[1991 Disco owners manual]

I have a bit of an uncommon 1991 Disco in Canada. Im trying to clarify what the heater controls do. 

This car doesnt have a/c. Ive read that the 4 vents along the dash(at face/chest level) only blow unheated air

I have hot water going to and from the heater core but only luke warm air coming out the foot / windscreen vents

[series 2a marker, turn and brake lights]

All the current lights available that ive found online are for a 33.4mm hole. The holes in my panel are 31.7

 

[series 2a marker, turn and brake lights]

I think i may have figured it out

The early marker lights are no longer available

no big deal. 

But holes in bodywork for earlier lights are too small for newer style lights. So its cutting time!

[series 2a marker, turn and brake lights]

Hi

I have an early S2A. I need all 8 marker, turn and brake lights.

I bought a set of  aftermarket lights and went to install them and found that they wont fit in the holes in the bodywork. I googled the original part numbers and they are no longer available. Can someone help me with some part numbers that will work for my car?

Thank you

Great, thank you

I wanted to make sure, hate doing things wrong, gets expensive

Sorry to revive an old thread

When i removed the PTO cover, I didnt see a nut on the main shaft holding the input gear (FTC5087) onto the shaft even though the shaft is threaded

I cant see a nut for this in my parts manual

Is there a nut holding this gear in place?

Thank you

[disco 1 rear axle, seal question]

yes, sorry, typo

 

[disco 1 rear axle, seal question]

Id like to thank everyone for their help

Ive put it back together with the inner seal and am looking for a deal on speedi seal for later install

Cheers

[disco 1 rear axle, seal question]

I have two issues with that.

How high up are you tilting the car to be able the fill the diff with enough oil to get the fluid high enough level?

The area on the stub axle that the outer seal rides on has a slight groove. Speedi seals are $65 each!

I would buy new stub axles but im in canada and getting killed on freight charges. I need a windscreen and was quoted $1200 for shipping alone!

[disco 1 rear axle, seal question]

i had hoped to run oil on the bearings instead of grease but may not be worth the trouble

[disco 1 rear axle, seal question]

I assumed the wheel bearings would be oil filled as there were no oil seals in the axle tubes

[disco 1 rear axle, seal question]

sorry, i got the terms wrong

outer seal #11 makes sense. Inner seal #15 i dont understand the purpose

[disco 1 rear axle, seal question]

I have an early disco with no seal inside the axle tube. Diff oil lubes the wheel bearings. The inner hub seal stops oil from leaking out of the hub

So far, so good!

What is the point of the outer hub seal(#15 in attached pic)? Oil should flow from the diff, axle tube then the hub

Is Britpart still considered below par?

[lt77 dreaded spline wear,]

Chasing a clunk in the drivetrain, i found the splines on the output shaft of the gearbox worn. Unfortunate as this  transfer case is the "G" model which has the uprated gear

So gearbox needs to be torn apart. Might as well do clutch while box is out.

Any recommendations on a clutch/friction plate? 

Anything else i should change now?

Thank you

[Discovery 1 brake pad retaining pins]

Hi

It looks like there are two styles of retaining pins for the brake pads

A split pin with clips or a straight pin with springs. Is one type better than another? Are they interchangable?

Thanks in advance

 

 

[disco 1 swivel pin housing seal]

i rebult the swivel hubs with the 12mm style hubs. No leaks, so it seems the 8 and 12mm hubs are interchangeable

 

[disco 1 swivel pin housing seal]

I worked for a transport company many years ago and they converted all the old highway trailers from grease to oil hubs on the axles.

Ive heard of modern semi liquid greases on the market now but ill stick with oil

 

[disco 1 swivel pin housing seal]

im swaping the RHD 91 disco to LHD

I have a LHD hub from an RRC. Everything appears the same except the seal is 12mm on the RRC hub and 8 mm on the Disco hub.

Will I be okay to use the RRC hub with a 12mm seal with the remaining Disco axle parts?

 

 

[disco 1 swivel pin housing seal]

Hi

I have to remove my swivel pin housing and its got an 8mm seal

The housing im replacing it with has a 12mm seal. Are they interchangeable and the swivel balls the same? I only need to use the proper 12mm seal?

 

Thank you

[1/4 clutch hydraulic fitting, 1991 disco]

ive checked and the 91 metric Disco has a 7/16 UNF clutch hose!

[1/4 clutch hydraulic fitting, 1991 disco]

Thanks Griff, no luck there

[1/4 clutch hydraulic fitting, 1991 disco]

HI

Im looking for the metric female nut for the 1/4 steel line to the clutch hose

Ive found the parts manual lists the steel line assembly, not the individual fittings

Thank you

[3 door disco seat issue]

Hi

Just a heads up to any 3 door disco owners

The drivers seat was a bit "loose". I found the pivot shaft welds had broken from the seat frame and the bushings had seized up. The checked the passenger seat and found the welds had also broken but bushings hadnt seized yet.

I welded them up with bigger beads.

Cool, thank you
