changing my transfer box and gear box currently due to a lot of play in the drive. snatch isn't a strong enough word for the issue i had, hoping to be done with it tomorrow and report all sorted but time will tell. anyways if you check out my post's find one of my vids and then go check my...
swapped the gearbox as planned today, well almost!!!
got the old one out and new one under and lifted but the swine wont line up with the engine tidy. the bottom bolts line up enough to put in hand tight to hold it there but i cant get it to slip in all the way.
another thing concerning me is...
new update managed to get my hands on a hoist WOOOP WOOOOOOP lol will be attempting the job tomorrow i'll try get a load of pics and post after it on how it went but i cant promise i'll stick to the photos as im doing the job will depend on the time taken stress levels hit haha
im lost, the job im trying to do is drop down and remove the gearbox/transfer box thats in there and replace it with another unit. figured it was lifting the gearbox and transfer back in place that would be an issue not the motor!
no friend with any lift hence me looking for other options but you have confirmed what i thought someone on here would "dont do it"
cheers for the reply though
as the title says guys how strong is the roof of a disco. as many of you know i've had some transfer issues and now have managed to get a replacement. but here's where the roof things comes into it. everyone has said use a hoist to take out the old and put in the new (im removing gearbox and...
its behind a mates house but we work on things there all the time plenty of room to get working on it without being in the way. as for public highway umm not too sure all i can say is it runs between the back gardens of 2 streets lol
i dont have any lift and im thinking it be almost impossible without some form of lift. i've done car boxes in the passed big and small but never anything even almost as heavy as this thing. so looking for anyone with experience in doing this job. like i say im more than willing to get dirty and...
ok guys as some of you might know i have a transfer box that is as good as dead. well i managed to get a 2nd hand one with the r380 attached still for a bargain price of £120 however i very UNDERESTIMATED the weight of the damn things. so anyone with experience changing the R380 and transfer box...
welcome im also not too technical but with the help of the guys on here im sure anything you have a problem with wont be a problem :). i've had several issues from wiring to transfer boxes and always been someone who knows there stuff :)
that works then cause i pm'd him the video of the internals of the t/box. just waiting on a reply. if i get a chance tomorrow i'll park it on the flat sort my cam somewhere and push it with the hand brake on to show that movement its a LOT but has always done it since i've had it.
(same with the...
ok so i need to know how/where i should be looking to check out the central diff. who's the expert in the central diff area.
landy zone searches here we come again hahaha. only thing i am a little more relaxed about though it seems driving it gentle should help keep it alive until i can...
lol not finding it in search with them search terms "Drivetrain clunk ..... at my wits end" and just "Drivetrain"
EDIT: im a tool and i've found it time to read :)
i do understand they come with there clunks and clicks and squeaks and squeals however this one is more than a little play lol i can put my hand brake on and roll the car about 8 or 10 inch's back and forth so would be nice to limit down some of the clunking before it becomes a bang haha
