Looking good congratulations on the new carAfter 6months owning a defender, I'm back in a discovery

2006 TDV6 Manual S
153000miles recent cambelts, rear diff, rear air bags...more I can't remember. Good history anyway. 4 matching tyres with decent tread.
She needs a new hub n/s/f so I'll do both fronts, and the tailgate won't open. There's other minor bits but they're my priority.
Really impressed with how these drive, they're a bit stupid quick for the size about 3-4mpg better than a standardish td5 defender so far and really, really comfortable.
Plan for next 2 week's is
Sort tailgate and hubs
Wash her. Thoroughly. She's filthy
Polish the headlights
Do the tip run
Etc etc
Link to @gstuart buyers guide, came in very handy https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/buyers-guide.312800/
Embarrassingly looking forward to towing the van with her
I'll post more pics when she's clean and will do a little walk through in discovery forum on how to strip tailgate and get to upper actuator and latch and what have ya. I've done it today but will wait til I've fitted new parts so it's complete with solution
Thanks to a few lads on here for advice and listening to me change my mind every 5mins you know who you are
Fair play mate looking good
Happy days mate, now that ps what u call a caravan , so what did u think towing with the D3 for the first time pls
Know the D3 has won awards for tow car of the year
Have a great weekend
It was mint, no drama at all. The missus was really happy, she never felt good in the defender lol. I'm really pleased with it, going up a decent hill single carriageway national speed limit, 5th gear kept it at 50 all the way up at 1500rpm. Effortless
I really hope it doesn't have a massive issue waiting to surprise me cuz I do really like it. If it wasn't economical for me to repair I'd definitely have another one.
Time for a beer, cheers!
Enjoy. Hope the weekend turns nice for you all
We have one of those wheelie water barrels too, and a little portable pump to fill the tank.

Always good to hear it towed well and SWMBO is also happy, nice drive then with the tunes on , lol
I’ve done a lot of preventive maintenance on mine and think with these u have to ensure items are resolved and not allowed to get into a bigger problem
I only do 2 - 3,000 miles per year yet still change all the oils filters regardless every year
Have a great evening and weekend
Cheers Gary, I plan to look after this once I know what it's about. If I can get it like yours I'd be happy!
Have a good one mate
@gstuart @Nodge68
Gents could you have a look at this please?
Dipped a cable tie into the front diff filler to check state of oil r.e what I mentioned in other thread
Dropped a small puddle onto the bench, this looks ok to me? Smells nice and fresh, although when I took filler plug out, it let some oil out straight away. Car is cold, not been driven today.

I understand these diffs are filled with a specific amount, not until it starts to appear at filler hole?
Thanks
Hi mate
Does look ok but personally would still change it just so u know 100% it’s the correct oil and correct amount
Might have been overfilled or under pressure when u removed the filler plug from a blocked diff breather
