Hi James, how do you mean? I marked the position of the shaft on the car with a file before removal, and marked each yoke relative position before taking apart. I've rebuilt shafts before but have always replaced like for like uj's, not heavy duty or with addition of grease nipples. The...

Yeah, I think I'll see how I get on with the new tyres. I've not got stuck yet, but I am cautious as it is the family car as well! I've been pleasantly surprised with the performance of the disco so far, so glad I didn't buy the Range rover that was second option.

Thanks mad hat man

The lady doth protest to much methinks.

Hence you haven't quite realised it yet.

The previous ones were oe, but you already knew that huh!

Sorry, one nipple in each uj. As it is on the others. It's just that they didn't have them before in the hookes.

Tried that, lots of results, I'm just old fashioned and like to go on recommendations from others, hence my post on here.

Thanks to the rest of you, I'll 'learn to drive' with my new tyres first then see where to go from there. Tom

And that's helpful how? I do have a lot of 'gear', making half size traction engines is my first hobby so I have a heavy engineering workshop. I have also always maintained my own cars, always have always will. I am new to discoverys and land rovers and I'm asking questions to find out answers...

I am handy with a spanner, but a/c is black majic to me! Rather go to a specialist! Any ideas where?

Thanks Dave, food for thought, I've just bought a set of general at's on steel wheels, so I'll see how they go before making the next move. Can I use the bits off another and retro fit or am I best use the whole box?

I've used heavy duty uj's which have grease nipples (hookes end) the original didn't, could two grease nipples cause an imbalance? And no, I haven't done it wrong, I was meticulous! ;-)

Central diff lock? From Maplins??? :$

I want an 'unstoppable' D2 (not my quote!!!), but have no CDL (02 ES Model). Now, can I buy a 2nd hand TB off a D1/early D2 with CDL and either add the bits to my TB or swap them completely? I would recondition the new box first with kit from Ashcroft, not knowing it's history..... (if I went...

Had my D2 for 7 months now, I bought it with 'dodgy' A/C, and got quite a bit knocked off of purchase price because of this. I had a refill done in September and the A/C was great, nice and cool. I am a 'leave A/C on the avoid seals drying out' person, but alas I think it was too late for my...

I've just rebuilt my front propshaft, including center bearing in hookes joint, now I'm getting vibration above 50 and shaking above 69.99999(!). I am due to rebuild the rear shaft (and replace the 'weak link' rubber joint) next. Does anyone know where I can get the shafts balanced in...

Hi, I have just purchased a 02 Td5 Disco, always wanted a Disco and now I have one! Heard all the crap about Td5's from the local Disco boys, but I know a lot of people who have had no problems and years of good service from them! I joined the forum as it always pops up when I google somthing...
