My wife was driving her truck yesterday , after around seventy miles we stopped at some traffic lights ,she went to pull off but she could only get first gear ? the clutch is working fine , the gear stick is stuck in either neutral or first ? it will not move sideways at all ?

this is why im asking for help it doesnt make sense . the only thing i can come up with is not enough pressure to operate both pistons ? is this possible .. im going to change the master cylinder again to see if that is the cause .

like i said above the inner pads are worn ,the strange part is they are working ive tested them on a rolling road ? but only the inside . i dont be leave they are seized as when i hold the inner pistons in they move straight away when the pedal is pushed ?? as for the make they came from paddocks . could it have any thing to do with the master cylinder ?? a piston or seal losing or not producing enough pressure ??

the pads are worn on the inside and untouched on the outside . i understand with the brake balance but its the fact that the outside pads do not touch the discs unless i hold the the inside pad in , which i cant understand surely that cant be right ?? give me a defender any day lol

non abs its a 300 tdi 1996

they do not touch the discs , to the point the discs are rusty on the outside but not inside ?? they only move a few mill unless you hold the inside ones in then the go all the way to the disc ?

I have changed the rear calipers and master cylinder on my wifes discovery , but the outside pistons on both calipers are low on pressure the inside ones work fine but the out side ones barely move ?? but if you hold the inside ones in they work fine ? has anyone any idea how to solve this and also how do you refit the glass on the wing mirrors ive cracked two trying to get them on lol . .

thanks muddy thats what i was looking for

HI could anyone please tell me if i would have to change the props on a 110 if i was to put a discovery 200 tdi gear box into it ? i have put the engine in but it sits away from the rad so my thoughts are to put new engine mounts further forward and fit the disco box . Hopefully after fitting the 200tdi engine mount it stop the vibrations to lol

she drives like a loon lol chears mate i will go down that route

right then please help hahahaha i want to order today , what make standard shocks and where to purchase , i cant afford really expensive gas shocks are the likes of procomp , terrafima , monroe etc any good ?? im still leaning towards www.4x4autoparts-online.co.uk/standard-height-procomp-full-suspension-kit-p-3848.html?zenid=1fv2f0bvdh0lgn76pc26iitj76 any one used these ?? are they any good ?? or is there better for similar money ?? thanks again the reason behind all this is its my wifes truck and i dont want to hear about for the next year if i get it wrong lol

thank every one

cheers the only standard springs i can find are brit part , my past experience with britpart is not very good . are bearmach blues any good ?? what make shocks would you go for??

hello to everyone i want to change the suspension on my wife's discovery could anyone please tell me their opinions on which kits are the best ?? are terrafirma any good ?? the truck is does goes of road but not much but does a bit of towing . cheers

Thank you very much

hi chaps A while back i came across a guide with pictures on how to remove and fit a transfer box , but now i cant find it !!!! can anyone point me in the right direction please

ok will do that cheers

thanks for that but other than paying £350ish is there another way to repair it ??

the bottom oil seal has started to leak on my 110 is this a easy fix ?? the seal kit is rather cheap around £9 which to me means either its hard to do or dosnt work lol .

have you checked you have the correct water temperature sensor ? it must be the right one for the truck not the engine (which i found out hahahahaha ) . with the heater it sounds like a air lock the way i got around this was disconnect one of the pipes of the matrix , fill the matrix with fluid through the pipe , reconnect pipe and for me that was problem solved , nice and warm now . also remove the plug on top of the rad and fill from there then top up the bottle if need be .

thank you . i can now enjoy my beer

i was asked today which way the coolant flowed through the radiator ? i said it went in the top warm/hot and out the bottom cool/cold , but then a discussion took place on this with 3 people saying it went in the bottom and out the top because the water pump pushed it that way and only 1 person agreeing with me ? so now im a tad confused which isn't hard to do on a Friday lol .

yesterday i flushed the rad through , checked the thermostat and fill the rad through the top plug . went for a drive no different ??? then changed the stat for the one out of the 19j engine which is a different design to the 200tdi one , went for a drive and no problems the rad was warm the heater was warmish but the gauge only went up to the first quarter mark . At least the one good thing is i found out my clutch master cylinder is leaking hahahaha

i will do that this morning and hopefully that will cure it . if not i have another engine here so that may have go in hahahahaha i think it would be quicker to do that

i have done this and checked the engine temp with a raytemp infra red thermometer . i will have to try and flush the rad through again . the most annoying thing is a drove my mates truck yesterday which i changed the engine two months ago and it goes really well the temp gauge went up to half way and stayed there . i can not think of any thing i have done different on my truck to his ??
