Baltis states, in a 300 TDI Discovery
 

We have just taken delivery of a 1995,300 TDI Discovery, Our goal is to drive across the ice roads in the Baltic Islands next December January, 2008/9 Simply we are looking for any advice on Vehicle preperation, And places that should not be missed,
Many thanks

i expect you've already heard of it. but check the output shaft on the gearbox. without a cross drilled output gear the splines wear & leave you with no drive at just the wrong time.
if you take the circular plate off the back of the transfer box, 8 bolts, up & left from the handbrake its behind there. the gear will just slide out with a twist & its easy to spot wear.
oh & of course the cambelt, there was a mod for 300tdis which changed the pulleys so they didnt eat the belt. cant remember the details though as i only had a 200tdi. id carry a set of pushrods & rockers amongst your spares, thats all that ever normally breaks if the cambelt does go.

Thanks Hooli
She is booked in on the 3rd january for cam belt ect but i will check out transfer box Cheers for that,

You still hope there will be ice roads then? :cool4:

Winter tires are required by law (at least M+S markings or studded).
