Rear should scrub the tyres if locked. People weld their rear diff up for cheap off roading and they still steering on the road. Front locker however would be hard to steer. Can't say I've tried to steer with my front locker engaged except on loose ground off roading

Looks like a champion 13000lb like what I started with. Slow and steady but they pull well.

Where from? Could do with one

Spoke to ashcrofts who say it's a swivel fitting. I don't recall it being a swivel fitting but could be wrong

^^^^ what he said. If it's locked and it all points to the correct markings then ignore the marks. Could try turning the crank over by hand and see if it all goes back to where it's showing at the minute. When I first did a 300 belt I climbed under the disco I had at the time and couldn't see...

I installed my new ashcroft unit into a diff I had spare, tested it on the bench and it didn't leak however I'm not happy with one thing. The 90 degree elbow that goes into the unit itself is facing the wrong way, it's pretty tight as it is and I'm a little apprehensive about dogging this up...

are you setting up the timing from no markings at all or do you have a belt that's on and works and your just wanting to lock it before removal?

What he said

Fair enough. Happy days then

I thought he had stopped?

I had the same problem with my front caliper bolts when I first changed the pads. I think I hammered on a smaller bi hex socket and swung on it. Snapped the 1/4 " drive that I tried first as I had accidentally hammered on a 1/4 socket but afterwards I used a 3/8 and again hammered it on and it...

Mine did that on my old disco and it was the rocker shaft. The threads give way or get over tightened and the rocker shaft pops up. Might not be that in your case but I'd start at the easy top end first.

Cheers guys. Ordered a thread and plug set of taps and brought the locker today with a tyre air set so I just need to find time to fit it all Into the rear, move the arb to the front and at some point I'd like to make a receiver for the compressor so it's got a tank that's a little bigger for...

Gonna buy an ashcroft air locker tomorrow from Paddocks to treat myself for my birthday today. Looking on the website it says the drill bit from ashcroft is 29/64 which is around 11.5mm so I'll buy an 11.5mm drill bit and then the tap I've read is 1/4 bsp however that tap is smaller than 11mm...

yes around 40-50 psi it does when driving, the oil light will go off if I just rest my foot on tickover so its only just on, it flickers on and off when hot and when its had a real good thrash up a decent hill it may stay on when really hot however the electric fan doesn't need kick in often at...

I don't like the thought of disconnecting it however its getting annoying especially when I can see that the oil pressure is around 15psi

Drove mine 13miles other night and got excited with new turbo on so drove hard. Got to tesco and went to top the water up because it was only just above cold and I was worried it was low on water or some daft ****. Slowly opened cap no hiss like when hot and under pressure. Dangled my finger in...

Any change of a part number James? Is that in the back of the hub so bearings out ect

Unsure James. The shafts I have are the same as the disco 300tdi ones except the spline count. The question I guess I'm asking is could the seal be removed and let the oil lube the bearings also? Removing the need for the half shaft to be wider at the certain part

Might help to mention I'm running a disco 300tdi rear axle however 10spline diff and currently I belive Rrc shafts short hub
