[110 and 90 chassis differences]

Asked them first but no joy

[110 and 90 chassis differences]

its not available to buy new, I have been looking for a decent one from a vehicle being broken,

[110 and 90 chassis differences]

I Have been trying to get hold of a decent 110 middle crossmember ( the one the rear suspension a frame mounts too) without joy and am wondering is that part of a 110 chassis the same as on a 90 ? they look the same from what pictures I have seen but i'm not certain. Mh chassis is fine apart from the middle and I cant afford a new chassis at the moment. If the 90 bit is the same I can widen my search. Anyone know for sure.

[chassis differences]

thanks, think I may get one have to see what bills I have coming up first

[chassis differences]

I have an early 110 with a 300tdi engine and r380 which really could do with a new chassis, I have come across a firm that has some unused new old stock tdci 110 chassis fairly cheap , what would the differences be ?

[lt230- lt77 bolt lengths]

Great stuff, thanks for the help

[lt230- lt77 bolt lengths]

Almost finished replacing my transfer case but cant remember where which bolt came from ( the ones that hold the transfer case to the gearbox)and I am sure I read some place about the possibility of sticking one of the longer bolts where one of the shorter ones should be and it catches inside and locks up the box. had a look in the tech archive and cant find it there. I did find the post in there about using long bolts with the head cut of as a guide though and it works a treat

Anyone know which hole it is that can cause the problem ?

[A Frame Ball Joint]

I just finished swapping my a frame balljoint with a gwyn lewis ready pressed in one. Took under 20 mins it was almost enjoyable Had nightmares getting the old one out last time so thought I would take the easy route. I think the fact that the britpart one on there was less than a year old helped as the nuts on the fulcrum didnt have long enough to rust up properly so came off easy.

[Lt230 input gear bearings set up very confused]

have fitted a new gearbox and put the transfer case back on, have a new cross drilled input gear and the bearings are fitted and I have replced both the races. now the fun starts, have been searcing the forums and reading all sorts much conflicting regarding do you need to check/change shims or not. I would prefer to get it right now rather than have it all go wrong after as i have a long trip planned.

I dont have much idea about endfloat preload ect and have never used a dial test indicator. can anyone give me a plain language idiots guide for the uneducated so I can get this right? Also is there much difference between the actual dial test guages or are they all the same sort of thing?

Any help aprreciated

[lt77 output shaft wear]

probaly go for a replacement box have a long trip planned in a few months and dont want stuff breaking on me overseas

[lt77 output shaft wear]

input gear splines are a bit triangle shaped

output shaft doesnt seem as bad as I expected, probably best replaced though

[lt77 output shaft wear]

lol yes, took a lot of wobbling but it came off in the end. the input gears teeth are pretty worn with a lip at one end think thats what was making it hard to get off. definately need an input gear cant see the output shaft very well in the dark under there but I presume they are just as bad.

[lt77 output shaft wear]

having fun trying to get the input gear off, dont want to budge at all. any ideas ?

[lt77 output shaft wear]

will have another go at getting the input gear off tomorrow to get a propper look at the splines

[lt77 output shaft wear]

have been tracing down a clunk, was hoping it would be a cheap bush or something but couldnt find anything obvious so I pulled off the pto cover to take a look thinking the transfer box input gear would come off but it didnt so couldnt see the splines on the gearbox output shaft. made a video of the play, i'm pretty sure its excessive but looking for confirmation

video here its not great quality but you can see whats going on while I rotate the handbrake drum back and forth
