Hey Mr Noisy, was just wondering as you did a simaler job to what I have to do on your axle (change spring mount) what type of welder you used. I'm pretty new to welding I have a small mig that I have quickly (very quickly) out grown and am thinking of getting somethingg stronger with gas thats...

Thanks for tips mr noisy, puts me in good stead. I will definately stick with 200tdi motors. To be honest theirs nothing wrong with my motor just preparing for when there is. Its an 18 year old car after all... Definately gonna look for a 300tdi gearbox, and will change the input gear on the...

Hi Guys does anyone know if the chasis is the same on a LHD to a RHD, I can see the bulk head is the same on the body, is it possible to just reverse the interior and swap the steering gear. Thanks Jim

Thanks for the tips mr noisy. I think I'll look for a 300tdi gearbox then, sound likle it makes sense. Its ok for the 200tdi transfer to fit the 300tdi gearbox? I probably will need to shift my back axle not because of mechanics but because of rust! Again think I'll look for a 300tdi...

Hi Guys, I'm looking for some tips and wondering if anyone knows. I'm not terrably impressed with the lt77 transmission in my 200tdi. I heard the later 300tdi trany is better. I see people advertising berg worner gear boxes are these any good? What is the best manual transmission, and...

I've rescently purchased my first Landy and it clearly has been used off road probably in a swamp by the looks of things. I have been preparing it for winter (i live in norway) so doing all the usuall mechanical servicing and as I've just got it I've been poking around underneath. I have...

Thanks for the help guys yes thats exactly the part I need! I will check the trailing arm mounts too though I think there ok. Great to know theres a part to fix my problem anyways!

also the bump stop doesnt exist... the orriginal has fell off a long time ago. I have bought new but the retainer for it has rusted away. Is this common or do I just have a rust bag! Have people fabbed a new bump stop retainer before. Its bizzare as the body and chasis is generally in very...

Ok so have set about changing the rear springs and shocks. Got the old ones out no problem. allthough spring retainers very rusty and obviously need relacing. However problem is axle mounts the bits the spring retainer and spring seat bolt too have rusted through. Is this common? Anyone have any...

Sorry to hear your disco is leaning seams starnge that it happened immediately after replacing the spring, must be something else if it was ok for 18 months so cant think that adding a spacer will help. Cant really help you on that one to be honest as dont hav ethe experience with this mod...

Ok so quite the mixed response from people on lifting the landy....well its certainly giving me cold feet. I must admit I have had numerous very capable jap offroaders and lived in africa and oz and done allot of expedition and bush work. With all these vehicles when we have replaced the...

Well its too late now I've ordered the kit, maybe I should have stuck with normal, though it does look a bit of a girl next to my girlfriends pajero! I just thaught as I was replacing the suspension I should go for the mild 2" lift. I have had a string of LC's and Nissans and whenever you...

Hi Just bought a disco 1, has a bit of a saggy arse and want to run 245/75/16 tyres so thinking about new springs/shocks. Thinking should I go with a 2" lift. If I buy the springs what else will I need as essentials. For example do I need longer shocks, do I need longer brake hoses, do I need...

Hi ok first question: does anyone know how to adjust if its possible? the speedo to be correctly callabrated to the new larger tyre dimension. Doesnt really bother me but just trying to make the car legal, and unfortunately in Norway modifications such as larger tyres must be registered to...

Thanks for the tips, I allready ordered myself a haynes a few days ago, got to wait for it to arrive though. On my transbox theres definately 3 holes, as I filled in the top hole on the left side whilst facing vehicle forward direction) untill it came out the hole at the back by the brake, and...

Ok Guru's Had the disco for a week, so far so good. Just been changing the oils and lubricants. Couldnt find any how too's so guess you fill to the top of the filler holes (like on any other car) on the diffs, transfer, and gearbox. Saw there was two filler holes on the transfer, so I filled...

ok so I'm trying to buy parts and you often see part for up to ja018272 or from ja018273 I guess this relates to the chasis number. I've checked mine and it doesnt seam to relate to the codes offered on paddocks. How do you use this? my chasis code ends with ha477014, (i presume this is the...

Hey Mr Noisy I think your probably correct. I've checked everything and cant fand any obvious problems so probably just wear. I'll change the oils today and see if it improves at all. If not will probably attempt to service transfer box and front diff. Is this very complicated? or expensive. I'm...

I'm not worried about replacing the UJ's not a big job. However what I didnt make clear is the play seams to be not in the prop shaft (there is some play in the PS but its a few mm max) The majority of the play seams to be in the transfer and front diff. I mean you can twist the PS which remains...

The majority of the play seams to be in the sliding section of the propshaft itself, and there is allot of movement back and forth (side to side) when you twist the propshaft at both the axle and centre , is this normal? Meaning you can twist the p shaft almost 1/4 turn before you feel it begins...
