When i pull the front half shaft out.. will it drop a ton of oil or will i get away with jacking high on one side?
I don't want to be nobbing around with the fill plug just now if i can help it

My bad, 13.6 I think, it's difficult getting my drop tester to the battery, it seems I have to dismantle half the car to change the battery on this one! i'll try the jump lea to the engine if I can fond a metal part on the engine, everything is hidden on these cars. I had a similar problem on a previous voguse, an additional earth strap sorted it. anyway, I've got home start recovery coming over to see if it's a simple fix. I've got no reason to think it's a starter failure as such. I can't measure the voltage drop when starting because it won't start. Voltage drop after test was still in the green bit, I'll double check in a while.

The other problem, not so important, I had the heater valve replaced a few weeks ago, got the aircon re-gassed. Heating now works as it should, aircon takes quite a while to blow cold air into the car, just very hot air when it's been in the sun all day. Driving along, it takes about 3 miles to blow cold. Any ideas on that one?

Takes a while for the aircon to get down to temperature. Hotter it is the longer it takes.
 
I know what that feels like!! Having lost the tab washers for the camshaft timing gear on my 1952 AEC coach, and having tried 6 time today to get the timing spot-on...uuurgh. Otherwise listening to the local Spitfires flying around and hopefully not crash-landing like on did yesterday, and watching the robins build their nests in our workshop, the Range rover has been a Very Naughty Car, needs a new starter so I'm told.

Heater valve probably has no connection to your AC issue.

Ours (black car) it also blows hot at first but will be blowing cold within a min, have you tried to push the AC max button?

Did they give it enough gas?
We had an expansion valve (they called it low pressure valve) issue a few years ago where it would blow cold then hot for a while.

I dont see why you cant measure the fill/level plug (on level ground) and then jack up the lowest opening to keep the oil in.

I've done that on the 110 and the 38 with no oil loss, couple of drips clinging to the shaft at worst, a rag on the floor and another to wipe the shaft as you withdraw it if your drive is nice.
