Thread: The long to do list. My D1 V8

Whats the doughnut at the rear like?

Secondly yea i would be looking at dry swivels. A good option is to change out the gasket and rip another out to make them oil instead of the grease. Easier to refill.

The donuts well on its way out, it's the old one before the cheap one died. It's not the same noises as I had when the donut went beforehand so I am gonna rule it out for now. I changed the oil in the swivels a few weeks ago but I think most is it has leaked out now. It wasnt leaking so bad before maybe it already had grease in it. I don't really wanna grease em but honestly can't throw the cash at it right now I need brake pads so that's were the LR funds are going this week. I still have a bottle of oil maybe I'll fill em back up and see if it shuts it up.

Cheers Jim

If there not setup for oil then its not a good idea i think? (please the more wise here correct me if im wrong)
You need to pull a seal out by memory to allow it to get the oil from the diff. Thats why a new seal is normally standard, to stop the buggers leaking. Old seal and its sure to leak like a sive.
Get that one shot stuff and fill it with that. Wont leak then.

I always thought they were oil filled and grease was just a get me through. Here's a screenshot of the book see what you think

I could have sworn the D1 had one shot mate.
I have to step aside for the night, few too many sherberts, i could be leading you astray and i dont want to do that.
I was sure it was and i did a seal thing.. Im sure of it hahahhaahah.

Await others to clarify.

A link from a drunken man

Land Rover Discovery 1, One Shot Swivel Grease Sachet | eBay

They sell it mate. Seems its a solution to a problem rather than factory sorry my mistake.

STC3435 grease. 1 tube each side, no seals to be removed. The price on that link is wrong!

Well I'm convinced I've got dry balls hahaha so I got some LMM grease from repco, best I could do on the fly. Soon I'm gonna gonna drain the oil out if there's any left in them and grease em up!
Also got a fuel filter I'm hoping that might help with it running rough.

Cheers Jim

Alright so I managed to get it done easy enough without the 1 shots. I made my own out of a glad bag and silicone tip it worked a treat.
A thimble of oil come out of both so hopfully it quiets down now.
I forgot to adjust the handbrake the wind was bloody annoying so I wanted to get out of it.
I'll take it for a run later and see how it sounds.

Cheers Jim
