"Guides" maybe I should have used these. The head was still in the engine bay! Maybe I'm just crap at getting bolts out lol.. hopefully the next broken bolt will be easier! Oil pump bolt at the weekend, after I rebuild the rocker end of business. Let's see how the cross member bolts come out...

I did see a little thing about spark eroding on the Web whilst looking through my options. But then I've got the labour of stripping down and getting the cylinder head out, fitting kit and having the job done. All good and well and it's a brilliant thing if you got the time and cash. . I have...

Damn you lucky people!

Good work viz! Good result also! Wish mine came out the easy.. I had put around 5-6 hours labour into trying to drill them out.

I have 255 55 18 malatesta koala.. nice tyres, remoulds so there a little cheaper but I'm not happy with the ride as the car wanders a little bit and I'm wanting a better off road ride too so I'm swapping to 16's.. but whatever wheel suits you best. I'm happy with the malatesta. Had generals at...

Evening lads, sorry for the time lapse, been at it again this weekend and here's the tale so far.. I tried left hand spiral drill bits, 3, 5 and 7 mm, 1 of the bolts back out no problem after drilling for only a few seconds. But the other 2 didn't budge. I found it extremely hard to drill down...

Bloody marvelous!! Thanks for all the Intel.. got a couple of issues to rectify this weekend and I will see if the bank will allow some 16 Inch wheels and MT's.. silver modulars are coming to mind ;) See what happens in the next off road saga.. Oh and a dress the 3 amigos issue. Maybe a...

Maybe it could be the tc. Very good point. The drivers rear wheel was jammed well inside the arch and the front passenger wheel was off the ground. Despite giving the old girl some good Rev's.. she wasn't going over. Had to reverse out and change driving line.. So I was asking about suspension...

OK lads, that's some really intelligent stuff to read there. 300bhp you really seem to know your stuff on this.. So I have a disco 2, with 18 inch wheels. And I got stuck on the axle twister at yarwell which raised questions in my mind. So am I right I thinking that if I change to 16 Inch...

I would certainly suggest changing the bolts to anyone undertaking any work involving them. A bolt like that shouldn't break but they do:mad: Well step one of the weekend, left hand drills. Got some engineering ones. So should be half right. Step two, deep extractors, as in the pic on this...

Thankyou for the input on this one lads, shame it's getting towards winter and I only have weekends to work it over. I had a feeling it may result in taking off the head, if so and I then split it away from the cam carrier section, would that help me get closer to broken bolts? Also I've been...

Thankyou Jamesmartin.. do you know where I might get a set like that?

Well in this week's antics, 3 of the 6 rocker shaft bolts snapped leaving the threaded part in the cylinder head. I've had a little play with drill the first one but that's a terribly slow process and is hardly making a impression. Using easy outs extractor type jobs will not work as the...

Well I made a start this weekend at doing the injector seals but.... the rocker shaft bolts! That's right 3 of 6 have snapped off inside the cylinder head or where ever the darn things bolt into!! Kind of feeling like I'm in the **** now, a extractor ain't long enough to get down there, don't...

Jeepyzone.co.uk..

Well I couldn't get that price for genuine ones when I was searching. Bit of a bummer but not to worry. It's like Christmas when something goes wrong to the ye olde d2, I get some many parcels haha.. I got the slide hammer as I am a little heavy handed and really don't want to damage a...

Not a 100% sure on this but judging from my previous research into this matter I think the 2 inch spacers shouldn't need much more, only the dampers. The geometry of the car stays within its limitations at a 2 inch lift. I could be wrong here but that's my understandings

Cheers johnlad, I will keep the seats clean but I did order oem quality washers and rings, thirty something quid from Lrs off road in my town of Doncaster! Guy in there said he's never had a problem with the oem's.... Waiting to take deliver on a slide hammer now. Didn't fancy the actual td5...

OK folks, I'm going to chance the seals and washers, I can't argue against 3 votes. I will order immediately :) I will check the other bits I mentioned and leave some feedback just for the info if anyone reads. Cheers chaps

Bloody marvelous Sierra, thank you very much
