Nope. Its my sons. hes had it years. but it failed its test and I volunteered to fix it. he normally does though. Actually I found it fairly simple to work on with some good touches, like the rear upper arms, just lift out with the grooves cut out for the bolts.. Many Thanks steveeasy

No not yet. is that a ticking time bomb? Thanks!! Steveeasy

Hey, always happy to say please. and thanks. Thanks!!. much appreciated. ill try that and report back. always follow up to report a succesful outcome. well hope so. Steveeasy

well its pointing me in the right direction but please tell me more. never thought the car was that sensative. steveeasy

Ok. ive not got to the big nut yet. I guessed thats what i might find when I get there. any words of wisdom on the way to remove this ?. do I need to lck the crankshaft. Steveeasy

No, I seam to remember putting the bolt back as it came out. Steveeasy

did the bolts up while it was on the jack. I think road height. front lower. Steveeasy

Ok, did the rear hub bearings first. car drove fine no codes. then did nr side lower arm. did it while on jack. replaced driveshaft as I hit the old one. ive also replaced the sensor. now at 30mph HDC and steering sensor and some control box. Steveeasy

Hi Discovery 3 2007 tdv6. Fitted new bearings and front arms. All was well for a short while but now I start it up go down road and when I reach 30mph all dash lights come on and every code comes up. Clear then and it just does the same. Fitted new abs sensors and front driveshafts but no...

Hi, The Harmonic Pulley has given up and I need to change it. Best method for holding it so I can undo the nut. I suspect there might be a crankshaft locking tool out there and ive seen a tool that bolts to the pulley. Any suggestions on which is easiest. Thanks in advance Steveeasy

ok looking for a Gearbox for above. Does anyone know if the ratios for R380 boxes change or is it just the transfer box that determines this ?. Also does the surrfix number change the type of box. Trying to find something that is suitable. Thanks Steveeasy

Brown, Thanks for the above. took the gearbox out today, I expected to find a loose input shaft but not too much play at all. So think ill just get a recon box. found lots of sealant between gearbox and transfer box. Not sure if anything should be between them. Steveeasy

Hi, Gearbox sounds like its on its way out. In Neutral it sounds like something is flying around in the bellhouseing. when driving sounds like UJ but its not. Load wobble donking noise. going to remove gearbox. does this sound like a shaft bearing. if so how difficult to replace. anyone...

box filters ?. ill do a bit of research on this then. Thanks Steveeasy

ok drained both transfer box and gearbox. Gearbox had id think 5 ltrs of oil in it. as it drained it looked good to start with then looked something like fudge. clearly looked like it had air in it. ill refill both with the correct5 levels. At present the high low lever is pretty stiff. the...

Its leaking from the top of the transfer box. not the gearbox. have a hydraulic pump fitted to transfer box and the vehicle is left running a lot. definatly not gearbox leaking but im going to check the level on this today. Drain then refil with the correct amount i believe 2.3 ltrs . Steveeasy

Nope. I understand the gearbox filler plug is not a level but did not know the transfer box was the same. ill check this. Thanks steveeasy

Ive got a 2010 defender 130 puma . had a leak from transfer box and been topping it up. last week i noticed the gears had gone a little stiffer than normal. topped up transfer box but its definitely a lot stiffer. cant understand though why the transfer box would affect the stiffness of the...

Hi, Ive been asked to help sort my sons disco 3 that failed its test on offside rear upper arm bushes and both rear hub bearings. Ive managed to remove the hub upper and lower bush bolts and astonishingly the ABS sensors. but for the life of me I cant get the hub of the rear shaft. ive used a...

Ok updating on the front diff on my l322 TD6. Due to leaking it overheated and cooked the pinion oil seal. think it destroyed the bearing as well. So picked up a used one. wondered if this meant subframe out again. I can report back was fairly easy. Front wheels off. both driveshafts...
