You may ask but I am not one for much in the way of off-road adventures unfortunately, we have a small holding, and the pot holed drive is over a third of a mile long, we also have trailers of various description and a caravan, we started long ago with a 200 then a 300, dabbled with shoguns and such like but our main workhorse has been the d2, it was a life saver in the bad snow up here about 6 year's ago, caravan again, done well, but and this is a BIG but the d3 as a caravan / horse box tower beats the 2 in every way, more power and more stable, just a tad more thirsty. In the waterlogged fields round our farm both would get bogged down just now though when the weather is not so bad the 2 has been good for pulling the trailer with fencing materials, in fact its been so wet I have to be careful with the tractor, just 2wd.

I hope mine has been done, probably not right enough, how much time is involved start to finish just t check if old or new 2006 is mine.
would have thought a good few hours or so to check , also depends how quick u can get the fan off, aux belt off, belt housing off.

this is just info of what’s involved if it needs replacing

affected ones are normally from the vin 7A onwards, however heard of some going before that , not trying to worry u but if u get it checked out at least then u will know 100% if it’s the stronger modified one or not

Be honest until I retire we are isolated on our wee farm up on the hill, if it went I don't know what I would do, we need reliable transport, that's why I have thrown a bit of money at the 3 & why I am taking my time on the 2 as we cannot get by with only one car, luckily I am not allowed back to work yet so making the most of my wee holiday.Haha that's weekend to get all the tool's together

That's a good idea, just said last week it would be great if we had one to look under the floorboards to see where the mice were coming in, think we killed them all right enough.
is just a thought to see if it will save u some time, maybe santa will treat u , lol
as a side note and if ur aware there was a recall ref oil in the servo , had mine done foc at my local land rover dealer, u pull the brake vacuum pipe off near the servo and if there’s oil it needs the alteration done
new servo and pipes altered
brake recall TLO notice
