Thanks. I've got a 8mm spanner but it looks massive compared to that tiny grease nipple thing. I've got 7 nuts off or loose now it's just that bugger to try get off tomorow. Hopefully I've got a 8mm socket and it pops right off. Then I'll have to get that flange bit off from what dag...

Progress!! I have 2 nuts off the gearbox end :) the two that had been mashed by the propshaft. The other one is a mess so am resorting to cutting it off. I've got halfway thru and got stuck annoyingly. Question is how the poo do u get at the nut behind the little pokey sticky out thing from...

Yeah I spent all my effort trying the one at the bottom. I'll sharpen my cold chisel and try that method ta

Tried that special tool and it wouldn't even go over the nut. It would go over the other side bolt heads but that wasnt budging either

I had a 9/16th spanner on standby to hold the other side once I got one side cracked but couldn't crack one side so never got to the point of holding one side with the spanner. Was it doing it wrong ? Been quoted 108 quid to get the landy down to the garage. Bugger

Thanks, Just spent two hours and even got out the breaker bar and nothing. The special tool wouldnt go over the nuts so had to use a 15mm socket which didnt work. It was just mashing the nuts. The two nuts with their sides smashed in already had absolutely no change. The socket wouldnt...

Me again. My propshaft should be here today/ tomorrow. I've watched videos on who to change it and had a look at the Haynes manual. But I've got one question. Since I've got to turn the propshaft to get to 1 of the bolts if I have already removed 3 I'm guessing I don't want to drive the landy...

Cheers. That gives me some options when I find a decent welder over here.

Thanks that's great to know .

Aye found that clip and pinged it off. So door card is off. Nearly all fastners were broke by the previous owner and I can't work out how to get the latch out. :) But on the positive side I replaced both door strikers which look nicer but haven't fixed any issue :D

Anyone know how to get this window winder handle off? My Haynes manual says pop the cap in the middle but there isn't a cap.

About 5 posts up is the pic. The post that ends with me saying what are my options. I wud post again but am on phone and haven't got the pic on my phone

Thanks. I'll look into that after it's been to garage for him to say about the head gasket. Is the landy driveable with the outrigger in that state ? Garage is about 15 miles away. Could I stick some speed tape on it or something to hold it together till I can get it replaced ? Also if I...

Nope. If getting someone to weld it is an option I will be happy with that. I was worried something like that would mean put the landy in the bin

I was out just before wire brushing the prop shaft bolts and nuts down to make it easier to remove hopefully (where the joint is loose the two bolts either side have been dented inwards!!), when I wire brushed some rusty bits elsewhere. This bit seemed quite thin so i pushed it and it went...

Oh great. :( Where is the Vin tag on the pedal box? When you say "someone who knows what they are looking at" is that just a garage or a specialist Land rover person? Vin label in the engine and the number on the frame in front of drivers front wheel match (which was under a ton of rusty crap)...

Thanks. I'll have a look into that. I've spoke to the garage and he wants to have a look before doing head gasket as he said the head will need skimming or something and that's a massive job :( . But before I can get it to him I need to do me propshaft, that should be here Wednesday though...

Ta. Ordered that second one yesterday. My vin number is just below its top end of the range. And ordered a tacklife 3/8 wrench so hopefully that does that job. Whilst underneath yesterday I got a good look at the frame and it's pretty rusty. Not to a point where there is holes through it...

Thanks ! Right so I need to order a prop shaft but looking on paddocks and places like that why are some propshafts like 300 quid ? Are they carbon graphite or something ? :/ Edit: worked it out. They are for different Land Rovers or those fancy wide angle jobbies. So I've narrowed it down...

Thanks. Im learning alot from here! Ive just been watching videos on how to do it. It doesnt look massively hard but im guessing the hardest bit will be removing the prop shaft. Ive just priced up the bits I need and tools and thought would I be better just buying a new Propshaft? They are...
