    Refitted the VCU and propshafts today :)

    no need for any jigs or special alignment tools, the rubber on the vcu bearings take up misalignment, just get it looking straight by eye and the bearing rubbers not being pulled. Where is the vcu from? what vibration damper is fitted to it, some of the cheap after market ones are so far out...

    My VCU help please

    if its rear wheel drive only, this is nothing to do with the vcu, a vcu test will prove naff all. if you want to prove its not got front wheel drive, jack one front wheel and spin the wheel by hand while its in gear, that will prove no drive. Or if you fancy a bit more excitement jack both rear...

    TD5 rear fuel pipe cluster

    Had to replace a pipe on 2 separate occasions, tank out is the easiest option, and not a major task anyway. I used high pressure rubber fuel line rather than the hard plastic parts from landrover, i reckon they will last a lot longer as they wont wear through as quick!

    Diff Gone

    Not been on here for ages but read this and had to reply. I have seen a brand new rear diff overheat and pop within 10 miles of being fitted, and thats with a new IRD and VCU. It was all caused by larger tyres at the front. The extra heat caused by the excess strain caused by the VCU having to...
