Gave mine an oil and filter change this morning. I have been running on 10/40oil, thought I would try 15/40 as that's whats recommended in the Land Rover book.

Steering relay, what a #### of a job! Hours of ****ing around and swearing...well worth it though not having to constantly correct the steering and managed to park up on our street without dislocating a shoulder!

It's from a dealer

it's getting a fresh MOT, service and full underseal ready for Friday

barraldo · Dec 1, 2013

Took the rear bench seats out of my CSW. The rear just gets filled up with hay, dogs, you name it and seats were getting trashed.

Amphermiser · Dec 1, 2013

I carried on fabricating and fitting the upper hydraulic hull lid, and started on the spring hanger welding jig

pbuf · Dec 1, 2013

I removed the 24 spline front axle off my defender and fitted a 10 spline one off a lower mile discovery for the time being. The 24 spline needs kingpins, bearings, seals and the diff is rumbling baaad. Rebuild time.

What a swine of a job to do without a helper.

not knowing what year it is or what your paying for it, presume you've checked or had it checked out?
dealers aint all their cracked up to be......

MaxyMan · Dec 1, 2013

New clutch, new gearbox, new tranny box, new radiator. Not bad for days work I don't think. Head gasket now to do one night this week..
New gearbox..

Box joined box..

And just changing the clutch, that turned out to be good nick anyway!!

****note I did this without removing any floor pans or seat box etc, just the tunnel cover!!!
It is possible, abit of a fiddle but quite easily done..

It's a 2006 with 82k on it. We've had a good look over (and under) it and can't see anything wrong but we are no land rover experts!

Took it to see the friendly local welder.
Much head shaking, muttering about plates and questions like "Who does that to a car ?"

Good news: she's getting fixed for Christmas
