    Disco 1 Rear propshaft rubber coupling?

    Yep, Donut is on correctly. Ihave a donor landy so I can swap props, and I've ordered 200 prop and a change of flang. I'll be trying to fix it when I get back from the UK.

    Disco 2 Oil leak from above the alternator

    Check that the dip-stick is sealing. I had a similar thing on one of my Tdi 300s and ot was a crack on the dip-stick tube. Maybe it's as simple as my problem.... :(

    Disco 1 Rear propshaft rubber coupling?

    Ha, ha,ha...:) Thanks James - didn't know there was a spacer option. I Thought the sliding prop would have sorted that out?

    Disco 1 Rear propshaft rubber coupling?

    Is it a simple case of 'change the rear diff flange' to be able to swap to a 200 propshaft?

    Disco 1 Rear propshaft rubber coupling?

    As you can see, my rubber had split. However,mreplacing it with a new one hasn't solved the problem? I still get heavy vibration at around 30 mph under load - no vibration when I take it out of gear?. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the tip. I'll go for the 'buy a replacement' option...:)

    Disco 2 Door soleniods - repair or replace?

    I have a front passenger door lock that won't open via the fob, or via the dash lock button. Anyone know of the locks/solenoid are repairable or is it a replacement job?

    Disco 1 Rear propshaft rubber coupling?

    Bashing it sounds like the way forward... :) I still don't understand why there is such a discrepancy in the two sides lining up - it has to be close to 5mm. If there is a 'Hardy Spicer' option, as on the 200, why change to a rubber cush? Weird.

    Disco 1 Rear propshaft rubber coupling?

    The car is not off the ground, I drove up on a ramp to give me room ti get underneath. How much difference in the gap either side is acceptable? Seems quite a way out to me... When I compare it when looking under my other Disco (same year) it seems more even - maybe it's me... Any tricks to...

    Disco 1 Rear propshaft rubber coupling?

    Hi all. Had a really bad vibration from the back of the Disco the other day so ordered a replacement rubber coupling... Now I seem to have an uneven gap at the rubber coupling end when I try to refit the prop shaft. I've tried changing the position of the propshaft at the handbrake end but...

    Rear winch on to drop down towbar

    It has two hooks and a ratchet system. Occasionally use one when I can't get close enough with my Disco. Plenty good enough for your situation, I think.

    Rear winch on to drop down towbar

    If it's a 'one off' thing get yourself a cheap hand winch.

    What year? Service history? Any 'major' work done? How long have you owned the Landy? How many previous owners? Any MOT advisories? Ta :)

    Replacement Cylinder Head?

    Bought a new cylinder head from ebay. Bit of a risk as it's one of those supposedly 'uprated' heads with better cooling... However, fitted it yesterday and took it for a test drive and all seemed well. Just a reminder to anyone else as I had forgotten some basics: Make sure you have a torque...
