I've removed several of these "things" the only method which worked for me was a good sharp chisel and nicely weighted hamer, if your replacing the joint it should come with a new nut and pin, I alson found that removing it from the A frame required a press but maybe I was just unlucky.

In the process of fitting a 200tdi into 1983 Rangy, I have read that the input shaft lenght on the long lever lt77 is different, donor is 1993 Disco, Any clues.

There are 2 bolts which go through the wings and through the sill trims, there is also a bracket running fron the bottom of the wing backwards but I cannot remember where they fasten, I lost mine during a rebuild years ago, the wings have been fastened to the trim only since with no problems.

Thank you all, this is the info I was looking for, going to try the conversion this weekend but with limited time ????? I will write a problem report for others. Wish me luck.

Just a thought, you could try testing or replacing the temperature sensor, it could be telling the ECU lies like it's -40c. Good luck.

Hi, Iv'e seen several R/R with the same prob, it will run very well and then turn into a bag of sh, my bet's on the ignition amp but something in the back of my mind says, A conection prob on the loom running through the valley between cylinder heads and feeding the dizzy.

I replaced mine last year as most of it had been lost on the road but had to jack the rear back into position, dont leave it to long. -

Hi, You need to a bit carefull here as the rear of your r/r might be a little soft, I have seen the goalposts moving on very bad examples, replacement is not such a bad job if you can weld and will be a cure for many years. -
Thanks for that I'm in a funny position where I have two complete disco's with rotten bodies and good mechs plus my trusty 1983 R/R which is in decent order, where I live petrol is £1.15 per litre and thats just crazy, poor old v8 will find a home in my MGB so all is not lost, done lots of swaps before but still looking for info, tried a search here but found very little will try again.
