hi, whilst the gearbox is off being rebuilt i noticed a little puddle of engine oil on the floor, which it looks to me like it weeping around where the flywheel housing joins the engine. My theory is thats its weeping out because the engine tipped right back because the gearbox isnt on. anyone have any ideas on the situation? thanks

Has anyone seen or used these http://www.zeus.uk.com/land-rover.php at the bottom of the page converting to timing gears.

im not wreckless but i thought maybe where i would just wheelspin and give up now, if i had grip would it be too much for standard parts to cope with

My tyres seem to just lose grip before any damage is done .

ok 35's it is then cheers

im thinking maybe go down to 33 as i cant justify spending the money on cv's and i dont want to be breaking stuff everytime i go out. I it mainly rear axle parts that go or front? thanks

the paddocks 10" by 15" wheels are -32 offset

the caliper bolts for the 200tdi are imperial i think 7/16" whereas the 300 are metric m12

hi, ive currently got 35"/12.5"/15" tyres on my 90, they are pro comp and are similar to bfg style tread, and havnt broke anything yet, if i was to upgrade to somthing grippier i.e. maxxis muddzilla/creepy crawler will it quite likely destroy everyting and should i go down in size a bit. thanks

hi, i started taking everything apart eady for the back axle last night and noticed the A frame ball joint seems different to the one that was on the axle, as the nut was 24mm spanner whereas the one on the disco was 30mm any ideas as to wether it will work? thanks

i had a local exhaust place do mine and it was cheaper and saved me the job of trying to fit a kit.

thanks Les i think the splines are worn as there that red paste stuff. so turn the drive flanges and pull it out by hand or will i need some sort of gear puller? regards

Hi, Ive been taking out my gearbox and transfer box today to get the box reconditioned. but i could not get the box and transfer box apart. So i took the pto cover plate off the back of the transfer box and tryed taking the input gear off. I thought it was supposed to just slide off but it seems to have seized onto the gearbox mainshaft because it will not come off no matter what i try any ideas? thanks

Just on the thinkauto website and the 3 options for the fittings are concave,convex and flat. Does it matter which one i go for?

ok so im gonna order the bits today, does anyone know what size fittin i need, if its any help its a disco 1 back axle and its going on a 1984 90. thanks

Managed to get it off in the end by hacking away at the top half of the nut with a 4.5" grinder and then just loosened it with a socket on the remaining bit of the nut. thanks for help

Ok Thanks Muther Trucker thats exactly what im trying to do, so now i know it wont work.

Cil111 did you buy new half shafts or use the original ones. my diff and half shafts are from a disco 1 axle

ah ok thanks dont think i'll bother as it was just temporary thing.

Does anyone know if you can fit 24 spline diff and halfshafts in a drum brake axle on a 90 thanks

good thinking i'll try that. cheers

ok cheers plastic badger i'll try your ideas tonight

Ok i'll try cleaning up the threads cant try plasticbadger idea no.2 becasue the axle isnt on a vehicle

ok cheers. dont think a 9" grinder will fit because the nut is housed inside the mount

hi, trying to remove the ball joint off my axle and when i turn the nut the joint just turns so it wont undo and there nothing to grip, has anyone else had this problem or have any ideas? thanks
