Bizarrely the v8 rad is cheaper!
Higher turnover

Because it's simpler, no baffle?

I got bored and fed up. Reset gearbox adaptions. All the clunks and hard shifts have gone. It's like a new car!
Obviously when i paid the garage to do it and asked "have you done it" the dude obviously lied because it was no better.
If you want something doing properly, do it yourself.

Started taking the rad out of the scrapper then realised it was original and being an automatic had no fittings for the manual cooler. Reassembled, bled etc. and lost an hour.
Went for the red one and took the rad out. Swapped both it and the viscous fan over. Bled etc etc and it seems to work although the fan doesn't seem to roar much. Didn't get hot on the test-drive though so should be ok to get to work and back.

If the VC us a bit weak you will notice heat creep hitting traffic or lights after a run
On Saturday I changed the discs, pads and parking brake shoes as well as flushing the brake fluid. I also repainted the calipers while there ahead of the long awaited wheel refurb that it so desperately needs.
On Sunday morning I decided to change the diff oils and the transfer box oil. Raised it to full height and as a precaution threw the axle stands under there. Changed the transfer box oil which was nice and easy to do and then I decided to reward myself with coffee and a biscuit, walked out of the front door to be confronted with:
Bugger!
Good job I'd put the stands there but glad I wasn't under it at the time!
Decided to wait until the new air spring arrives and then I'll do the diffs. The rear is easy but I can't see the fill plug on the front unless I get the car a bit higher. Oddly, the fill plug on the front diff is not the level (says so in LR workshop manual too). so it won't matter if the car isn't exactly level for that one as you only fill 750ml if doing an oil change.
Pleased with the brakes, perhaps not to everybody's taste but I wanted something that wasn't silver and quite understated. It's bronze metallic.
Only other issue I've come up against is getting the parking brake into Service Mode, it just won't go in. I did it fine on 3.6 and I've checked the instructions for this over and over but cannot see what I'm doing wrong or why it's being moody with me.
Brake press 3x and hold
Parking brake switch upwards 4x and down 3x
but Noooo! Ungrateful prick!
