Title: CV Bearing Failure - UPDATED - NEW TOY FITTED
Post by: Telaren on June 05, 2007, 19:23:39: My CV went about 2 months ago and I stripped it down and found the pin bearing totally trashed. :shock:

Whilst it was off I replaced the CV as well as the bearing. :wink:

This seemed to fix the problem :D

In the last couple of days there has been the telltale squeel coming from the same wheel. :?

Will have to strip it down again in the morning. :cry:

Anyone know if this is a common problem or is there a secret to fitting that I have not come accross? :?:

Will update with findings tomorrow.

I got the lamps about 18mth ago and mounted them on my lightbar on my Defender.

Got them off a Landy guy off Eblag for abou Ã‚Â£35 including wiring loom.

They do come up but not often.

After a quick fettle with the dremmel the mounted snuggly into the grill.

I found that big spots tend to get bashed with playing off road.

Post by: Telaren on June 11, 2007, 11:36:37: Hi Chris

The winch including wireless remote came to about Ã‚Â£210

The mounting plate cost Ã‚Â£20 for the steel plate and a length of angle

I made the mount myself as I did not want a large sticking out winch bumper.

As for the number plate :-

If you want my details please let me know.

Post by: Telaren on June 13, 2007, 00:10:19: Stripped down the CV unit this morning.

Found everything to be OK. :?

Cleaned everything and re-greased / oiled

Rebuilt and went for a test run.

Everything now seems OK.

Landies - A marvel of mechanical engineering. :lol:

Hi Dave

Just seen these on Eblag and remembered you were after some.

Post by: muddyjames on July 04, 2007, 18:35:04: is a standard bumper strong enough to take a winch? I would have thought it would just bend and buckle when put under strain? I know they are rated to 100kg so fitting a tow bar is no probs for manouvering a trailer / caravan around.

Post by: Telaren on July 05, 2007, 13:33:38: Hi, The winch is mounted on a custom winch plate bolted to the chasis and the Fairlead only is bolted to the bumper with a re-inforced plate.
