    Lost my bearings - stuck race!

    Fcuk me, that's a mess. Who does your maintenance and servicing? Suggest changing mechanic. Re' bearing race, a good sharp cold chisel and a 4lb lump hammer will do the job. Then give your hubs a thorough clean up, a coat of acid etch primer, a few coats of paint and a full rebuild...both sides.

    1996 Defender 90 300 tdi - Houston we have lift-off - Oh Dear No We Don't :( 'Lift Out'

    I'd pull the engine for easier/better access and they re-install very easily lining up on spigot and dowels/threads. It's horses for courses, you choose.

    It seems someone drained the main gearbox oil case on my puma 90 2007 2.4. Damage assessment enquiry

    Best to 1. ensure right volume and type of oil is in gearbox, 2. just drive and monitor the oil level/gearbox. If no issues, carry on and enjoy.

    Just make the bracket, it's but a small piece of metal.

    Air box 200 and 300 tdi

    If you're happy to make bracketry, the answer to your question is yes it will fit. The only additional point you need to modify is for the oil breather hose and you can do this by adding a take-off/breather hose connection stub to the air intake hose. Or, just run the breather to a catch tank.

    Electrical woes

    1. You need a wiring diag to work this through. 2. Hope your LED's are not the over bright cheapo Chinesium jobbies - if so, you'll be wearing sunglasses at night. 3. Remember LED's are diodes :. have polarity. Fit the wrong way and they won't work.

Check as follows noting you'll need to use the +Ve of your DVM to earth - this provides your closed 12v cct :. you have 12v... 1...
