    Tools needed for most landy repairs

    Heya guys... i basically have a very bad habit with vehicles in which i drive them till they break then pay someone to fix them as i have no clues in regards to most things mechanical.

    But decided it's time to change that so after some suggestions on what i need to purchase in regards to repairs/maintenance etc... i have a basic super**** toolkit but want to get some better quality bits and pieces without spending an absolute fortune for things i won't need... so after specific size spanners etc.

    I know the 9/16th is what i need to remove a drive shaft... and i guess a vice would be handy for helping to remove the spline... what else???

    Cheers in advance

    hub nut spanner, around $12 i think, using a chisel and hammer is a pretty rough way of doing it

    The tube spanner weeds mentions above is 52mm.

    ABW-70741 Ford Fan Hub Spanner to undo the fan. It's a reverse thread by the way. http://www.collinsid.com.au/ - I bought mine from here - no affiliation with them, but you can see what it is on this site.

    A T55 (I think it's a T55) Torx bit for the filler plug on an R380 gearbox.

    Your standard half inch ratchet will do the filler and drains on the diffs I think (they do on my Disco 1).

    It should do, TD5s as well, but they are right hand thread, not left hand thread.

    my minimum tool kit is...

    1x set ring/open end imperial (3/8th-15/16ths)
    1x set ring open end Metric (8-24mm)
    2 flat head screwdrivers
    2 phillips head
    1 pair of vice grips
    1 pair of combination pliers
    1 pair of needlenose pliers
    and a socket set..

    that will see you right for 90% of your normal rover maintenance..

    Most other things you will be able to beg or borrow from rover nuts Like me who have everything, right down to the jet setting toll for an early zenith carby.

    And 1/2 inch drive on that socket set (at least), you never know what you may end up using it for.

    The ABW fan hub spanner available from repco

    Yes the fan hub spanner fits a 300TDi
    Yes it is a T55 for the filler.

    I bought one of the ABW spanners from Repco Auburn, Sydney and they normally have it on display. Only one in sydney according to their computer. paid about $32- Made that job a cinch but you guess the torque when putting it back.

    Is the wheel hub socket (52mm?) the same as Toyota (sorry about that)?

    I would also add

    A 3/4 breaker bar and a 27mm 3/4" drive single hex impact socket for tboth the wheel nuts and the crank bolt.

    A 10mm single hex deep socket for the glowplugs.

    A small digital multimeter with a spare battery.

    but i guess you have to draw the line somewhere.

    A towel and some citrus based hand cleaner as it can be used without water!
