Fit bigger tyres with the ratel x spare wheel carrier
Просмотров 70421 день назад
With the new spare wheel arriving from back order it was time to change the wheel carrier for something a bit nicer. The bigger tyres meant that there was very little clearance on the bumper so an upgraded one from ratel-x industries fixed this.

    Happy Birthday! Looking forward to your trip with the trailer (caravan). I wouldn't be too quick to swap out the engine.

    Happy Birthday Dan. The compressor is a bit small for an impact gun, but what you can do is plumb a fitting direct to the tank. Just make sure to put a bit of oil in the gun daily. To set the fuel pump timing with a dial indicator alone, tie a piece of rope onto the spanner for turning the crank and place it on the crank bolt facing down, then you can stand by the right side fender looking down at the dial gauge while pulling on the rope attached to the spanner to turn the motor over.

      From someone who lives in Portugal and owns a 300tdi Disco, if you are coming down to Iberia and towing on top of that, do all the cooling you mentioned first, so if any gremlins come up after the replace you have time to sort it still at home. Consider replacing the expansion tank... And last but not least, refurbish the AC, if you are coming with kids in August, it's a must...

    Replace bushings in front radius arms and install standard bushing without mid size tube. Make sure your central diff lock housing front shaft output has no wear. otherwise front diff flange will be loose and front shaft will give you vibrations. AFAIR double cardan needs to go to the LT230 and front in line with axle casing. then double compensate angle of LT230 and front is parallel to front axle pinion. Consider going for rubber type coupling on rear diff as it will eliminate any issues with angle on rear and should act as sort of vibration damper.

    • @unclesam44
      @unclesam44 Месяц назад

      Yes. It will cure root cause assuming double cardan will face LT230 (so front prop shaft to be installed opposite). However note bushings on frond radius also matter how it transfer vibrations ( i see you push in double sleeved bushings which is not good) . Double check front flange play on LT230. I know the bearing is with extra float etc. but it needs to be super tight in the end. Otherwise centre diff casing (FTC5207) require replacement as intermediate shaft is loose on the splines.
