Have you drilled a big hole for the RR umbrella to go in? @Anaconda

The umbrella should always be open as landrovers leak that bad.

Are they both fully closed, look like different lengths

Hadn't extended the new one. Fits and runs great.

The closed length is different, as the axle moves the prop will lengthen or shorten. If not going off road it might not matter so much.

Only managed to take it up and down the lane but early indications are that it has gone. As I've got it, I'll change the front over over the next couple of days as I'd assume it's in similar condition, but looking good.

That reminds me, need to top up the brake fluid.

Does anyone know how regularly brake fluid should need to be being topped up? I’m about a month and 3k miles in and am needing to top up again. Would that indicate a leak somewhere or is that fairly normal?

Sounds like a drip somewhere as the level should only drop if the pads are getting worn and the pistons are all further out which should take longer than 3000 miles

Very rarely, infact I never have. Really you should be looking at changing it every couple of years or so..
