Thread: Donut.

TVF100010 I believe. Don't like your chances of finding one on the shelf at the places you named, but I suspect they could order one in, although who would be the manufacturer?. Probably quicker and more reliable to go here, unless you are totally averse to online shopping. Anyway, the part number(s) are at the bottom of the page.

Thanks John, I'll try HS direct.

Just a word of warning that I and I think a few others have found out changing the rotoflex ...

Don't be tempted just to change the donut alone.
Also get the 'pin' and the bush cup to fully renew all the components that affect the donut.

Pin is on the diff side and the bush is inside the driveshaft(bit of a pain to remove).

Have a peek at THIS website to see the parts listing for it.

You'll see a kit for the donut which comes with bolts and the bush.
I reckon the listing for the bush is incorrectly priced(usually about $20ish, not $200 that they have)

Just to give you an idea of the parts and numbers needed. The pin is about $20 too, and needs some inventiveness to remove(sockets, bolts and it comes out easy).

I read on AULRO a long time ago, that a BMW will also fit and last longer. Anyone got further info on that, BMW year/model.
HS are showing one LR in the country, at Wollongong.

Thanks Arthur, are the pins available only from LR oriented purveyors or will it be a generic/stock item from Hardy Spicier or a driveline type retailer?

Dunno why HS would have made different quality for different cars, especially given that BMW owned LR when the D2 was being developed, and at the beginning of manufacture. Still, strange thing DO happen I guess.

KLR stock them even though they aren't yet on their website.

Land Rover were using them before BMW became their masters. IIRC, the BMW one is slightly thicker.
