It’s booked in on morning of the 10th so il take it down Monday night and drop it off. Got new bolts coming for rear carriers so can do discs and tidy up bit this week.Any update from the Indy ?
Not taking any chances battery will be topped up the lot lol. Needs good run (and a wash underneath) more than anything so getting there should bed the brakes in a little and clean out the cobwebs
Side by side comparison of new plug seems spot on. I will test for size thoroughly before fitting! Thankyou Alan

Is that a possibility? It’s bit far to free wheel up to get it

Depends on how good he is he could drop the back of the gearbox to get a bit more access, possibly drive a bolt into the damaged plug and weld them together,the heat generated will hopefully powder the loctite,or a piece of flat bar with an appropriate size hole and weld this to the plug once it's moved a bit the flat bar can be ground down.once it's out it won't be going back in.

I can feel slight vibration on gearstick. Is either in need of fluid in the box or spiral pins

Itl be fine it’s a RangeRover

And if using mole grips don't forget to trap the skin on the palm of your hand in the handles just as they snap together.Drop the front prop and give yourself more room. Then get some good molegrips and get a really good bite on the plug. So you can only just close the molegrips and it'll shift. It's a soft as shïte the plug so the molegrips can sink there teeth in nicely. If not then hammer and chisel would be next.
Gives hours of fun afterwards.
I'd like to think I'd learn from things like this, but no...............................feck it hurts.
Have you not learnt yet

I've no experience with the TD6 thank God.i was offered one with a reconditioned gearbox but then he told me it had been chipped
then I found the rotten wheel arches,the non standard wheels no thanks I said.when I pointed out the weak spots he was crest fallen,it was his pride and joy but a polished turd is still a turd.

That makes sense, wondered why no one else had had this issue. Mine is definitely on my Td6 so I'm guessing that it has been swapped previously. I hope to still be around when it's due to be serviced again, so at least I know what is in store for me next time

Good stilsons have half a chance if you can get a bite on it. Slot a bar over mine can get crazy torque and grip. Will ruin the plug and possibly few knuckles just don’t slip

When I had my TD6, I removed the front prop to gain access to get a decent 6 sided socket on it.
Why not remove front prop and try a bolt extractor kit?
