Hi - it's 6 years or so since I did this so can't remember much of it now! However, I've checked the PDF Land Rover manual I have and it describes the method. If you PM me you email address then I'll happily forward it on. Shaun

I remember that old thread - I bought one after rreading it. Here's mine in my 200 TDI engined Defender: Shaun

Hiya. In addition to what you've found, I'd put my money on the splines on the end of the mainshaft and the transfer box input gear splines both being worn out. Shaun

No - I'm not confused. I know exactly what I was describing. And the symptoms were identical - but occurred at a different speed.

I had this happen to me on a Disco. You used to think the dash was going to fall out the vibration was so violent - happened at about 50 to 55mph. The long story shortened is that the new pro-comp steering damper that I'd fitted was the problem. It had the smallest amount of 'slack' before it started to offer resistance. This was the cause. I had trouble convincing the supplier that this was the cause, but they believed me in the end when I returned it and they did in turn to the manufacturer who confirmed it was defective. I repalced it with a standard one and the death wobble was cured. I'd changed lots of things at the same time as the damper, so it took a good while to diagnose. Shaun

OK - cheers. Shaun.

Hiya - see this thread for a solution, My link I just bought them from a local bearing supplier. I'm sure they'll be available from someone llike these if you have a look: Simply bearings Shaun

Hiya. Put my 90 back on the road today after the gearbox overhaul and lots of little jobs over the winter (only got the car in August last year). Anyway, preparing for my journey for it's MOT last night I thought I'd best check the tyre pressures. Couldn't find any reference to my tyre sizes in any of the books I have though. So thought you may be able to help. It's fitted with 235/80/16 tyres. I've gone with 27lbs front, and 34lbs rear. Anyone have an alternative suggestion? It's an '89 90, with a 200TDI fitted - if you feel that has any bearing on it? Cheers, Shaun.

Got mine Thursday - thanks for the post. Shaun

Don't forget the tech archive.... This is just what you need to have a look at: LT77 rebuild Shaun

Thanks. I'll have to look more closely. Shaun

Hi, I've tried searching, but can't find any reference to this. It may be as simple as 'prise the knob off the shaft', but mine doesn't seem to want to move. I didn't want to break it, so thought I'd ask first. Cheers, Shaun.

Talk about can't see the wood for the trees! That is so bl**dy obvious! And would've saved me plenty of time. I think I was so focussed on removing the flange as I think (memory failure!) that is the only way to do it on a Disco pump. Good call mate. Shaun.

Tested mine today before fitting. Worked a treat on the switch settings the same as you rawsondsr. Here are a couple of photo's. Shaun

Hiya. Firstly, sorry. I have no expereince in dismantling a 300 TDI, so I can't comment on your hole. However, a bit of plastic metal would easily fill it and stop any water ingress if that's your worry. Thinking about it, a dolop of silicone sealant would probably do the job too. That would be a bit more of a bodge though. If you have access to either MIG or AC TIG, please ignore both of the above! Shaun.
