  1. hello all , 

     

    my until this afternoon very reliable 1987 110 with a disco 200tdi, lt77 and lt230 has lost all drive ...

    the car stopped with a noise like your having a bad gearshift , a loud grinding noise from the gearbox/transfer case area , with some trouble i got the car another 500 meter , sometimes with a little drive , the remaining distance coasting .

    took the PTO plate of the transfer case and looked at the mainshaft and gear , spline's are still there . when i put the car in gear (handbrake on) the mainshaft and gear do not turn ....

    drained the main gearbox , and no metal , just a little "swarf" , also on the magnetic drainplug .

    got the filter out and no metal there ....

     

    so what may be the cause , catastrofic failure of the main box ?

    Just to keep you guys updated

    Had great news at my consultation today whatever that was growing in my lung has stopped and is stable, they are not concerned anymore, so I'm now back on original schedule which involves 3 MRI scans over the next three years after that all being good I will be cancer free

    Regards one very happy Stephen

    that's great news !!

    set your torque wrench to 25lbft and see if they undo without a click. Put a suitable piece of wood in the vice and stick the BE over it.

     

    that will tell you nothing , you have to overcome the friction of the nut on the conn rod .

    only way to tell what the real torque was  , make a small line on the nut and the conn rod, loosen the nut and set the torque wrench to 15 , see if the line drawn , line's up  , if not , undo the nut and set the wrench to 16 and do it again..... until your mark lines up , that setting was the previous torque setting.
