No idea. what was the modification Brian, Thanks for this, Yes Ive had the upgrade then. Steveeasy

Marjon, well ill read through that. to drop the subframe i have to undo engine mounts and disconect power steering as well as lift or hold engine so ill see how far I can lift it. not sure how the diff driveshaft releases through the sump though.? ill have to look in to that one. Many thanks...

Ok, ive had a leaking diff oil seal that ive changed twice without really stemming the flow and been topping it up. the inevitable happened and I cooked the diff. well the rear pinion seal has failed big time. Looking uip at the diff ,im thinking here we go again. looks like the subframe has...

Hi Wonky, You have looked for fault codes ? are there any ?. With my limited knowledge id say the pump is normally the weak link. even if you think its fine, a pump that is not providing the correct pressure would lead to the suspension not working properly. Mine would never work. endless...

Hi, Yes I did my front subframe. TD6!. from memory quite easy. Both driveshafts out. exhaust off. I hung engine with engine hoist. two engine mount bolts off. disconnect steering pipes from steering rack. then undo 4 subframe bolts and it will come out with rack on. once out remove rack...

NOW SOLD Discovery 2 facelift 2003 ES model. full specification including full black leather interior. This discovery is very clean on the subframe and the body is good in black. the wheels are clean and the engine is great. The Auto box only works in reverse and the front screen is cracked...

well i might as well join in. Inpa worked for me in minuets. purrrfect now !!. Did I ever have a problem. Steveeasy

Just replaced both front and rear subframes on my 2002 L322. The rear was rusted through nr the front mount supports. the front had corrosion on the rear legs. Removing the rear was not that hard. came out complete. disconnected propshaft. removed exhaust. handbrake cables disconnected...

Absolutely. very good forum. good number of members so quick response time. friendly and welcoming and most importantly keen to help. What more could we want. I still cant get over my car is actually working fine. It really was not that painful and jolly worth it. Steveeasy

Hi Brian and Mark, Update. Right got home this afternoon and the creaking had spread to the rear as well. So using ramps keeping weight on wheels I merely loosened the front arms and retightened them. Back of ramps and low and behold magic. silent wheel to wheel and up and down. new...

Hi Mark, Turning the steering you get a metallic grinding clonk say 5-6 times from lock to lock. without turning steering much less say 1-2 similar sounds. but yes the same type of noise when raising or lowering suspension. It was not really evident until new tyres were fitted. its not a...

Hi Mark, I will look at the column bolt tonight. again this was done up while off the ground. As for power steering fluid, D3 or D4 can be used but not mixed. I wondered if it was a CV joint. but when I disconnected each side independently still got the noise but not quite so loud. I also get...

Well it was all removed and some new some old put back on. all tightened while jacked up. never heard of that one. The front creeks as the suspension goes up and down now. Perhaps I need to slacken them off. That's a new one to me though. Ill try it. Steveeasy

Hi, Texaco Cold Climate PSF 14315 fluid. Not quite sure what the specification is. Im not sure ATF was used, but having discussed with the man that was filling the system while I was under the car doing things up, he might have put dexron 3 ATF in by mistake. Feels fine no sound, I mean no...

Hi, Urm. tightened the four bolts on the subframe when it was up. ive subsequently done them since. Bushes?. The subframe has four bolts only from what I can remember. I wonder if I should undo them and retighten them then. Steveeasy

Hi Mark, Yes been trying that. Its not the strut tops. Ive undone the outer track rods separately and then turned the steering to find out if its the left or right side and it still made the noise. so it looked like it was the steering rack. but it has no play at all. So we looked in the...

Well My L322 had its MOT and passed. Suspension is fine. yes fine. The air bag light I got removed by removing steering wheel and cleaning the earth contact from rotary wheel to steering wheel. However there was a noise from front, a clonking as I moved car. Checked all bolts for subframes...

Mine were the same stuck solid. Heat with torch and smack it with sledge hammer. it will pop out. wont go back in though. Steveeasy

Well that was a long road. As you may recall 2 weeks ago I used Impa and the calibration was easy. Ive replaced the front driveshaft and at the same time replaced the tie bars on the front. I had a dodgy bolt on the upper arm on the rear. managed to replace that. So took car for a drive and...
