hmm, didn't think the axle could rotate from this - will try this method thanks

Thanks europa and lynall for tip - dex2 it is! Any thoughts on the diff refill size tool, going to buy one on ebay.

@EeEk tried both ways still having difficulty it's almost like there is tension on one of the arms not making it square. The disco is on the ground without jacks.

Hi Europa, Thanks but what would you fill the gearbox up with? - Gearbox either Dextron 2 or 3 OR MTF94 ?? litre Thanks

Forgot to ask, what size is the refill and drain plug? Thanks

Hi all, I know this question is asked alot, but there is conflicting information on the gearbox oil especially. The disco in question is an early model 200tdi, believed to have the LT77 gearbox? I've listed the following: - Diff oil EP80/90 GL4 4 litres - Transfer box EP80/90 GL4 2.7 litre -...

Top Tips guys thanks alot - I did insert a very long screwdriver, but even then one side was so difficult to line up and when the bolt started to get through it dropped :( For anyone else having completed the same, pls keep the ideas rolling in.

Thing is, if you remove them for the MOT there is a gaping hole in the bumper where something is meant to be right? I did think about just sticking black duck tape over them to hide for the MOT, but then whoever is doing the MOT might become suspicious - I don't want to hide or cover up...

Hi all, Swapping out the A-Frame balljoint on my disco 200tdi - I thought removing would always be the major problem here but when it comes to refitting the bolts are struggling to line up and slide in. In regard to bolts these are the ones sliding into the top of the new a frame balljoint...

Hi all, Making use of a Disco 1 300 rear bumper onto my 200tdi - would the additional lights if unused become a problem MOT time? Many thanks, Chris

cheers flossie, 1.2mm ordered. Will check that resto, thanks for the advice. @Standly, I thought the same, it's tbh no where near the seatbelt mounting so can't really see it as an issue.

Will do, parts on order!

Thanks Euroa486 I take it using the following guide: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/how-to-replace-the-front-transfer-box-output-oil-seal.59242/ Mega helpful today!

Thanks, will try replacing the a frame balljoint myself this weekend.

Hi all, My Disco 1 200tdi has failed the mot for leaking oil excessively from the offside front tranmission. Any thoughts as to why this might be or any common weak failure? Thanks

Hi all, Disco 1 MOT failure, failed on a few things, but one of these trying to identify is the following: Central Front Upper Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii)) Is this the A Frame ball joint? I always thought this was more towards...

Might have to get someone to weld it up then, I have a welder but don't trust myself if this is structural. What thickness of steel do you think should be required? Thanks

Europa, you are saying it's structural? I thought the body didn't depend on the B pillars for integrity some say MOT testers care, some do not.

Cold weld, is essentially just plating with a 'wedl stick' and a heat gun to melt the rod, more like soldering than anything - it's in an awkward area.

Hi all, My disco 1 200tdi, is starting to form rust at the bottom of the B Pillars, it's visible and looks pretty bad, is this an MOT failure? Instead of welding a plate, could I use a plate and cold weld say 2mm thick steel to patch the holes? As this provides no structural support would this...
