Hi all
I took the Landy on a trip from Essex to Wales a couple of weeks ago..... on the way home, the old girl developed a bit of a screech from what I thought was a wheel bearing.
Got it up in the air yesterday to find both sides seemed fine. I changed the drivers side anyway as I already had the bearing set and it did have a bit of movement (even though a touch of adjustment would have probably done).
Got it back together and test drove to find the same issue. Its not all the time, but its getting more constant. Sounds like a race that's slipping rather than flowing if you know what I mean? But its got to the stage where people are looking as you drive down the road!
Anyone got any ideas where I should be looking if its not the wheels? This is my first Landrover so not particularly knowledgable on the set up.
On a side note... when I took the brake drum off I found a spring had popped off and the brake adjuster peg had fallen off of the pad! Put back together and adjusted the wheel up but on the test drive found that the pedal goes to floor on the first pump before bitting with the second. There was no break in the hydraulic system so am not expecting there to be air in there. It worked fine before I put the bits back where they should be, Help! lol
Cheers
