    Door card help on a 90

    How do you get the door cards off whilst trying to keep them intact! Is there a guide somewhere. It had electric windows, so no window winder to mess around with.

    Timing chain or belt?

    Thanks for the confirmation! Usually chains are for life on most engines I believe. So I take it the chain is internal as well? And are all TD5 engines chain driven?

    TD5 Steering Box

    Replaced mine yesterday funnily enough. A recon box from a local LR parts seller. Great guy he was. Also helped us out remove the coolant pipes to drop the thing out. It was £260. Works a treat now.

    TD5 steering box drop arm

    I have been trying to remove the 18mm nut on one end of the drop arm. It has got all the way to the end but now the thread spins with it. I am pretty sure that there is an allen key slot, I am assuming allen key anyway, on the top of the thread. Does anyone know what size it is?

    Vague/loose feeling steering wheel.

    Thanks for the help! The tyre pressures are fine and the tracking has been corrected which improved it a little. The first thing we did when we bought it was have the ACE system replaced as it was faulty and we thought it was the problem. This improved things, but it didn't fix it. I have...

    Thanks for the help. I may have to do this soon. Was your disco steering very unresponsive? And wandering around? Is that the result of a leaking steering box?
