So saturday was an eventful day. I went over to a friends garage to sort out the front kingpins as they were a bit "used" and put on some protective covers to the swivel housings.
All went well and we stripped down the wheel stations regreased and sorted the kingpins out.
The small fly in the ointment was the discovery that the transfer box had eaten one of its bushes. this was the bigger clonk that I had noticed a few days before. So drained the oil and removed the inspection panel and found teeth and glitter! Never a nice thing to find inside a gearbox.
So onto the internet and a posting in on www.lr4x4.com and quite a few offers of T boxes came in. I opted for a defender one but it was in Felixstowe. So a fast drive over in the golf on sunday afternoon and I collected a Discovery 300tdi t-box. yeah well we thought it was a defender one but on inspection of the numbers it wasnt. Never mind it should be better for the long drive through Spain.
The vehicle has now had its errant tbox removed and I am going over to the garage this afternoon to deliver the replacement so fingers crossed!
