Hi my landy failed MOT for "Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirty Nearside Front", MOT tester showed me aged and broken covers. I see there are split covers on ebay...

What type and size fit it?

Thanks StanleySteamer! It makes sense

Hi, I found one of D2 rear brake guide screws has been worn out, any good suggestions to remove it, if I have to drill out, do I need one for safety? Thanks!

Recently I got ACE amber warning light on in normal drive, and after I restarted engine it was gone. Last time happened a few months ago. Nanocom indicates "Fault 33--06 direction control valve fault", I changed ACE fluid and filter 4-5 years ago, should I change them again or leave them, or ACE...

When I removed the hub, I should have jacked up it higher than other side, otherwise the lubricant would not have flew out along the shaft. I don’t see some one mentioned it. Maybe lubricant is contained in ball housing for 1.6L capacity. I saw some part of O-ring was flat or came off the hub...

Yes sierraferry. I just blew, it seems ok. I also checked two years ago. I have slided out the shaft, and looked into axle, I can see diff gears and slide the shaft back, twist it, it is tight, it seems engaged. I have lost 100-200 ml lubricant. I changed the lubricant two years ago, it seems...

I have slided out the hub, but it looks like axle leaking? Because it is not dry as someone’s. Or is it caused by shaft drive shift for pulling the hub?

Thanks! Fortunately a builder nearby gave me 2 meters scaffold to make it. I heard a break noise and thought my breaker bar was broken. However it is still intact:D

I just tried undoing the nut with 30” breaker bar, I think it is over 490nm. But it was too stubborn to loosen it even if I jumped up and down on the breaker bar. Any suggestions? like heating up it with torch and hammering it around, not sure if it would damage drive shaft or hub.

Thanks Stanley! I am not sure if you have undone and done 1-1/4" hub nut using 1/2" hex drive 30" breaker. I found this one can do max 512NM...

I can undo all bolts but abs sensor one, I used 3/16 Allen key, it slipped, is there a special tool to undo it? It seems possible to slide out the hub without removing slack abs wire or by unplugging its other end.

Thanks! I just found another thread says loctite 648 should be used on shaft spline, it is bonding other than lubricating. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/discovery-2-2004-td5-landmark-rear-hub-nut-torque.348751/

Thank you for your info. If it is grease leak, do I have to replace the hub or simply add general grease to the hub? BTW do you smear copper grease on shaft spline?

When I was replacing the rear brake pads yesterday, I found my o/s hub was wet and some black grease on the pad but the caliper was dry. Does it mean the rear hub or its O-ring seal needs replaced, or leak from axis oil? please see attached pics. Thanks!

I tried to turn key to ignition 2, then shift to R, they were flashing sometimes, but never happened on starting engine. More often happened a while after driving, then stopped, shifted to R or D. When it happened, only D red lights and led were flashing apart of green flashing. No red lights...

Hi, I am in the middle of removing my xyz switch, I found the selector shaft is a bit rusty, I wonder if removing shaft nut (anti-clock) by much force would damage the shaft or inside gear box. I have oiled it using penetrating oil. BTW, in order to have access to one of two switch nuts, do I...

Thanks! I have looked up loom wiring from under the car, there is access plate, but put back access plate could be big challenge. I can feel the wiring and P clip nut, removing P clip nut might be main job if from under, it seems there is space to use a spanner + extension. Has anyone removed P...

Thank you for your comments. After observations for a long time, I see only D and red lights of shift on D are flashing as well. My MOT failed for fog light last month, when I fixed it, I found all fog and reverse lights were 1/2 or 1/3 bright than normal at same time, I saw it one time by...
