Early and late HP24 boxes can be fitted to the diesel using the diesel bell housing. Later HP24's use the same case as the HP 22 and both have a spacer between the auto box and the transfer box to make them the same length as the early HP24. The...

when you first start up the slack is taken up and a noise is heard and then it settles down till either the engine is stopped and moves the damper the other way and will maybee make noise again on staetup. try turning the fan one way or the...

my cranshaft damper sounded like the adjuster pulley bearing was let go and the reason i found it was the front pulley damper was that you could turn the fan and the front pulley would turn without the cranshaft turning until the dog clutch...

talking about injections i am just going to get a rabies inoculation becaue im going back to Australia via Ethiopia, Madagaska Reunion Dubia and Singapore. Ethiopia is one where rabies is high risk. i booked in for a consultation and got a phone...

the FIP is quite easy and there are a few videos on u tube showing you how but you do need some special sockets and a impact wrench to undo the screws.

The timing chains can be renewed in situ but you do need a good 22 mm socket and about a 2 meter bar to get the nut undone on the front pulley and i use a bar to hold the crank rather than just rel.y on the timing pin to hold it

when i pressed out the bearing on my front hub instead of the hub being pressed through the bearing it pressed out the circlip and thats when it started to get hard as i could not get anything between the bearing and the hub to press it out and...

the circlip that is in the wheel bearing hub is 100mm or 4 inches indiameter and is an internal one (that is the size that is on my discovery 3 I have just measured a new one that i will be fitting when i get back to Australia)

Did you check the wheel bearing play as that might have caused the clips to pull through the shoes

that looks like the circlip that holds the hub bearing in the front or rear hub housing are you sure the scaping noise is not a wheel bearing colasped and the brake disc rubbing on the caliper bolts

In my discovery 3 TDV6 owners manual is suggest that you run the engine at above 3000 rpm for about 20 min to burn out the acumulated carbon but dont park over dry grass

After spending some time thinking about designing a tool to hold the fan to undo it in the end i went and got a piece of steel13mm x 3mm x260mm long and it did the job one hit and the fan was off now all i got to do is wait for new pulley or...

Yes its the same as my other one and that comes off easily now with a 32 mm spanner and a club hammer

there is a metal ring in the inlet pipe over the engine where the pipe goes into the plastic ipe that goes to the turbo. see photos
