes was complete 3 piece clutch

1989 110 fitted with full 300tdi and r380 gearbox using all standard parts. . my clutch slips if weight of boot on clutch pedal, so when i changed gearbox i fitted another clutch and its still the same if not worse. changed master cylinder, slave and hose made no difference. master i even adjusted it to pull pedal down so return spring would pull rod back also tried with nuts loose and still the same loosened slave bolts right of to check if any pressure held against slave and all good. can push slave back into box easy by hand. have loosened bleed nipple and fluid drips out so not holding pressure anywhere now stumped any suggestions appreciated

when you test for power do you have the engine running and heated rear window switched on? also you will still need dash lights plugged in to energise the alternator

the ball joint kits have different part numbers and no other supplier seams to cross refrence/superceeded numbers so perhaps they are not interchangable

according to the online parts catalogue yes rtc6398 for rhd 6 bolt and stc1044 rhd 4 bolt. john craddocks say the stc1044 is superceeded to rtc6398 so would suggest can be interchanged

i was led to believe its a standard rear axle casing with 4pin diff.

are you sure its not the ignition switch worn? can you check by powering the starter make sure its out of gear first

what about fitting a later rear axle that used a short nose diff rather than a salisbury?

speak to nigel at megasquirt. hes a diff specialist https://www.megasquirt-v8.co.uk/index.php

input shaft different lengt, spigot bush dofferent diameter, splines different, bell housing different length. it wont be a direct fit and needs stripping and bits swapping to make it fit. search on here td5 r380 into 300tdi will give you info on what needs to be swapped

dont think a td5 r380 imput shaft is correct length even if you had a 300.

agree my eberspacher 801 controller has the temp sensor built in to control fan and heat level but when i looked into it and even that looks like its just a on/off signal im tempted to buy an ebay special sim controlled relay to text it to start also an 801 can be set for for different run times so wonder if a 2 second pulsed signal will start it and run for an hour

headlight switch.?

theres alot of vw campers running the heaters without issues. alot have also done the co tests and someone even used thermal image to compare to an eberspacher and results were very close as to not make a difference. also the chinese have flame out and overheat sensors and when stripped down are hard to tell apart. now how long they will last is the 5million dollar question. facebook have several groups for these heaters and main issues seam to be the glow plug fails which a genuine ebber plugs straight in

yes but you would need to keep doors open so its inlet air is not heated as thats where most temp sensor are located so it ran flat out.

theres an average of 3-5 a day being reported on landywatch facebook page. alot get used for parts or cash point removals. others vanish into thin air so christmas has nothing to do with it just a very easy vehicle to steal and handy to pull out cashpoints

ive also heard its better to run keroscene as although btu output is less its a cleaner fuel

it was sent to the eberspacher dealer for service and checked over as it kept smoking and cutting out, they said it was because its too big for the landrover. so i sold it and got a 2kw and no issues since and it still cuts down to tick over as heat is still in ample supply
