Bloody discovery lol
by andytats on Sat Jan 19, 2013 6:28 pm
I was driving up to see my mums because she is in hospital. I got about 60 miles into the journey Come off the A14 in Ipswich then I lost all drive to the wheels so tryed the clutch that was fine put the transfer box in to 4l still no drive so tryed the diff lock I had drive again. So limped 40 miles to a bloke in Chelmsford who was breaking a discovery. Bought a half shalf then limped home. Got home to start fixing it.

I suggested that as well Renegade lol.
Always an advantage with Disco's knowing that one is bound to be on EBay near wherever you are being broken. It's like having a 24 hour emergency parts supplier.

True, that does work well, haven't seen any second hand disco body shells though! 
Gotta say I'm surprised at the whole CV joint thing though, I though all discos were solid axled at the front! Is it a really new one?

Disco and Defender front axles are the same. CV is located in the swivel ball and links the inner half shaft to the drive flange (same as a Fronty but totally encased) which inturn is bolted to the outer side of the hub. With out it you wouldn't be able to steer the front axle.
