[Axle rebuild help please?]

Hiya Guys - doing a complete new project involving Disco 1 running gear. First job is to rebuild both axles. Really looking for a blow up assembly diagram that idiots can follow - can anyone help/suggest anything please?

[military defender door tops]

No hacksaw required, just an ordinary pair of scissors do fine. B)

Hiya - desperate desperate to find a roll of this stuff - can you highlight where you got it from please?

[ring wing change on a 90 tub - easy?]

ok many thanks - thought thats what you meant - will do the others first and then presumably these final welds will become obvious. Thanks for your help.

[ring wing change on a 90 tub - easy?]

Still lost im afraid - what do you mean.....

[ring wing change on a 90 tub - easy?]

Sorry bud - 7 IIRC 3 or 4 ?

[ring wing change on a 90 tub - easy?]

Thanks - What sort of running along over the top of the spat? - and i have heard that you can get round re-spot welding by using sikaflex adhesive - chap at an LR approved bodyshop told me thats what they do... any thoughts

[ring wing change on a 90 tub - easy?]

Hiya - got one to do on my mates ex-mod 90 and just wondering what sort of a job it is? - obviously i can see cappings need to be removed and lots of pop rivets but are there any other fixings like spot welds nearer to the door? - can anyone advise please?

[Removal/refit of 90 rear panels - how please?]

ralph i think he means the rear panels either side of the door not the rear wing.

I think all you do is drill out the rivets in all the cappings around it, remove the 2 crossmember bolts and you may need to drill out the 2 little rivets eother side of the bolts as i think there are captive nut plates rivetted to the back, will probably need some fiddling around to get it out but can't be too hard

Good luck

Dave

Thanks Dave - thats magic - yes its the rear panel that im changing - im also advised, there are some spotwelds underneath the top capping and some by the door aperture - thats cool - i'll do it tomorrow. Thanks everyone for their help

[Removal/refit of 90 rear panels - how please?]

Sorry, not sure why you want to remove this part, is your existing one damaged ?

Id you have a new one you might get a better idea of how it attaches...

Hiya - yes its damaged - quite badly, I have a new one which clearly shows the returns in the panelwork but there are limited pre-drilled fixings holes within it along the capping lines which suggests that you drill your own using the cappings as guides...? - the two crossmember bolt fixing holes are present - so perhaps you use them first to ensure its in the right position......?

[110 TD5 Traction Control]

Bod - traction control only works side to side on a Defender - not front to back so if like the other have said - you could hear the modulator chattering away the TC was operating but in a cross axle situation your stuffed still. On a D3, Sport etc - its more sophisticated and works across the axles and back to front.

[Removal/refit of 90 rear panels - how please?]

Need to change the offside rear panel before i put a hardtop onto the car - it looks like its just a case of drilling the rivets out on the top and side capping and removing the two crossmember bolts..........

Has anyone done it and if so can they please confirm for me.

[110 TD5 Traction Control]

OK - is it trying to move/brake the wheels or absolutely nothing happening? ETC is not perfect and will not guarantee spinning all wheels in a high load situation but it usually bucks and farts around trying quite hard and you should hear the ABS modulator chattering away to itself. It sounds like it isn't working at all but if you are sure the ABS is ok then I don't know why - usually it either all works or none of it

You mention an articulation - so a weel of each axle off the ground yes? - if so Traction control on a defender will not overly assist you as it only works side to side - not front to back.

[200tdi into my ex mod 90 - help please]

Hiya - an old subject but could do with some fresh clear advice from people whove done it. Ive just bought a Classic Range rover with a useful 200 unit in it - what exactly are the absoloute musts to purchase and what could be utilised from the Classic... appreciate anyones help

[changing steering wheels]

There are two types of TD5 wheel. One fits pre-defender 90/110 which come with the 4 spoke wheel, the other fits tdi defenders that come with the 2 spoke wheel. The one that fits the early 90/110's is essentially the same as the 2 spoke wheel fitted to RRC's but with a bigger central 'cushion'.

Thanks guys - dont like the big 'cushion' - looks like something i cant mention but hey I'll keep looking

[changing steering wheels]

Anyone out there changed a 90 'pre defender' steering wheel to a Tdi one - and if so, does the Tdi one fit ?

Sorry Tony, IIRC?
