    Disco 2 Front bumper cracked

    I had colour coded gaffer tape on mine for years until a minor bump, shatered it, not worth repairing as it was so brittle, so I opted for a 5mm steel one, if yours did the same its just years of sun damage, well Ivery happy with this one

    If you decide to Shame & Name them, then that would at least stop anyone else getting similar treatment, not to mention a drop in their income from no customers willing to trust them anymore

    Gear grind after 1/2 chassis

    HI Wonky, I cant see where your from, but if you add your region on your profile you may find someone close who would be willing to help you do it, but its not rocket science to bleed a clutch, generally its best with 2, on pushing the peddle and one doing the bleeding, if you are bleed from...

    Gear grind after 1/2 chassis

    the Brake pipes replacement have nothing to do with the clutch, bleeding the clutch can be difficult, so when you press the peddle were does it bite, if at the very bottom I would say in needs bleeding as you may have air in it, did they remove the gear box and TC box to fit the new 1/2 chassis...

    Disco 2 driver side track rod ball joint part number and replacement

    The disco has two adjustable ball joint one on the drag link, and one on the tie bar the second one on the tie bar is not always adjustable, so you need to replace the completed tie bar if one side fails

    Steering box alignment disco 2

    Watch this, but remember it for a car with a steering rack, so they need to adjust both track rod ends on the rack, were on a D2 you adjust one track rod end on the Drag link and one track rod end on the Tie bar

    Steering box alignment disco 2

    well maybe but, as soon as you connect it to the pitman arm it all need's checking again as even as few mm out of centre that you cant feel on the sterring wheel would then pull it all out of alignment, maybe one parallel, one toe out, you put it on the greased tin plated to make it easy to...

    Steering box alignment disco 2

    Yes the Drag link, primarily only adjust the offside front wheel, in doing so will in affect move the nearside out of alignment, so it needs to be the first wheel that is adjusted, if you do the near side first, then the offside, this will move the nearside out of adjustment and will need to be...
