Pulled the cover off and gave it a wipe down. .

I still maintain it was the best looking and performing Land Rover ever made, gotta get it back on the road..

No.

Garaging will do nothing for it now, far too late!

Replaced the front ace bushes along with the arb bushes and mounts - much nicer now the clunking is gone!

Checked the tyre pressures, all 5 needed a top-up and so did the engine oil.

Fitted a new intercooler pipe assy. & hose from ACE reservoir to pump as the old one was 'sweating' oil.

Topped up the coolant and screen washer bottle.

Chopped out some tin worm holes in the chassis, whilst the gearbox was out...

tilly2 · Aug 29, 2021

Refitted the old DMF. Hope its not a decision thats going to bite me in the ass.... fitted the new LOF clutch and plate, plus bearing and associated bits. Finished up the prep for the gearbox, and pushed it under the car, ready to fit. Not looking that easy on a jack if Im honest... New cable for the Hi-Lo selector fitted.. Looking at the old gearbox, I think Ive found the source of the water ingress into gearboxes. The input shaft oil seal has a lot of slack on it, and moving it about, I can see the seal isnt sealing properly, and so, if you are wading, its the easiest way for water to enter the gearbox. Also explains why the water reaches this level.
