hi
I have a 1992 110 defender, with a leaking crankshaft oil seal(engine oil is repeatidly leaking from the flywheel housing).up til now i've just put up with it but today i thought i'd do something about it so i asked for a quote from my local garage and to my surprise they said £1250 please!!!
and that was with me supplying the bits.
He told me that because it's a 92 model i would need to take the gearbox out between the seats?
is this true?
why can't the gearbox be dropped like most cars?
how long would it take me to do?
would it take two people?
would i be able to do it with just a trolly jack?
i'm not a mechanic but have a basic understanding of such things.
anybody got any idea's,
thanks
