New and having problems already!

[Essexdaz]

Hi all, i have brought a 95 swb mav

had a problem on a friends farm last night where i couldnt get the 4 wheel drive to work, only rwd, so after doing some research i took the auto hubs apart (1 only had a cover on it, nothing inside and the other fell apart) so i went to the scrappy and brought some more. fitted them today and no joy. the front prop spins and the pass side drive shaft spins but not locking in and no drive shaft spinning on the drivers side. apart from that i love the truck, just starting to get a headace and annoyed at the farmer in his disco having to tow me out telling me how great they are !
if anyone can give me some advice it will b much appreciated . Daz

[Essexdaz]

i had it in 4wd low, rears spin front prop spins. drivers side prop dont but pass does, but pass wheel dont spin.. im learing about these quite quickly but i just want it to work!

[Essexdaz]

sorry im confusing things! what i ment to say was prop to diff spins, just pass drive shaft spins not drivers! (been a long day)!

Passenger side auto hub faulty then, check ALL parts are there, not just the auto hub.

There are brake rings in there too.
All info in download section.

What he said :thumbs

[Essexdaz]

thanks for the help guys, i was worrying it was going to be something major. so would the hubs playing up only make only 1 drive shaft spin?

[makeitfit]

Yep open diff up front so one side will spin :thumb2

[Essexdaz]

thats good :) looks like im gonna have them both off and sorted in the daylight. thanks for your help

[makeitfit]

Just look at the n/s one next to the drivers side. You'll soon see the missing part. Probably the snap ring :thumb2

[Lazy-Ferret]

The T2 have a limited slip diff on the back, so basically it will always try to drive both the wheels at the same speed in both 2 and 4 wheel drive.

When you put it in 4 wheel drive there is no centre diff or limited slip on the front diff, so now you will get drive to both rear wheels, and both front wheels as long as they both have grip. But if either front wheel should be able to spin, all the drive goes to the wheel that has the least resistance.

So it sounds like one of the hubs is not locking to the shaft, which means as soon as you get stuck and both the rear wheels can spin, all the drive goes to the bad hub, not putting any drive to the front wheels.

I have not had to do my hubs on the T2, so don't have any first hand experience but I would definitely start by checking out the service manual, in the downloads section, and making sure the hubs are assembled correctly.

I've got a pair of good fwh for sale if u want

[Essexdaz]

cool, all starting to make sence now. is the snap ring fitted within the back bit that comes off with the 6x allen keys or is it behind the sirclip? i took the whole hub off at the scrappy as i wasnt sure what bit i wanted :)

cept mine on me off roader, it is welded up, so both spin no matter what, aim to do the same on the rear diff as and when, Rick

[Essexdaz]

ok, no more questions. ive got it apart now (well got the spring and the first metal piece out... wish me luck!)

[makeitfit]

Just pulling your plonker mate lol :rolleyes:
Could simply be in need of a good clean and regrease.

[jims-terrano]

Hey welcome aboard, it's a common problem. These motors shouldn't be run in 4wd on a hard surface and also lack of use, both reasons for this happening. It happened to mine too.

I've been a member on here from the start and saved more than the membership every year. I've seen similar posts every year when the snow comes. When the 4wd is fixed you'll be hard pressed to find a better machine, then you'll be pulling the Disco's out of trouble:thumbs

When you have paid your £10 you'll start fixing the problems you never knew you had..:lol:lol

Most things on these trucks can be fixed very cheaply, or for free.
I spent £6.50 last year on mine:doh that was one of the more expensive years.

I'll give you a free fix..
When on full lock you may hear a graunching noise.
Cost to repair.... free... put a bit of grease on the steering stops, 2 each side on the front hubs, one at the front... one at the back of the hub...

now watch this space for more...:bow

Best regards, Rustic

I haven't mentioned the MAF or the Mini filter issue, or the wet carpet in the passenger footwell, or the wet rear carpet. These are all free fixes too?

So it's ok I won't say how these are fixed...:thumbs

[Essexdaz]

Just to let u know the 4 wheel drive all works now, I've currently got half the dash out, hard wired the cb To the battery, fitted a new aerial on to the roof for the normal stereo as the old one in the wing was knackered and re-doing the wireing for the rear work lights and light bar on the roof as the previous owner had stripped the wire and pushed it in alongside fuses on the fusebox ( no relay fuse ect ect) so hopefully should all b back on the road in a few days

[Lazy-Ferret]

well done..

Good to hear you are doing the wiring properly, I have seen some awful bodge jobs in my time, some very scary.
