Rather than buying a set of sockets and a breaker bar to get the wheel off? to do a spring conversion requires more than just a socket for the wheel nuts.

Cheers

I'm lazy too, but rather than waste my money other peoples labour i'd rather buy cool stuff to go on it.

Good luck with yo mobile mechanic, you'll need it.

My D1 ‘needed’ almost nothing other then the P gasket. I went a bit mad replacing bits that probably didn’t need doing though then I found some rot and it’s sat on the drive since.

The D2 has needed various bits already with more on the to do list. Start putting some money to one side for maintenance and read as much as you can on here. I read every problem I can so hopefully I’ll have some idea when things happen. Proper diagnostics have proved really useful several times already so something else worth saving for.

They are great at what they do but any D2 is probably reaching an age where it needs a little fettling, the more you can do yourself the better and it’s rewarding knowing you’ve learnt and fixed something. My D2 is about to become my daily driver, I’m sure it’ll need the odd tinker here and there but it’s a very capable very comfy car which is great for hauling stuff/people about in. Hopefully you’ll get the bug and get into doing what you can yourself.

No money, then requesting help with the simplest of task(nothing wrong with that in itself), then when help isn't forthcoming a professional is appointed and an admission of being lazy (hence said request for some kind hearted soul to pop round and do it for him), then a pompous 'I'm a pay the labour kind of guy' remark.
A new member I see, not the kind of introductory approach that will win friends and influence people on a forum i my humble opinion..... just saying

Won't be a LR owner long especially as he is already trashing it with the first job he's having done lol!
