Only took the centre out as there was a bit of movement side to side so thought I'd just check the bearings and one of them is pitted quite a lot, thought it would be best to replace it while it's out. Have got a dial gauge so not a problem there Just last time I tried I changed the pinion bearings (with cheap ones) messed the pinion height up and ruined the crown wheel and pinion! Ended up getting kam diffs to fix it and put a locker in .

Afternoon all A few questions on diffs if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be a great help last weekend my front diff let go big time so got a second hand one from a disco as all my running gear is disco, have taken the diff out and found the carrier bearings are pitted to old f bags so bit of a waste of time getting it really so here goes 1 is a rear diff the same as a front one coz a mate has a rear one i can have thats ok for nout?? 2 can i just change the carrier bearings and try and set it up? as the pinion bearings are ok so the height hasnt changed.is it just setting the backlash?? 3 anyone live near me that fancys doing it for some £££? and how much?? ya gotta love a landy :hysterical:

Ok thanks I'll try and ring tomorrow thanks for the advise I think it way you and Steve who sorted my diff out for me I sent it down to kam with mr v8 freak! I guess the product is still the same have been reading a few posts about problems with the lockers, but mine has been fine only messed about once when the diff oil had turned to slime!! Cheers

Was gonna get a kam for the front as I already have one in the back and don't have an air supply on my truck. Is the customer service not to good then? As you mention about the phone not being answered!! Thanks

Afternoon all Does anyone know if kam will sell a diff cover and mount ring without buying the diff itself? my front diff let go at the weekend so need to fit a new one and at some point want to fit a locker to the front,already have one in the rear. so thought while the axel is in bits could fit the cover and stuff so when i finally get round to the locker i dont need to remove the lot to cut it to peices again. and any idea of price??? many thanks

Yea sound about rite then fits but its not really easy to get over the final pully

thanks for that. well i seem to have the smaller pully on the alternator so guess the short belt is the one i need then

Evening all can any one tell me if there are 2 different belts that would fit a 1996 300 tdi engine as recently i replaced the bearing in the tentioner and fitted a new belt while i was there as the old one was a bit well alot ruined!! the new one that turned up was much tighter than the old one to get on. Now i know the old one could have strecthed and thats fine but within a week of doing the belt my alternator bearings failed in a big way at the weekend leaving me stuck on the side of the road so got the alternator fixed today and just wanna know if there is a choice of belts that may fit my engine and the place just guessed on one and its to short maybe many thanks

Afternoon everyone Does any one know if a 300 tdi pas pump is rebuildable? If so where can parts be brought from and are they worth doing? Just noticed there is about half an inch of movement forward and back on the pully so im guessing there is something quite wrong inside!!! thanks

Well its always worth an ask and when the workshop comsumables bloke came round thought it give him a try for some decent cable and he said "hang on think i might have just the stuff you need" had a hunt round his van and fished out a reel of 10m of some big cable not sure of size but its bigger than whats between the motor and solenoid that it came with so quite big,and fine multi strand and very flexible Then came the price it started to sound bad,him giving it the well i dont get this in very often and its special order,and im thinking i best go sit down then it turned to well its old stock now and been kicking around for a while likeing it so far!!!! "hows 30 quid sound?" he says well i now have all new wire everywhere to the warn and it pulls really well gave the boss lady at work a shock as i pulled her freelander backards across the yard with it in park and the handbrake on awsome just need to get out and use it properly now :D :D :D

the bast%£&s

ok guess the bridge must be wrong then thought it sounded a bit high and if a 110 with big tyres and all that comes in at that there is no way a 90 could come in at 2400kg surly

it has an internal eaternal cage and front winch its been converted to disco running gear and engine box ect a small tool box with a few tools in for emergency repairs and probably some mud stuck in the chassis and thats about it

but it was empty and i was gonna fit a rear winch and some tube wing bars so its gonna weigh more than the max laden weight when its empty

ok now im worried as i took a scrap trailer to be weighed in today and on the way out of the yard i pulled back on to the weigh bridge and they weighed me out to sort out how much the trailer and scrap were worth and the print out read as my truck alone came out at 2400kg just to be clear i left the trailer there as it was scrap so just my truck parked on the bridge :o
