Appreciate everyone’s input. Lockdown spending is killing me. just ordered all new nuts n bolts, found the clutch pedal bushes in the shopping basket, so ordered those aswell what other problems will I find in that area ?? Lol

Brilliant info Ralph i thought I had done all my learning. Then I got a defender

Wow .. 500k. Hope mine carries on that long very light surface rust. Came off very easy. Only on that bit you can see aswell ?? still, at least your reply this time didn’t cost me more money 😂 is it just any ep90 to refill? .. I think I read 2.3L .. does that sound right ? thanks Ralph

Forgot to add 1 last question I promise am I correct in thinking I need ep90 ? done some Googling and people are on about hypoid etc ?? What’s that mean

Ok chaps cover turned up today so I took the old one off.. anyone see anything from the pics below of anything I need to worry about. Can I do any checks of any sort while I have it open

Good to hear Ralph thanks just the A frame for now Pete but I will be doing others when the floor gets a little warmer. So appreciate the heads up 👍 Cheers Mike, my hands already look like I’ve been shark feeding and the neighbours are well aware of my choice language.. I’m sure they think when I’m working under the truck i have an imaginary friend appreciate all the info as usual chaps 👍👍

Cracking info thanks Stephen

Good to hear Ralph thanks just the A frame for now Pete but I will be doing others when the floor gets a little warmer. So appreciate the heads up 👍 Cheers Mike, my hands already look like I’ve been shark feeding and the neighbours are well aware of my choice language.. I’m sure they think when I’m working under the truck i have an imaginary friend. just been googling the job.. as I’m doing the opposite end of A frame bushes aswell as the ball joint, can the whole thing be removed and work be done on bench? Seems to be a little discrepancy? Personally I cant see why not but I’d always refer back here first. I think I’m going to start a daily soaking of plusgas while waiting on delivery of parts. appreciate all the info as usual chaps 👍👍

Well that’s that diff ordered ✅ a frame ball joint ✅ superpro bushes ✅ dont hate me for the superpro ☺️ expensive nipple greasing day that turned out to be 😢

Or depending on what you intend to write try google 3D self adhesive lettering

And the same if i do bushes at opposite end of arms ?? I won’t ask polybush or gen rubber 😂 I’ve also just been reading Les post about changing. This place is great. 👍

Better sooner than later I guess ? What’s that bit do ? assuming it’s just a case of undo castellated nut plus the 2 bolts and swap over ?

Jesus!! You 2 are doing a good job of spending my money note to self .. crop picture riiiight down next time

Good spot. Cheers best get googling 😂

Ralph to the rescue once again 👍 I’ll get spending .... again !! sshhhhooosh .Nobody tell the wife thanks very much

Fellas bit of a problem. So I went to grease me nipples. Went for a drive to warm things up, but on return i noticed me rear diff filler was dripping. Got me spanner’s out to see if it just needed nipping up and guess where the filler plug is now 🤬🤬🤬🤬 so question is.. is it just a case of purchasing a new cover and plug, take off old re fit new then fill up again ?? And if so, what diff do I have? Can anyone tell from pic or is there numerous different types ?? thanks in advance you bunch of life savers 👍

Thanks Ralph price seems to have shot up a bit since you guys done yours !! 😳

Reviving an old one.. I have 1987 110 with 200tdi. It has the long spring knee and hip busting clutch pedal Was looking to do the pivot bushes and thought about adding the clutch assist spring but now realise I have the older type pedal box. question is, can I change just the box for a 300tfi or newer or does the master cylinder need doing aswell ?? thanks edit.. apologies.. ignore the above. I re-read the post and there it is. Yep I can change for 300tdi box, cylinder and bolts the same . 😊 must pay more attention in class

You make it sound too easy. Assuming I’d have to bleed afterwards? quick question for you. I see you have changed your spring from the long straight one to the curly one.. did it make that much of a difference? I do get knee aches after a while in traffic, so sounds like it may help me out, but does it really do what it says on tin

Cheers Ralph... was actually hoping that wouldn’t be the case. more work then thanks

Guys 1987 110csw anyone know if it’s possible to change the bushes in clutch pedal while everything in situ ?? ive Googled but can’t find much. thanks

Great stuff .. done it. thanks very much
