The defender one I took off is taper on both sides . the new disco one is the other type I guess .

Its a 97 TDI and the swivel and housing is from a 98 disco

So opened it up looks like its a different set up ? Thrust bearings instead of tapers ? Why is this different ?

Got a swivel from a early disco and everything fits good except the top swivel pin looks different for a abs sensor I believe . can I just use the defender swivel pin instead . it looks different .

OK sorry for my lack of knowledge but how is the CV properly positioned with the stub axle ? The circlip went on fine

Got it off . drilled out the innerrace and split it with a chisel . thing was a nightmare to get off . found a used hub and stub shaft in great condition at the wreckers. now having a issue with my turning circle only when I turn left .. It turns very wide but turning right is fine . The steering stop is not even touching and I can't turn the wheels any further left.

I was down on power once and I traced it back to the sender unit not fully sealed at the tank .

Yes caliper is off. Inner race seems seized on . that hub will not come off . hammered and pryed , penetrating oil .. Nothing will get this hub off . I think a torch or a puller is the only way .

300tdi . front left wheel bearing is knackered . took off both locking nuts . the hub will not come off .. I don't have a puller and I don't have a torch . any ideas how to get this off ?

Adjusted the steering stops . thanks a lot guys ! Works great now !

Very useful info thanks guys .

Just switched to a set of 285/75 x 16 bfgs and ome +2 hd suspension . when I now take tight corners the back side of my tires are rubbing on my radius arms . I'm pretty certain wheel spacers will fix the issue. Thoughts ? 97 110 300tdi

So I changed the injectors purged all the lines and fittings . And still having issues with power and white smoke . I'm thinking it might just be the head gasket Although compression is fine and the oil is also not milky .

He says he can replace the needle and nozzles for around 100 an injector . Prob just buy new ones and rebuild the old and keep them as back ups . It's a new fuel filter and the proper one but I noticed the previous owner has removed the sedementer ...
