Finally sorted the soft clutch after replacing the gearbox, new bracket and Slave Cylinder was needed so installed those, and while I was there, fixed a horrible squeal that we had on start, tightening the alternator, what a lovely start now 😂...

Today I investigated the propshaft vibration I was experiencing at 55+ mph. I whipped off the front half and found that the front CV joint was pretty rattly. Eureka I thought, that'll be it. Went for a quick spin with the rear half still on and...

sorry .. :oops: ..👍 i should have stated 'td4' .. thread header fixed now .

Used this when I replaced my gearbox, and actually used it and some brute strength to remove the engine, problem I came across is that the engine sits very far forward in the engine bay and so you end up with the having to pull the engine...

Hoovered the boot out… I collected enough to make another fox-red lab, if anyone is interested 🙄

100% The shape of the chisel I ended up having to use a pry bar make the gap between the UJ and bolt tint slam the thing in that smack it as hard as possible into the bolt to slightly move it, bit by bit, honestly might just buy another propshaft...

Last time I worked on a prop shaft I had to use a sledge hammer on the chisel as the gentle tapping shown in the video had zero effect. I needed a new bolt too but the most important thing is the shape of the chisel.

Well done for getting them apart. I think that must be the most linked to video by a long way in the Freelander section of LZ. Separating the props really is a case of absolute maximum aggression with a chisel and heavy hammer - and hope the...

When I first got my old F1, I took it to the guys in the video to have a new VCU fitted, along with new bearings. It's a long trip to their base in Suffolk from Kent, but worth it. They did the job while I waited in their office (with lots of...

Finally got around to those whirring VCU Bearings.... Oh Boy I hope I never have to do that again... The Middle to rear shaft popped off without issue... The Front to Mid? What a story. I started off by just me and a friend pulling. No Luck, so...

The brake shields on mine are a right old jaggedy mess. It'll be going in for MOT in a week or so, so I'll report back on what the outcome is. Mind you, the last test at the same "strict" Council workshops I've used for years gave me a pass...

I see the issue here 😂 You're assuming a UK MOT Makes sense! It does not 🤷‍♂️ (If it causes a safety issue it will likely fail an MOT, safety is Braking, Steering, Controlling and Airbags / Seatbelts)

Take out your illegal spare for the Mot. Get caught trying to get home on an illegal spare. Choice is yours 🤔. Buy a new trye? J

I suppose the logic there is if you get a flat or breakdown you get it towed but if you have a bald spare people would rather install an illegal tire than get a tow 🤷‍♂️

£25 a pair and £15 fitting! 😂

One more thing that you will defo need… ask @xDParis64 if you can borrow his fluffy dice to hang off the mirror 😁

Collectors item now. 70's memorabilia

I'll ignore the fluffy dice !

Finally took this damned thing Greenlaning and what a day it was! Guess mine could do with a wash now too...

Point it at the sun next time it shines.
