Hi Svante,

Henrik,
I knew nothing about Land Rovers until I brought the 90 last year, despite driving them for years in the army. Doing the wheel bearings is not such a problem, but my advice is to get a spare hub, not so expensive, then fit the bearing races before you take the old hub off, can refurbish the old one in your own good time. see photos below. Make sure you clean out the old thread with a tap. Also dont event try to remove the half shaft flange bolts without a goot minute of heating until you see the grease start to bubble out the bolts. I striped several bolts to learn this.
I recommend checking what system you have lock nuts ot stake nut, I think stake nut on TD5. just take the end cap off the front axle and you can see. Stake nut looks like photo attached. Likely the same on all axles unless someone has been messing.
The stake nut system is a bit more tricky to set up, you will need a dial test indicator and a selection of spaces. I have laods so can help you there. Dont be tempted to use the old stake nut. Also I ground a small chisle down to open the old nut up. Shame you are not close would be happy to help.
Good Luck
P.S, No cheap bearings, get Timken
P.P.S. Change the disks while you have the hub offHi Henrik,
I fitted one last winter a dog save, see attached. I would recommend it as its very nice using the remote to warm up the cab from the living room. Why not just buy one of the ready made stand alone ones. See photo. All you need to do is have a hole for the exhaust and intake.

Hi Henrik,
Yes more time than usual, normally I am home for 6 weeks a year trying to cram everything in… I still have a long list of things to do, including fitting a new heater matrix, new read diff and the job I am trying to avoid sorting the wiring out… not a job I like doing.
Can you put a photo up of the colour raptor you used. You just add colour to the black?
All the Best Michael
Hi Henrik,
Lof do some very nice geat, I fitted their disks on the front. Now my wallet is buring looking at these…
Hilsen Michael
HI Andreas,
I would order from Paddock https://www.paddockspares.com/catalog/category/view/s/calipers-and-pistons/id/6009/
I just made an order and it took 3 working days, but pay for DHL not UPS from UK, took 9 weeks and really bad customer service. Had really bad experiences with UPS. Also recommend you go for AP.All the Best Michael

Joakim,
I have found this site a God send when it comes to reference, https://www.lrworkshop.com/
Also this guy on Youtube has taught me a great deal, and he is funny. https://britrest.com/my-youtube-video-playlists/All the Best Michael
Hello Tobias,
What temperature are you getting, the best I can find is it should be between 87 and 94C. On mine it has never gone above half way and is normally around 5mm left of that. Have you tried checking the actual temperature at the sensor with a lazer thermometer and checking the ECU reported temp with a Hawkeye or similar, it may be the gauge.
Also what mix of coolant do you have, coolant is more effective at transferring heat than water, so if you have a strong mix it could impact. I run 50/50 with distilled water, not tap water.
I have recently fitted an electric fan, it never comes on and I will fit a radiator cover and the engine cover before winter.
All the Best Michael

Hi Ethan,
Can I ask why you want to switch away from studded? I live up in the North and we get loads of snow and ice. I hit some black ice last year and would have been in a ditch if it was not for my studs, there was no traction at all. This said I am driving M/S Cooper tires i the summer and I met a Jeep driver in the winter who used them all year round. Great in packed snow, but he admitted not fun on ice.
Sorry didn’t answer your question but for me unless you live in a city, it will always be studs and even chains, see photo : )
All the Best Michael
