Do u think the change of ATF oil has cured the issue

Yes plse ref the oil out of interest

How about ur brake bleeding or have u still got to get round to them plse

Chuffed for u it’s all now starting to come together

I think a combination of oil and that pick up tube being snapped off. Perhaps the oil was passing the filter ?

Haven’t bled brakes, they feel much better, not brilliant but a vast improvement over yesterday. I think i’ll Leave it till after hols now let it settle and bleed again when I get back.

Edited the post ref oil to include the link.

Thanks mate. I’m really chuffed also. It’s been a hell of a process !

Bless u for the link, haven’t seen that one before but complies with 1375 so perfect for the job and as you’ve seen an approvement

Indeed ref the sump filter and at least u know it’s done properly , have u still got to do the mechtronic sleeve

Good news the brakes are better and at least all the hard work has paid off with the great results

There such a nice vehicle to drive anyway don’t think u notice until u fit new parts and then realise the improvement

I’ll be really please when I get the ac fixed and rest of the oils replaced , will be interesting to see what the gearbox atf is like when I drain it , not sure if it’s ever been done

Am just coming up to 100,000 miles

I picked up the link for oil off here. Someone mentioned it that the jag forum boys were using it so thought well it complied with the relevant standards so why not.

I did the mechatronic sleeve at the same time. It all comes in the kit from af. Note : the bolts are shorter for he metal pan but it comes with them anyway.

Ref done properly. I’d like to think so now ! I knew it was a risk buying. Car like this but I love landys. Most people just don’t get “it” I totally rebuilt my D1 from the ground up. Every bit and bolt starting in 2001. Bought it in a terrible state off a mates dad cheap. Then got bitten by the bug. Lol.

I’m really sorry to sound like I’m gloating mate and I don’t mean to rub salt in a wound but the air con is so good ! My van doesn’t have it so having it now in this weather is a god send !

Ref centre bearing, if the collar is split you’ll see it straight away ! I think you have to drop the heat shield to do it from underneath also. The bearing was quite rough also.

Thankyou ref the ctek. I didn’t know. I don’t know anything about them so thanks for that.

Ref iid. No I haven’t got a manual ? Is it a download ?

Hi mate

Don’t be daft, know ur not gloating , u deserve every bit mate after all ur hard work and pat on the back

This is my first discovery , done a chassis swap on a series and know what u mean about the Land Rover bug , this D3 was a project , bought it dirt cheap as I also wanted something to do and know it’s been frustrating at times but if my favourite landy so far

Like urself had landies over 25 x years and when I think coming from a series to the D3 there worlds apart

Is also so nice when I go out with the dogs and my parents there’s plenty of room, also easier dropping the suspension so easier for them to get in and out

Thks for the info ref the prop bearing , very helpful

Here the link for u ref the iif manual , printed the whole manual out and yes need to get out more as I will often sit in the garden having a read of it

Hiya mate,

I was offered a series Landy before I bought the disco1. After a test drive I ran away. Lol. My brother in law loves his 90, whenever I go in it with him I can’t get over how noisy and agricultural it is. He’s started building one on a galv chassis using a disco1 v8 running gear that I sold him.

Going to give mine a run today to make sure it’s all ok ready for hols tomorrow. We’re going camping down the gower so hopefully not a too taxing run. I just have to work out how to get 4 van loads of kit into the car and 1 wife and 2 kids. Going to be interesting.

Thankyou for the iid link, can I download that to my iPad ?

Hope all is good mate

Hi mate

Also meant to ask, do u or ur dad ever use extendable ratchets please , Been looking at a few and haven’t actually got a bigger 1/2 rachet so that’s why I started looking this type

Of course wouldn't use it for heavy work, got breaker bars for that

Many thks

Actually , Something like this might be better with it also having the warranty

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clarke-PRO199-3....l4275.c10

I don’t have one of those, to be honest I manage with normal ones, it’s one of those things, until you try a new tool and think “wow that made it easier” you just don’t know.

Hi mate

Indeed remember the noise at 50mph flat out, one of my series was a diesel

Sounds like I need a trailer , put seats in them for the kids

Indeed u can download it onto the iPad, someone kindly mine out so easier not having to go through it via the screen as I didn’t have a printer at the time

Sounds good having a run out today in advance

Hope u have a well earned break mate

I don’t have one of those, to be honest I manage with normal ones, it’s one of those things, until you try a new tool and think “wow that made it easier” you just don’t know.

Cheers , just thought it easier getting one of those instead of a mixture , got to wait though as I’m saving up in case when I test the ac system i find the condensor is at fault

But think it will be very handy to have and think it’s not a bad price either

Ref the AC, got to make up a fitting to go from my air compressor to the AC gauges hose, have got one I made up a little while ago so will utilise some of the fittings , take all the yellow hose off and gauge , just need a connection from the gauge hose to the tyre inflater

Wondering if I can get a fitting that will fit inside the ballofix type valve that will screw onto the manifold gauge hose ??

Was thinking if I put the shrieder valve on I can use my air compressors tyre inflator to fill the ac system up to 10-15psi , do have a regulator so can limit the max output

Will connect to the low side of the ac, well , with it empty there won’t be any high or low side

Also got that pump up sprayer bottle, thinking of just putting some washing up liquid into the sprayer

What do u think plse
