I carry two 7.50s as spares when I`m running my 235/85s so long as the tyres are the same on each axle ,I cant see any major dramas if any. but a grown up will be along soon to confirm this or make me look stupid
-
I would check all wheel bearings while your at it. if you need a hand to change them, I`m only in Brecon
-
might be dry wheel bearing, just pull the 1/2 shaft out and see if there is any grease in there
-
you could drive down here and I will use my Landrover special tool No 1 to open it seriously Goldie don`t force it, cos it will snap and then it`s a nightmare to strip the front end when you cant open the bonnet. Russ
-
Carl push the bonnet down, then try it again, mine used to play up aswell, then I was a bit to strong for the bonnet release and snap, sounds like it needs a good greasing when you finally open it Russ

Loud click clacking sound coming from the front?

yep, I would put money on it being your cv joint -
have a look at the bushes on the front radius arms, panhard rod, rear trailing arms. have a good look at the upper link bushes on the radius arms and trailing arms. I had the upper link bushes fail on my trailing arms, whish in effect gave me rear wheel steering, not funny at 50mph and the rear of the disco is doing its own thing Russ

Who runs the Aston Cantlow site?
-
easier to do them now you have done one, was the caliper bolts a pain to get back in?
-
more than willing to give you a had, show you how to change the bearing, if you want to pop over
-
nokiamutt if you gave us a clue to where you are, someone may be able to help you out. changing wheel bearing are very straight forward
-
Special tools? 52mm box spanner for the bearing nuts brass drifft to tap out the old bearings and to tap in the new ones a pot of bearing grease and a sense of humour for when you get grease everywhere
-
If you could fill you location in on your profile, it would be easier as someone closer to you could pop round and show you. or go and get one of those Haynes manual thingies. if you are close to me I would willingly sit and drink brews and pointed while you were doing you brakes Russ
-
if memory serves, there is a switch on top of the transfer box, you need to remove the centre console to get to it though where abouts in mid wales?
-
well as I started this thread, I should really bring it up to date with my disco as it is now
-
just to give you an idea of how much welders charge, the one near me charges £35 plus vat per hour not including materials , that`s why I did mine my self, not as quick as a professional, not as tidy, but it passed the MOT
-
mine is where the curtesy light is aswell, wire running down the `A` pillar, through the dash, then it has a 12v plug with fuse on the end and gets plugged into the cigar lighter socket Russ
-
I have one of those on the disco, it has never let me down and pulled me out many a time, a good entry budget winch and the company selling them are very helpfull
-
the springis in the lock mech, you need to remove it, to replace the spring, its not easy if you have big hands
-
hey buddy had a a similar problem with mine, sounds like the little spring has snape on the lock mechanisum, the are pennies on ebay, look under `landrover springs. if your not far from Brecon, I wil open the door for you, well show you how I did it.
