I THINK I might have finally sorted the death wobble… Re-checked the swivels and removed a shim from both sides. Without removing the entire hub unit, I set preload to about 6kg using a force meter. Now all the jolts & bumps aren’t transmitted up through the steering wheel, and I’ve had it up...

Ah right! Fixed it fit now (window is sitting in the channel) but wonder if this would be a good buy… https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/landrover-discovery-1-300tdi-Passenger-Side-Window-/133714671484?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286 Think the rest of the regulator is ok.

Hi all, My passenger electric window got stuck today, looked at it and the glass appeared to have jumped out the regulator channel. Have put the glass back in and left it shut. The channel the glass sits in is very rusty- if I buy a new one does it have the fittings for the glass to sit in...

Took it for a good drive yesterday, got up to 65mph on motorway and was much more stable. However it STILL has death wobble! Nowhere near as regular as before though, so something must be better. Next thing is I’m going to re-do panhard rod bushes with the ones from the poly bush kit. I did...

Yeah that’s true, will have a look.

Other side done! Decided to try the “stanced” look when reassembling… Looks well wikkid innit?! Anyway all back together, took it for a drive, felt pretty good! Going to have to get tracking checked as it was miles off, but so much less body roll and it no longer transfers every single...

Refitted spring with turret ring this time- looks great! Noticed that the spring and shock seem to be leaning forward slightly, but looking back it did this in the picture before I dismantled it. Also how tight should the shock retaining nuts be? Made them pretty tight (bushes are noticeably...

Got all the lower arms in place and tightened up roughly, will torque up when back on wheels. Steering rod with new ball joints on too. Was on a roll so I thought I’d put a spring back in, was quite pleased with myself... However bonus points if you spot what I forgot to fit before the...

Old bushes pressed out. Now we have 2 happy frogs! Arms back in place, ran out of light hence crap pics. Thanks to Buster’s tours for the walkthroughs on this. Will torque it all up when it’s back on wheels. Springs and shocks next!

I introduced the lower radius arm bolts to Mr Grinder... this was the result! Not sure if the blue gank is threadlock or the remains of the nylock inserts! Anyway radius arms are off and painted now, ready for bushes to be pressed out.

Got those knackered nuts on the drivers side suspension turret off, managed to withdraw shock absorber. Spring came off easily using compressors again, both springs and shocks thoroughly buggered! Cleaned up the area where it all sat with wire brush- going to Hammerite it before it all goes...

Started on the front suspension today. Passenger side spring and shock before I started... Quite a bit of crustiness around! Undid bottom nut on shock by holding it through spring with pair of Stilsons. One nut snapped when removing the turret, so they’ll need replacing when refitting. Turret...

Sorted it! Part ESR163 is obsolete (despite being listed as available to order on some websites...) so went a hydraulic hose place and got one made up. Somewhat over engineered but it runs great now. Back end feels much tighter too. Just the front end to do now...

Right, now I’m confused. Been to 2 local motor factors (including truck place) and neither have the pipe nor the unions! What have people done to connect the actual pipe to the end of the sedimenter? How would a nylon pipe go into the threaded hole?!

Thanks for help. Had a prod around and here’s the latest- on my project thread... https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/1992-200tdi-discovery-gradually-improving-my-daily-driver.344243/page-7

Pad wear sensors makes sense, although the wires only went to one side! Plus I don’t think I’ve got a pad warning light..? Anyway got underneath and had a prod- found this eventually! So that’d be the pipe I caught when undoing the upper link nuts... Surprisingly enough it wasn’t leaking diesel...

Pretty sure it’s related to pipes round rear end rather than lift pump. Ran like a dream before I started messing about with back end. Going to check it out in week. Cheers!

Yeah reckon it’s entering system somewhere- think I might have knocked the sedimenter when doing rear axle. That’s where I plan to start!

About a week since I last used it. Might have mashed a fuel line. Checked Haynes and I might have messed up the fuel sedimenter- that sound right?

Just finished rebuilding rear suspension on my 200tdi Disco, put it all back together now it’s not idling properly! Runs and starts ok but when you rev it the engine slows right down and nearly stops, sometimes picks up but sometimes stalls! Makes no sense- haven’t touched anything on the...
