I really want to do the job properly, so its gonna be a heads off & new core plugs in :rolleyes: Now thinking ahead, will I really need to have the heads skimmed before they are re-installed??? Initially I was not gonna remove the heads as when I did a compression test a while ago the reads...

You wish you hadn't started........???? Under the Disco today lining up the transfer box for installation, I've had quite a few oil leaks near the back of the engine so I thought I'd clean them off and make it nice & clean for later on when I put everything back together. Just shone the torch...

Cheers Chris..... Its all in the great plan :rolleyes: :rolleyes::rolleyes: Once its all back together & the g/box & t/box are back in and running ok, the engine is next for a refurb - well the top of it. Then all I've left to do is brakes and a little welding (I hope) before MOT time.

Erm....I measured the old oil that was removed from the sump = 6.6litres came out! I was asking if that was normal.

No, when it was running it engaged fine. I was a bit worried though looking at the colour of the fluid its not been on the road for about 5 years before I bought it so I was surprised it being so brown. Hopefully at weekend everythings going to be put back - Transfer box, new manifolds &...

Whilst I've been rebuilding the transfer box I thought I might as well do a Auto box drain & replace the filter whilst the exhaust & cross member were off. Now I've just drained the sump of oil and removed said sump to clean it off and repaint the outside face as its rusty as...... :rolleyes: I...

I put it in the wanted section but, Anyone in the North West preferably Manchester -ish got a spare near-side V8 exhaust manifold part no. HRC2469 that they're not likely to need??? took mine off today and there's a 3 inch crack in it. :(:(:(

Hello, just removed the nearside manifold of my v8 Discovery and it has a huge crack right down the centre. anyone got one they're willing to sell??? Needs to be part No. HRC2469 as that's what's stamped on mine. I'm in the Oldham area and looking to pay hopefully not more than £50.

:eek: Then it could be ok as it is then? I just don't remember it being as 'notchy' as that when I removed it. Ah well, live & learn. Must admit it frightened me a little, I've read the print off the manual keep thinking I did something wrong. I'll put the cover on then now & .......gulp! summon...

No one any ideas :(:(:(

Shoot me now :(:(:( think I've done sommat wrong somewhere??? Just before sealing it up & putting it back in I thought 'I'll give it just that one more once over' Everything seemed fine, was very smooth going from low to high, diff lock on, diff lock off..... Then I just happened to turn the...

Hooorah!!! finally got it rebuilt and ready to install, but before I do I'm gonna drop the ATF & filter out of the main gearbox, then reattach the transfer box. The question I have is is there any issues in doing a dummy run by just installing the xfer box filling it and then after putting the...

If its a hole in the radiator, which looking at that photo I can't be certain whether there is a hole in it or not, you'll need a new radiator.

^^^^^ What he said!

Well managed to strip it down completely and the dog teeth on the high gear are absolutely knackered. There's bits chewed off quite a few of them and one of them is nearly non-existent. So it seems new high gear time to me, the low gear has hardly any play and the teeth on it show no wear at all.

Ha!!! :rolleyes: Trapped a nerve in my neck and not been able to do owt for a week, can't turn me head look up or down feelin really sorry for meself :(:(:(

Might just be me then, get the rest of it stripped and have a proper good look at it then. I don't really know how much is too much or how much is permitted, it just seems loose if ya know what I mean. I've got the manual for the box refurb (off Ashcrofts website) its the Land Rover one. Anyways...

Got my kit from Ashcrofts, quick delivery too. Cleaned everything off today with White Spirit and had a closer look, still think its the sleeve. Done another clearer video below, what do ya think??? I'm gonna press the bearings off tomorrow and I think we'll know more then.

Thanks for that raywin, I'm continuing to strip it down to its component parts so I'll bear that in mind, excellent write-up btw, gonna follow that when.....eventually I get to put mine back together. There does seem to be quite a bit of what looks like yellow gungy paste splattered around so it...

Well, after the rigmarole of removing the bl**dy thing I've now come to disassemble it and I think I've found the culprit of the loud 'CLUNK' going forward to reverse and back :confused::confused::confused:. Now I'm no expert in these matters and have strictly followed the LT230 rebuild manual...
