Otto was like that when we got him. Drained about 2 gallons out by knocking out the drain plug.took the wheel out of the boot to fit it and found it swimming in water, oh joy
draining it wont be a problem finding the leak will be a hole different ball gameOtto was like that when we got him. Drained about 2 gallons out by knocking out the drain plug.
It's often the tailgate seal. There is a JLR modification that involves bending the metal flange to which the rubber seal fits outwards by 5 mm. It's worked on my project car which no longer need the holes in the wheel well floordraining it wont be a problem finding the leak will be a hole different ball game
Heard about that but haven't had opportunity to do it. On the everlasting to-do list.It's often the tailgate seal.

I'd considered getting out on my bike today.. perhaps I'm glad i didn't!!2 x 50 mile round trips to pick my brother up for Christmas dinner and take him home again. Luckily my daughter turned up before I left first time which made me late thus avoiding the accident that closed the motorway. Then my brother made us late taking him home thus avoiding another accident on my return journey home. Lot's of dickheads out today so no surprise, just glad someone up there's looking out for me.

They are the worst in my opinionI think you could be right, there was even one knob doing 30mph on a pretty empty stretch of motorway
Maybe they'd made it to there from my way. We were behind someone doing 30ish in the 50 limit heading out from Macc past Alderley. Luckily I got past before the Alderley bypass, but they were definitely heading that way. They had just left the pub at 2pm so I suspect the road was wobbling about a bit for them in a different way to if they were sober....I think you could be right, there was even one knob doing 30mph on a pretty empty stretch of motorway

The foam plenum filter is a waste of time, I replace it with perforated metal, it lasts for everFinished off the clean. Removed the pollen filters and ordered some more inc a plenum filter. Bonded a door seal back on and checked the fluids
Remove the airline first. My airbag replacement guide is in the archive.
I made a tool for pulling the top pins out from reebar but some people have found they have to cut and them punch them out if the air springs have the metal end caps.
Took about 5 hours to change one rear airbag. Fitting the new one only took about 30 minutes, including finding the trolley jack to fully seat the axle end and get the pin in.
Rest of the time was spent trying to get the old one out. Corroded and seized collet for the airline took quite a while, but no apparent damage to the line. Bottom corroded pin sheared quickly enough with the aid of a lump hammer and brick bolster, and the plate cleaned up nicely. Trying to get enough leverage and access to the top to get it out was a nightmare. The pin was rusted away on the exposed bits on the accessible side and just sheared as soon as I tried pulling it with the hook, but the projecting bit on the back was solid enough to be an absolute horror to lever the bag enough to break, while still being solid enough to bend the plate and need it beating back flat for the new bag.
Needless to say the new bag has new stainless pins fitted with lots of anti-seize compound.
Since most 2 sided jobs seem to have a bitch side and an easy side, I really hope this one was the bitch one. Will find out if the promised break in the weather happens on Thursday to have a go at the other side.
