@eldescans sorry to hear about your loss. Maybe @blue beasty might dulicate in the Rangie secion as well as in the For Sale, as I think most members will look in their own section first.

Just don't like puffed up Merkins ... and that's most of 'em!!!! They think they own the world, and can dictate to everyone, so what's there to like?? My apologies if we've found a half-decent one who wants to destroy a Landie and a Rangie because he can!! Rant over!!

Why do the dunb merins have to screw everything up? Is it simply because they are stupid enough to imagine that more power is better, or simply because they can??

That's off a Series ... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fuel-Filler-Cap-2-Prong-External-Type-Land-Rover-Series-2a-3-90-110-Defender/273033716491?fits=Car+Make:Land+Rover&epid=1343022182&hash=item3f9213e30b:g:vlsAAOSwEUdaY0cu Sorry, it should be this one ...

It's one helluva lot to have to pay through the nose for their screwups ... especially when I could have sent it to Ashcrofts myself and had change from £600! The trouble is that once they've got their hands on it, basically, you're stuffed and at their mercy!!

@neilly An apprentice training establishment, and the instructors, should be able to remove any failed mechanical component, strip it down to identify exactly why it has failed, replace the component part, reassemble and refit it in place. The instructors should be highly skilled, qualkified...

I thought that you were going to say that!;) I've had my porrige with a bit of extra honey on it. And it's going to start raining soon :(

As has already been said, a good squirt of GT85 and then wiggle the key in and out a couple of times. After that, remove the key and put a piece of wood over the keyhole and give that a series of light, rapid taps with a light hammer. That should loosen the internals enough to allow you to...

Whit all the gaskets and new nuts and bolts, all I have to do now is put it all back together. Does anyone know of a fairly simple and easy way of sliding the front halfshafts into the diff, preferably keeping the streering ball and end in one piece. I've split the axle, and now hopefully, it...

@TorsionBhudda Many thanks, as that included some of the bits which I couldn't find in the link from @border Now all I have to do is put everything back together again ;);)

Just a quick early moning thought, and that it to check the preload on the diff pinion, which should be between 1.6- 3.5 lb/ft (2.55-3.9Nm), as excessive pinion play could transmit through the propshaft ... Just a thought ;)
