110 TDCi Front Axle - Same as other marques?
The nearside front spring seat has collapsed on my 110. The inner vertical 'leg' has bent resulting in the horizontal spring seat no longer being horizontal

The spring seat does not appear to be serviceable as it is welded on so I am looking to replace the axle casing

Are TD5 axle casings interchangeable or do I specifically need a TDCi one?

Cheers

You can buy replacement weld on brackets, £7 or so each. Takes ten minutes to cut old one off and weld on new one, can be done with axle in situ if you remove spring. I did the above last month.

You could cut off the item and buy a nice new one to weld on from YRM

£8 +VAT, and only 1-2hrs labour (locally) if you can't do it yourself. Less time and £££ than a total axle replacement.

Brilliant! Thanks both

Is this a common issue then?

Not on a vehicle as young as yours.

On old Land Rovers it’s not uncommon as they eventually rust or the damper pin wears the hole into an oval.

Was the TDCi used by or in the Sea? Confused Working towards Carry on camping!

No it's spent its life inland really. The other three seem fine but will inspect again on the weekend

Hopefully my trusty Clarke 150 amp is man enough for the job
