Broken Land Rover disco 2
 

Hi guys,
My first post and it’s a help request

Welcome.

What's gone wrong?


(Fellow Disco 2 owner !!!)

Yes, how can we help?

Another D2 owner, love my car.

Also check out the forum on 4x4community.co.za, lots of info under the Landy section.

Hi Guys,

We think it’s the CV joint, have found a guy in Bilbao that should be able to help

Front propshaft? That is a known D2 problem, because LR in their infinite wisdom did not add grease nipples. If you get yours overhauled or replaced, make sure you get one with grease nipples so you can grease it.

Propshaft U/J or CV joint? The U/Js are reasonably easy and any garage should be able to do them. All you really need is a hammer, a drift, some circlip pliers and a vice once you've got the shaft off.

The CV joint is a bit more tricky as the front hub nut is seriously tight. Again, not hard but it's all big lumps of heavy metal. Nothing a decent workshop couldn't handle but getting the parts is going to be the time consuming element I suspect. You heading out or coming back (assuming you're UK based)?

On our way to Portugal (hopefully!) just waiting to hear from the garage

It's been a few days so I hope you've got it sorted by now. If you have I hope it goes well for you and the D2 for the rest of the trip.:thumbup1:

Hi,
Yeah turns out it was a wheel bearing! All sorted and now we are in Portugal ❤️ Thanks guys
