    300tdi rear 4 bolt prop flange

    hi, i've had very little noise/vibration from the back prop but you could see the rubber coupling was distorted at all times. the front however is causing vibration as the prop seems to be at its fully extended length, i've seen someone on ebay selling propshaft spacers to counteract this...

    300tdi rear 4 bolt prop flange

    problem solved after a phone call to rimmer bros, for anyone who wishes to do the same, rimmer bros do a four bolt flange kit with oil seals etc. for the 300tdi axle about £35 for pattern parts and £60 for genuine parts

    Will they fit

    Hi, i have seen them fitted to a couple of 300's so it must be possible but I have to admit, in my opinion they look completely out of place as they appear way to big. but each to their own lol

    300tdi viscous fan fell off!!!

    Hi, my disco has returned, 1 new timing cover and belt later. the garage did the decent thing and accepted all costs, I don't know if its true or wether the garage are covering their backs but they told me that when they ordered the part from LR they were informed that it was a known fault at...

    300tdi viscous fan fell off!!!

    thanks for that, your forgiven lol. the cheapest silicone hose I've found on ebay is around £15 for half a metre but when you compare to some websites, thats fairly cheap.

    300tdi viscous fan fell off!!!

    any chance you could measure the entire length of the steel pipe plus the two flexible hoses to get an overall length for a single piece of hose? it would be greatly appreciated, I might even forgive you for the hijack lol

    300tdi viscous fan fell off!!!

    what should the internal diameter and the length of the pipe be? I haven't got my car to measure at the moment but I can order some silicone hose off ebay ready for when she returns so i can drop the whole EGR off. the garage has ordered a new timing cover from landrover today so she should...

    300tdi viscous fan fell off!!!

    300tdi viscous fan fell off!!!

    the pulley is just like an idler attached to the timing cover so if you had the correct length belt i don't see any reason you couldn't lose it?

    300tdi viscous fan fell off!!!

    Hi, i was thinking of fitting a kenlowe fan but I would still need to repair the pulley for the belt. if only someone would make a shorter drive belt to bypass that pulley lol
