[ATF and "cold climate oil stc50519"]

so far , reservoir, pipe's and pump are empty , so beter flush the system to get the last bit out off the steering box.

wich is the better choice to fill the system with , ATF or the "newer" steering fluid ?

 

it's a 300tdi pump with probeble a TD steering box.

[ATF and "cold climate oil stc50519"]

hello all , 

 

short question , can you mix ATF power steering oil with STC50519 , or do you have to flush the system if using the later ?

 

greetings

[bearing numbers Warn m8000 winch]

messuring the remaining bits of bearing , it turns out to be a standard 6202 bearing .

[bearing numbers Warn m8000 winch]

ok , had a bit of a clean , and the bearing on the shaft side of the motor is a 6203DL , so i can find that local . gasket is Warn 13848 so that is solved .

now i only need the number for the bearing inside the motor , located under the brushholder.

[bearing numbers Warn m8000 winch]

hello all , 

 

does anybody know what the numbers are for the 2 bearings inside a Warn M8000 winch , i need the bearing on the rear of the motor (behind the brushholder) and the bearing in the motor mounting plate next to the drum.

also needed are 2 gaskets for the gearbox , are these only avelable from Warn ?

[Adjust 300tdi pump timing without removing cover?]

7 hours ago, Tobias said:

I am not asking whether it is what people rocomend. I know it is not by the book. I understand the hub on the pump will be mis-aligned in relationship with facotry procedure, but the whole pin-in-hole thing is just because most people changing a belt doesn't have access to the DTI procedure.

what does DTI mean ?

 

[Toyo open country 255 85 16]

i have the Toyo's on my 110 , as far as i know on stock suspension , tyre's are great , not much roadnoise for a mud terrain.

1 thing to remember , these tyre's are very , and i mean VERY heavy ....

[sand tyres ?]

i've been to marokko ( and senegal , gambia) in a standard discovery , no lift kit etc . fitted BF goodrich MT , yes ...mud terrains ... found no problems with the tyres , we didn't get stuck in the soft sands and no punctures on the rocky patches ... 

for me they were great tyres to use ....

 

and i found there's more rocks than sand in western-africa

[1987 110 front axle , is a range rover classic the same ?]

thanks all for the replay , i don't want a "bitsa" so i'll keep looking for the correct axle 

[1987 110 front axle , is a range rover classic the same ?]

ok , clear reactions ... i guess i have to look for a original 110 axle then.

does anybody know til what year i can use ? is there a axle number i can use ?

[1987 110 front axle , is a range rover classic the same ?]

hello all , 

 

short question , is a range rover classic front axle the same unit as a 110 2.5 D from 1987 ?

in short , i want to rebuild a complete (calipers and rotors included) spare front axle , and when finished swap for my current slightly worn front axle , in holland a spare range rover classic axle is easier found then a spare 110 axle ..

(of course it needs to be LHD)

 

thanks in advance

[How to make / fold this lifting roof section ?]

remove 60 mm from the middle , then use the cutout section to join the 2 half's together with sikaflex and poprivets ....

[Semi seized engine]

other thing you can try : remove the glowplugs en see if the engine wil turn more than 6 revolutions (maybee there's oil or water on top of 1 cilinder) . if not , remove valve cover and loosen all the set screws for the rockers (or maybee just easier to remove the hole valve train) , if you can turn your engine round the distribution belt has sprung a tooth or more ....

[Prep to Overland across west africa]

just a normal (as in stock)  landrover wil do , as mentioned before , do a normal service and your good to go .

been from holland to gambia with a stock discovery , do daily checks on oil, aircleaner, coolant level etc 

[MOT testing hammer]

yep , that's from the rubber pads on the lift .

you may want to look at the rust under the bodycoating !

[Chassis maintenance / upgrade]

any info on prices ?

[Intercoolers and other bits]

i think it would bu usefull to measure the temp's , at least you have a baseline to work from.

[Terrafirma arms and bushings.]

is it possible to measure the hole and bushing with calipers , to see if they match ?

[bulkhead holes for windscreen hinges defender 1987]

scotts90 , 

 

thanks for the measurement , now i know it should fit .

next step is welding the steering bracket (the welder forgot to change the side of it (used to be a RHD , now converted tot LHD))

 

then it's to the galvanizing company
