Disco 1 Sump Removal

Saline0809 · Sep 16, 2016

Hi all,
Need to remove sump and reseal as it is leaking at the rear bolts. What do I need to remove to be able to get it out? Anything special to be aware of if removing ARB etc?

a jack between axle and chassis will help

Thanks James
If I just jack up the chassis in the front would that give enough room without taking off ARB ?

should do ,though its only 4 x 17mm headed bolts if it doesnt

And no matter how much you think you've drained it it will drip oil for England. Are you sure that it's not the rear oil seal that's leaking?

I can see oil actually weeping out at the rearmost centre bolt. I recently put in a new head , rings , bearings etc and was able to get sump out easily with everything stripped. I probably stuffed up the gasket sealer when I was putting it back in though.

Easily done especially if you're doing it lying on your back from underneath.

Put the sump on last night (carefully) and left loctite sealant to sure for 24 hours. Just done 70km and not a drop of oil in sight so far.

Thanks for the advice

There must be something wrong then!!! A Land Rover NOT loosing any oil

Sorry, couldn't resist, I've got more leaks than a sive at the moment. But one by one they're getting plugged. Well done that man!!!
