    How to stop the crankshaft pulley spinning?

    Like this http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=360394412875 If you've pulled the engine might need to extend the bar, a length of scaffold works

    How to stop the crankshaft pulley spinning?

    Would have to be thick sheet steel, if the pulley has 4 holes (same as 300tdi) then why not pick 2 of the holes next to eachother and bolt direct to the bar?? The correct LR tool for the 300 is a ring with 4 holes for bolting to the pulley and a long bar welded to it - I have one but they are pricey

    How to stop the crankshaft pulley spinning?

    Get a big piece of angle, drill 2 holes in the middle and bolt it to the pulley - simples. Had to do the same to my boat engine to pull the harmonic balancer

    How to stop the crankshaft pulley spinning?

    Confused, are you trying to remove the front crank pulley bolt? If so, can't you lock the damper?

    Which headlamp bulbs

    But dangerous unless fitted properly, in which case would probably cost more than I paid for my disco

    Stereo harness advice

    here's the wiring, all looks in order? :confused: I was wondering whether the head unit is at fault, but if the tweaters are working on the A-pillar then that suggests the front door speakers are being fed???

    Leaking water from passenger front roof liner

    This might not apply to disco 2 but.. I spent a lot of time hunting the source of the leaking roof when I first got the disco, re-sealed both sunroof frames, all the guttering, checked the drain tubes, sealed the windscreen and both alpine windows but it was STILL leaking. Turned out it was the...

    nope, the slide switch on side of the light itself?

    interior roof light (front)

    It doesn't work, swapping bulbs with the rear(that does work) didn't help. Looking at the fuse symbols under the steering column I couldn't see anything that looks like interior light. The big chunky fuses under bonnet look to be all in one piece. Any suggestions? Thanks

    oil leak from timing case

    Cheers mate all sorted and the leak has now gone!! Well other than the pain in the a$$ oil cooler pipe that connects to the rad but that always seems to take me a few attempts to get a good seal without it dripping. Next job nearside swivel and shaft seals then I'm good for the winter :)

    Can anyone advise asap? Thanks!!!!

    oil leak from timing case

    Help! The o-ring that fits behind crank gear, should that be fitted to the shaft first or to gear before sliding on. If to the shaft, does that give a good enough seal to stop leaks, if to the gear how do you get it past the woodruff key?? Thanks

    Not a big job to replace mate, just make sure you set the gaps correctly I ended up snapping a rocker doing that wrong!
