easier to take it to some as stated, so they have the tools to hand. Put some pics up here if you can of the job. I live other side of Cambridge. Sometimes it may require a plate so there is something solid to weld the mount too, wich means more time/£

Will give that a try. I force freed the pedal this morning, but it still felt stiff. I`ll see what I can find later.

So after having not moved my Discovery on the drive for a month (away camping for fortnight & replacing the lower steering column uj & adjusting steering box etc ) I went to take it for the mot. I had gone to start it the other day & run it all fine, but never took it for a drive & discovered...

Thanks for putting that up. I must admit I had already seen it elsewhere, but there may be others who see this who have not. I appreciate all the help guys.

Noted Sierraferry👍🏻 .I was going to take out most of the slack with the box off & then finetune it when back in. But I will instead reassemble the lower steering column uj & install &then put the box back on.

Yes your quite right I meant steering box. I did replace the drag link & ball joints before, but will recheck them. The drag link seems fine though. Also on the side of the steering box there seems to be another slotted bit. Is this also for adjustment ?

After some advice please. My disco 2 is due MOT & I wanted to get rid of play in steering wheel ( felt like it had no input on steering from 11-1 position ) i found I had play in the lower steering column UJ & set about removing that to replace the UJ with a new item. Anyway after removal, it...

Whereabouts are you ? I made a transfer box plate that I welded up & can bolt to the side of the transfer box, whilst sitting in a standard trolley wich you could borrow if you are close enough. If you can weld though it won`t be difficult to make one up

Yes keeping well. I realise the pipe you mean now. I have a fun job to do next & that is to replace the intermediate uk on steering shaft. I had liberally sprayed wd40 & gave the female Torx bolt head a couple of knocks before going in with the nut runner & stripped the splines. So now when I do...

Hi Andy, I just changed the lower pipe that runs from the reservoir by the air filter & down by the sump where it had rubbed through ( in no part due to Land rovers wisdom of using a bit of foam to keep that from happening :rolleyes: ) & it was quite easy to do if that was the one you meant ?

They are not bad to do andy. If I wasn`t so busy atm I would pop by & give you a hand. Dan.

I can confirm the bread trick does work. It did take a couple of attempts though & I only changed it as I was doing the clutch & dmf too. If I remember correctly I slightly moistened the bread so it stuck in there better.

Glad it`s all done & smooth now, a job well done ! I need to do mine, but first things first I have to splash out £200 on doing my Passat timing belt :( as that is more important than the wheel bearing on the list of jobs. And thanks for lending me the adaptors Andy. I will get those copied when...

I removed mine & never had any problems re mot, but kept hold of it in case. It is hidden by the engine cover anyway so I doubt they would bother checking it out. Dan.

Looking good there. Shame that lower ball joint wouldn`t play ball. Hopefully the new attachment eases it in. Dan.

That's fine I will pop it round to you. I will send you a pm.

Whereabouts are you in Hertfordshire ? I have the correct torque wrench for these sort of jobs & am in the Herts/cambs border if needed. Dan.

Hi Elle, your not a million miles away from me & if needed I have a hawkeye diagnostics code reader if it will help you out. I will PM you my number as I don`t always get online. Dan.

Thanks Sierraferry I have`nt had the pipe pop off again yet, but then I have mainly been keeping local & not using it as much. I will take a punt on those vauxhall clips for the sake of it as my better hlf has an astra anyway so they could always be handy to keep about. Thanks, Dan.
