hello all,

So here is the up date on my 96 se7.

I bought the landy just over 1 year ago, The dealer I bought it from (not an LR dealer) told me that the fron end needed alignment when I bought it, so I negotiated a cheaper price and said I would do the alignment myself.

Stupid.

Since then the first thing that went wrong was the front right caliper siezed on, the bill from LR was just over 1700 dollars canadian, for this they replaced the front rotors both siddes, with new pads, and installed a new caliper.

At the same time they replaced the front left wheel bearings.

Since then I have just finished replacing the complete front track rod ends and steering damper, feels real good now, and I have an appointment on friday for a full alignment job. great,

One thing I did notice before doing my track rod ends was a click click click click noise from the front left wheel when on full lock left or right when turning, I thought this was the track rod ends, they were really bad the old ones, the car wandered all over the road.

I am beginning to believe that it could be the wheel bearing ? even though the bearing was replaced by the LR dealership just over 1 year ago.

does anyone or has anyone ever heard the same sort of noise ? have you got a remedy ? any suggestions will be gratefully recieved..........because the dealership warranty is only for 1 year;;; hummmmmmmm..

PS. Now I am real mad, my lug nuts on the wheels wont fit the wrench, any suggestions ?

also, replacing the flex disc does work, it gets rid of a load of vibrations, but I think it will need to have the prop shaft balanced because I still have some vibrations there, anyone had this done before ? any suggestions on this one ?

I am either numb from the cold when lying under my Disco all the time or I am getting so used to not having it run properly, I am not sure which is true anymore, but I want to get it fixed;

John.
