Thanks a million times for your replies. However since the mechanic has his heart set on charging me a full day's work for taking the front diff out and counting the gears I really appreciate if one of you explained step by step what to do. The explanation went over my own head and can not...

Thanks for your replies. I was changing the rear diff 2 days ago and saw the twisted shaft. The diff ratio in the back is 47-10. The mechanics could not figure out what was in the front (not written anywhere and they said it is a full day's work to take it out). So they went with same ratio...

I understood that. My truck is a 88 model. The shaft just happens to be 89 cm :)

88. There are two shafts. One is 89 cm and the other one a bit shorter. The longer one is the one that breaks.

You broke one in 40 years!!! Please mail that to me. I need something suitable to hit my supplier in the head! No I do not have oversize tyres and engine is the same as everybody else's. Maybe as both of you mentioned I am heavy footed (if that is a word).

Hello I don't know if this is only me or everybody has the same problem the rear shafts on my truck keeps on breaking or twisting practically every two months. The shop says these are land rover's fuses. They are supposed to brake. This sounds like a load of nonsense to me. How often do you...

You made me look up "pay and play" and I just looked and paynplay.co.uk. Somebody should do something like this for trails and sites in Canada. It is badly needed.

For a car that has next to no electrical work I am amazed by the number of things that can go wrong electrically. Glad to know i is not only me.

Actually you should get an honorary Phd in economics for that. People waste their student loan on text books and look what it get them!

To be honest yes it is. At one point I was looking for old railway kerosene lamps to use as off road auxiliary lights!

I hope it wasn't a Tercel! Their FJ2 and 3 and Landcruisers are quite respectable By the way I searched and can't find out what is a D2

Thank you very much

Thank you very much ExMil109. Are these bolts used anywhere else in a S3?

Hello These two screws sit in the mechanism bellow the gear shift as you see in the picture. What type and number are they? Is there somewhere else in the landy that they are used so I can take one and use it here? In adding a reverse light I have managed to mess up one. I have spent the...

This is really funny stuff thanks for sharing. This reminds me of a mischievous uncle. When he was about 16-17 he had hilarious stories about him and his buddies lifting an annoying teacher's 2CV and putting two wheels on one side and 2 wheels on another side of a wide and deep street gutter...

What's to be embarrassed about? A friend of mine (wink) once by mistake filled 1/3 of his petrol tank with diesel. He am not embarrassed about it. We learned a little Pony (Hyundai) can run on a 1/3 -2/3 fuel mix!

Somebody delete this thread. Apparently nothing has happened to anyone!

I figure each of you must have unusual stories because of your land rover. I would love to hear some I am sure others would too. So I invite you to share your landy stories. I can't be the only one with goofy stories.

I am surprised nobody has inventing anything like that which could be plugged into a cigarette lighter and jack the car up. Since nobody has I reserve the rights to this idea.:D

It's good there is a photo in that ad. I was wondering if the curves in the one I found should be there or not. I will make it straight then, thanks everybody.
