Did you buy it?

I'll take some photos later for you. Again mine has no trim so should be able to show you stuff.

I changed the front hubs on my 300. I can't remember what I bought - probably just the cheapest - all they are is a big lump of steel.

So long as it spins without conflict, I can't see an issue. We are talking the ones that hold the locking / adjustment plate on the front, right? Iirc on the 300 the edge of the flange runs very close to the edge of the hole in the timing case cover.

As an example, these on eBay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186764798337 The gap between the holes and the ridge is there and I can't see a significant ridge around the bead. Would these be original and tubeless? (I'm not buying them - I'm just using them as an example)

...is it that the holes are touching the fold on the non OEM ones and there's a bit of a web between the holes and the bend on the OEM?

I'm not the most observant (my partner does the quality control on my work as I just don't see things) but, to me, I can't see what you're seeing between the two photos. Can you point out "wheres wally" to me?

The nicest option would be one of the vdo ones with an electronic sender, like the 300 disco. No more jumpy needle either. They're about £170 though. Maybe even more. But, to answer your question, there's certainly a website somewhere with photos of all the drives and descriptions. I just...

Exactly. The chap has confirmed its cranking. The only relay in the (electrical) area has been confirmed working. I edited the post to be clear that I didn't know if the alarm section somehow fed back to the immobilizer section, but, irrespective of that, a wire to the stop solenoid is the...

Note the alarm / immobilizer on the 300 was so rubbish that, iirc, landrover even gave a part number to the bypass loom. Years ago I had a disco with a 300 that would occasionally fail to start (in this case it was the starter as well as the fuel solenoid, but I guess they can fail in different...

Have a look at the attached screen grab - You're looking at the middle section (it's just a grab from my phone and I can't be bothered to crop it) There's the "ECU engine immobilizer" section on the right hand side. This was probably removed years ago as they were rubbish and would stop no...

Did you just say - Am I reading this wrong? You say it starts with the relay removed? Surely that tells you something? Basically, stop messing about with the relay and run a wire direct to the stop solenoid (also referred to as the fuel solenoid). I know you're convinced it's the relay...

A non EDC 300tdi needs electricity to a grand total of "2" things to start - The starter motor (which you have confirmed is running) and The fuel solenoid on the injection pump. Yours may be an EDC - I don't know. I've made the assumption that it's not, possibly incorrectly. If it isn't an...

They can also do a real frustrating thing where they do open, but then, if there's other stuff going on, they can close again when it's cranking.... And then open again when you stop cranking.

Have someone sit in the car, and turn the key - not to cranking, but just before. Whilst they do this, put your ear close to the injection pump. Do you hear a click from the back of the injection pump as they turn the key? If the engine cranks, it's a fuel or air issue (or lack of...

I'm casually looking for a set, and I'm relaxed enough on time scales that I may as well get genuine. What are the indicators as to "authenticity" when I'm browsing face book market place in the middle of the night? I'm in no rush and am happy to chuck some sand / not sand in my clemco, so...

It's funny how their rep went that way. Were they ever good or was it just a copy of the "lanoguard" advertising campaign?

I have had a bit of a go. Plenty of mentions but not a lot of (or any, but I'm sure someone will now search better than me and make me look a fool!) of people actually saying "I run like this and it's fine"

It's not so much how to do it, but more if it's a good idea...

I dont have the direct link to hand but Ashcroft certainly mention removing the half shafts oil seal if you're fitting flanges with screw on caps. I assume someone here has done just that? Any feedback on the results? The reason I ask is that I went to replace the half shafts today and one...
