Turns out it was the kingpin had bent/mangled itself. Repair kit and wheel bearing for the other side: £180. Ouch.

Cheers for the help. one for the garage i think, i've got no time to square it now.

Right, doesnt move left to right but i havent got it off the ground yet. I looked at it from the back, and i can see the whole hub moving around on the chrome ball. I'm assuming this isnt a good thing?!

It was definitely moving from top to bottom, didnt check left to right. I'll have a look in a minute. Thanks

Hi guys, Need some advice. I had a blowout on the M27 at 70. This caused alot of heavy vibration etc on the offside front wheel. I've replaced the tyre and i noticed that i was getting a similar vibration/wobble through the steering wheel. I pulled over, checked my wheel nuts, all fine, had a look round the back of that hub and noticed a lot of grease, looks like the one shot stuff you put in the wheel bearings. I rocked the wheel at the top and there is a lot of play, feels like a really badly work/knackered wheel bearing. Is this the most likely thing to have happened? are there any other possibilities? I need the motor for work so could do with getting it sorted ASAP! Are there any good garages around blandford forum that you would recommend for this repair? Thanks guys. Dave

so youve got something more like this?

Thought that might be the case! lets start thinking this through again! thanks

Morning Just a quick sanity check before I start, will this work?! Basically, two lights per relay, relays triggered from a carling on-on-off switch. Am I right in thinking the carling has two completely seperate circuits, i.e. circuit one is on, two is off, two is on, one is off? Many thanks!

To be honest its nothing serious, all the light filters are discoloured so thats half an a4 sheet already! a few worn bushes and play/leaks in the pas box and a few other minors. nothing that will take long to get sorted!

After about 3 years stood on a farm doing nothing, having been sold and then re-acquired by me my 1987 200tdi 90 has been brought back to life to save me from the perils of having to go everywhere on public transport. One new brake pipe and a new wheel bearing saw it sail through its MOT today, granted with a list of advisaries spanning two full sheets but a pass none the less! Having been driving a 5 series for the last three years i'd forgotten the fun that can be had in these! Very happy landy owner!

I think I must have bought the single seal kit then. it had two when I took it apart and the seal didn't look particularly like either of the existing ones. ill try the other seal aswell. thanks for your help.

hi, I've just done the wheel bearing on a disco disc break rear axle, the bearings are fine, but i've only got one seal and should have two. any idea what part numbers I need? one goes on the stub axle behind the bearings and one goes in the hub before the washer and nuts. thanks!

I got one with my MOD90 ID card, I think its their way of giving us military discount. Don't know if they still do though...

Ok i'll check all the hoses and the supply to the turbo also. I'll be getting to look at it this saturday so i'll let you know what i find.
