i wouldnt put the wiring loom back in through the chassis. Makes maintanence harder if the wiring is in there. Also - paint. I have seen very good results using coach paint like tekaloid. Chap i know used 4 brushed on coats and let each coat cure for a couple of days and then wet+dry to flat it down...

we had some proper 'issues' getting that bolt off on hadyns 200tdi. He bought a pulley tool and we snapped it. ok - did have 6 foot of scaff pole over his breaker bar and 19st of hadyn swinging on it though... Ended up with me in the cab with the truck in gear and stamping on the brakes to prevent t...

Or alternatively... :) The mating faces of the two flanges (transfer box and diff) should be parallel for the propshaft UJs to work at their best. Pointing the diff at the transfer box seems to make sense BUT risks screwing up the phasing of the propshaft resulting in the UJs working unevenly and p...

Just as an aside - I am correct in assuming that once the suspension is fully loaded, the diff should be parallel with the floor (horizontal), aren't I? Cheers Mark no, the diff nose will point at the output flange of the transfer box. The geometry is set so that the radius arm mounting points are ...

Matthew paddocks and all the usual glossies are doing timken bearings for £7+vat each at the moment. But you are right, once you add in the proper hub seals (the early double lipped seals are best imho) drive flange gaskets and lock tabs its more like £30 a corner. Also if you find some very mild ...

dont get me wrong, i'm sure there are plenty of satisfied customers of 4+4 from days gone by, but based on my experience with the disco - and what my friendly MOT bloke who left 4+4 some time ago said [*] - i certainly wont be going back there.

Re: The fun has just started
The question is if the clutch is past its best can it be replaced with the engine in situ ? if you are doing it on your drive and have access to an engine hoist - and if its a tdi - much easier to whip the engine out. dropping the gearbox using various jacks and planks of wood is a bit of a faff, e...

s'ok matthew - we bought it with what we thought as good provenance, looked after all its life by 4plus4 in leeds with full history from new by them and 3x waxoil applications. what a joke they are, i shant bore you with the sordid details - but lets just say that having 4plus4 look after a vehicle ...
