It doesn't need an earth. It has a handbrake. :D:D:D

sounds like grub screw 's come loose on selector in top of box.
allows selector to wobble backwards and forwards. will only get worse :eek:


Oooo ****, don't like the sound of that, sounds important. When is it located and is it just a case of tightening it up?

under the housing held on with 6 bolts, where the shaft goes in top of box.
lifts off when bolts out, grub screw locates in a hole in shaft.
disco bolts can be awkward to access, fender not sure about but floor easier to remove.
dunno which you have!

under item 3.
item 6 has the grub screw, item 4 has the hole.
 
Fitted catch can and new air hoses to and from turbo on 1989 TD.

Around £50 for the lot, looks much better IMO.

Pleased with it.

Dropped the tranny oil - all half a mugful!! Nowt suspect on the drain plug! :yay:

Replaced with noo 80/90 - much more funnily enough!

Also did same to front diff, lots more black stuff out, not watery, but nice and thick. Replaced with noo!

No leaks after a 10 mile pootle home from the yard - tranny lots quieter, but still jumped out of hi once - pondering looking at that grub screw mentioned earlier!!
 
Decided to do rear wheel bearings.
Whilst stripping noticed pads were fubared and one of the wheel nuts was rounded (muppet at tyre place I reckon)
So nipped over to Craddocks for some pads and a few spare wheel nuts before carrying on.
Remembered to jet wash it first this time, much easier ;)
