Good parts can usually be found cheap enough for 38s except certain items that are insanely priced. If you’re willing to spanner yourself it’s fairy frugal.
It'll all be done myself. Far too cheap to pay someone else to do it!
Anyone used westway oils? Dexron 3 ATF is only £45 ish for 10L - Assuming that's roughly the amount I'll need

I used morris oils, think it was £24 for 5 ltrs. Its been a while but I recall if you remove a bolt from the right hand side of the nearside gearbox vertical heat shield it will flex out of the way enough to give much better access to the sump bolts.
That bolt has a lot of unnecessary exposed thread which had gone cruddy making removal a bit tougher than normal, I replaced it with a shorter ss one.
I've heard talk of a magnet in the sump but there wasn't one in mine.
I also found that the britpart filter kit sump gasket didn't fit as nice as the original, but it did the job, and one of the copper washers was incorrect for either the drain or fill plugs, I forget which, so chuck nowt away until the job is done.
Pretty sure it was the fill plug washer that was wrong.
You will only get 4 to 5 ltrs of oil out , I did two changes around 100 miles apart, some say 3 changes for belt and braces. Follow RAVE for correct fill level procedure.
Brilliant. Job for the weekend. Going to get some springs on order too.

Land Rover do have a fix - the gen 3 RF receiver. Moreover the knew about it before they stopped making the car.

If Arnott Gen 3 go for it. Otherwise I would stick with Dunlop.
Still not managed to sync key - for 2001 model and also in the handbook it says the key should sync in the ignition.
Currently unlocking doors manually. I am a but worried about wearing out the microswitch in the door though.
Not gen 3.

They had some issues with gen 2 leaking in Europe. That was a few years ago but old stock might still be kicking around.

Open the car. Shut the door. Press lock button then lock with the key. Then press unlock button and then unlock with the key. Try it a few times. If it doesn't work then clear the RF memory using the Nanocom and try again. At one stage I could only sync the second key if the first fob had first unlocked the car.

If the battery is draining because the car is waking up due to spurious RF signals then yes,it's the blue wire,and you will have to stand by the rear driver side window to be able to use the fob.
