Morning all. 1991 D90 but with what I think is a 300tdi rear axle (discs). I've just changed the driver's side rear wheel bearing after the existing bearing collapsed- new stub axle, new hub and new bearing. Put it all together and fitted locking and adjusting nuts, hub rotated fine without...

Thanks all, it's a 300tdi, I've not looked at the solenoid as it's been dark when I've not been at work. I've got a jump pack so will have a go in the morning and yes, I just want to get the doors open so I can get to the battery to jump it!

Nope, I've never had a key that fits the locks, just the remote and the ignition key, been meaning to put new barrels in for a while, probably should have got round to it! And don't call me Shirley!

So my truck has been stood for a while as I've been making a few repairs and generally been too busy with work and home renovation to use it, gone out to do something this eve and discovered I'm locked out, I suspect the battery has run down as I can hear the lock actuators try to open and the...

Yeah it's a 300, did the bearings and back seal last week, I've got a new top pin to go in but not got round to it yet, preload seems ok but there is very definite wobble between 12 and 6

Should there be a thrust washer between bearing and pin in the non-railko type?

Ordered top, think I have a bottom kicking around somewhere, don't think there was any wear but I didn't check that thoughrally, was ****ing it down by that point and was doing my best to keep everything dry and get it all back together quickly!

Yeah I had done that initially, have a top pin on the way, will report back after fitting.

I don't think so, I did try that way but with both wheels off the ground it was difficult to tell without the steering moving, if there was any it was nowhere near as pronounced

Bearings top and bottom, I did put a couple of shims in and then removed them till the preload was right but there is still quite noticeable 12 o'clock-6 o'clock play

Well new swivel bearings, back seal and the plate that holds it in went on today, (those bolts that fix the swivel to the axle were a bit of a pain but 2 spanner trick worked fine) refilled with one shot and put it all back together and still the same play, removed the only shim and still the...

Well hopefully I'll manage short of 8 hours, might take me fractionally more than 10 mins though!!

Anyone have an idea what the thread is on the big but for the lt230 output flange? I gather it's M20 but don't know what the pitch is.

Well that escalated quickly! Had a quick look this morning, looks like there is only one shim top and bottom anyway, bottom one looks like it's a bit mangled too and swivel seal seems to be leaking a bit, chrome ball looks ok though. Looks like I'll be overhauling it next weekend, fingers...

Thanks all, I've got a kit on the way so I'll keep my fingers crossed i can adjust the shims but if not I'll strip it down. Was hoping to enter an RTV event on sat so hopefully I'll manage it one eve!

If I hold the passenger side wheel on my 90, 12 and 6 and rock it there is noticeable play, got Mrs Dave to depress brake pedal and play is still evident, am I right in pointing my finger at swivel pin bearings needing replacement? I also have some intermittent knocking/rattling coming from that...

Yeah fark knows how I made it back from Scotland on that, I don't know at what point it actually broke but there was an incident on the m6 toll where something went and I pulled over on the hard shoulder but everything seemed in order and we assumed I'd hit some debris (there had been a lot of...

Nice, was a while back I got out round that way, I especially like Hoth Farm Lane (or Hoth Wood Lane?) Spannering is going ok few odds left to do during the week though but I've given up for today now. When I said there was play in my UJs I meant it! See photos!

M12. Perfect thanks.

No I've got the nuts and olives on the there already, its the other bit I want, I need to buy a barbed connector to thread into into it, they keep all sorts of sizes at a place up the road from me but I can't get there to get them if I dismantle my existing fuel lines
