yeh i've done quite a few with the fork thats fecked but normally the pedal is hard and stays hard and doesn't work one minuite then does another

most of us know that the ball in the bell housing pushes through the release arm and the pedal goes hard. Thats the same feeling that i'm getting on the pedal with very little or no movement when I try to depress it but not everytime:confused: just been out in it and done about 6 mile to the...

cars now back with me and steering damper removed. Feels same as the front shockers in that is has resistance for the full stroke both ways! Anyway renewed it, checked swivle pre load, double checked front shocks, TRE's , prop u/j's etc and everything seams good to go. Out on the road and...

you need to first remove the warning lamp relay [underdash n/s near abs ecu with a shed load more] then bridge pins 4 and 15 in the data link plug. Light will then flash the fault codes. Remove the bridge to while it's flashing to clear the code. If the light is now out i would think that what...

yeh i have one somewhere but can I find it can I fook. I did load it onto my pc but the bloody thing won't run without the disc in [don't know if this is right as my pc is crap] If any has it would they be kind enough to look it up for me. It may mates car and he's 100 mile away so I can't nip...

having a bit of bother with an abs system on a 300. I'm I right in thinking that the earth points are numbered. From the wiring diagram I am looking at there are two earths from the ecu 1 to EP1 and another to EP5. What it doesn't tell me is the loaction of these points, am I going to have to...

Oh Paul it only takes a sec to flick through some of the treads on here and you will see that they don't take any prisoners. I'm new to the forum have have already seen it, they have daily hanggings at dawn! Having said that I go on several forums [other topics work etc] and to be fair this is...

On a 300 the abs can be checked manually. You need to remove the relay, bridge a pair of wires in the data link and the dash will flash a fault code. I'm sure some one on here will be able to tell you which wires to bridge but if not PM me and I will look it up for ya.

I used to fit towbars for a living and the max if my memory serves me right was 50mm. However it's a while since I was in the trade and laws and guide lines change. I have just had a quick look and can't find a 50mm spacer which possibly means that it's no longer allowed. I would speak to some...

once had a front uj fail on a p38, at 80 on the motor way. It was the front end of the front prop so it fell down to the road and dug in. Result was it pushed the transfer box back and everything bolted to it back wards so hard that the engine hit the bulk head and ripped the hoses from the rad...

My twin axle van weights 1750 and i currently tow it with a tdi disco but I had a 2.5D p38 which towed it better than the disco!

I belive all the landrover range is 3500kg defenders, discos and range rovers. This is something that has had me thinking a few times, anyone know is this way? The law says you can't tow more than the cars limit which on most cars is not more than the kerb weight of the tow car is's self. The...

yeh, bottom between my feet and pulled and shoved and felt fine. I had however already purchased the new um's so on they went regardless. [shocks only not the steering damper]

i had one that used to do that, a touch of easy start and off it went then was fine all day. Changed a shed load of thing and still the same till one day the starter packed in, proberbly due to all the extra hammer it was getting in the mornings. Replaced started and it started first time every...

Hi tottot yes mate just seen it. As I said both front shocks were renewed and to be fair when the old ones came off there didn't seam much wrong with them. I know it's hard to tell for sure but they did seam to have their full damping effect, it won't hurt to take a look though. A few people...

TRE's new swivle pins had new bearings wheel bearing not that old but no play or noise streering damper hmm could well be, just ordered one! cheers gratch

Hi all I have a 96 disco that I have a problem with and can't seam to get to the bottom of it. It's hard to put into words what it does but I'll give it a go. 99% of the time its fine but then every now and then I get a vibration that feels like a wheel balancing problem only 100 times worse...
