My Britpart cellular dynamic shocks only did a couple of thousand miles before they gave up.

So, I had to move the old Disco so I could do some strimming, but found the key fob wouldnt open the doors. Luckily one of the rear doors locks is knackered, so I still had a way in. None of the fobs would open the deadlocked doors, so found some...

That's exactly why it's recommended to fit genuine only when it comes to a TD5 tensioner.

Cheap enough, so no big deal. You're right though, jobs always get bigger than you think.

What's wrong with your seats, you can get refurb kits and they are comfy enough.

Nope. 135Nm(ish) does fine, never come loose and I can undo the wheel nuts with my Makita buzz gun. I have my torque wrench set to 135Nm but I always seem to go a bit over.

Or ATF.

I tried converting it to mm but it seems like such a tiny amount it's not worth the worry.

So you don't use the recommended 170nm on your Wolf wheels?

I thought it was recommended to use genuine.

ÀTF fluid isn't it?

I'm a bit undecided about the idea of fitting locking wheel nuts. My son would like to fit some but I'm concerned about fitting them and using 170nm of torque on them, seems like a recipe for disaster. What do we think?

Do you know what the torque setting is for the standard steel wheels?

I believe that they are.

My original TD5 drop arm had a notch in it and also the replacement has the notch in it.

One rear wheel is negative toe and the other is positive toe which suggest the rear axle is very slightly out if whack. That's how I read it anyway.

Seems like no one thought it was worth that much.

How come the rear toe is out of spec? I know it's not adjustable.

They are from me 👍

Yes the Foxwell is OBD2 compliant but you need the dedicated software for it to work correctly on the TD5. But you can also use it for obd2 compliant vehicle, if any of that makes any sense...... probably not!

Yep, its got drums on the rear.

Blimey they're not cheap.

Our Foxwell works OK for reading live data. Maybe it's not down on power, maybe you have massive oversized wheels and tyres and expecting too much. Remember its not OBD2 compliant.

I meant for the under powered comment.

Aha, my memory served me well. Many thanks.

Well, it would have been nice if he had mentioned the non start was fixed and I could have saved the 15 secs it took me to write my post.

I am thinking you will be needing to buy an appropriate scanning tool.

Alloys are going to be replaced by fake Wolf wheels. It's on a 1989 Ninety, whatever spline that is, will have to check.

Yep, but.. You need to make sure they match up with your age of half shafts (spline number) so don't just buy the exact ones linked to, as that may not be the right code. Getting the seal out of the rear axel isn't complex but it's not a 5 min...

Yes, 170NM (i've got the MOD document somewhere too).
