Always satisfying when you fix something and it stays fixed.

Closing the loop. For those curious it turned out to be rear main. I purchased a 2.8 seal and installed it and no more leaks.

Just fit a new battery.......

Need to check battery voltage after standing overnight, it really does not take much for a d3 to sulk due to a weak battery. My last weak d3 battery went on my old series2, still on there with zero issues 3 years later, yet on the d3 caused all...

Google landrover pdf, if no luck message me later and I will send you the link

I don't see why you'd buy one with springs when you can buy one with air. Sure air springs need replacing, but so do metal springs. It's generally quite reliable unless you ignore leaks, dash warnings etc

So you want to spend £2-5k on a D3, use it as a daily, take it green-laning, but not spend lots on maintenance and repairs? Good luck! You might get lucky. You need to find one that has been loved but is still cheap(?), so as @lynall says, I’d...

For the first 8 years all repairs done on the drive Now have access to a pit, which makes it easier, but still could be done on the driveway Susp failts, replace dessicant in compressor a few years back, currently front bags drop overnight and...

Top of my head torque converter recon 1.4k, a few sets of tyres 2k at least, they like to eat tyres, 6x injectors 1.2k due to unstable idle, quite a common fault, just last month mot fuel tank skid plate 250 quid, battery 120 quid, this is its...

Here we go again :rolleyes:. Look if you couldnt sort the "small" problem on your D1 then how are you going to approach a D3 with all its tech? Buy a Jimmy and have done with it. J

I have had my d3 for ten years and reckon 1k a year on parts alone! that includes tyres etc. £700 a year road tax, 25mpg average. Never failed to complete a journey under its own steam. That said if something big goes I reckon it will be the end...

Don’t listen to ‘em - they are all jealous! Sounds like you should look at the boot switch…

Burn it now and save your soul!

The Milwaukee grease gun has a little button you push to bleed the air out nice and easy to use, it is especially useful as some of the trailers I have to grease up use three whole cartridges of grease.

It's 100% 300tdi + LT77, previous owner cut and welded mounts back.. has a steve parkers kit, so can give you the extended hoses also Everything can go - I only need the transfer box, even have a brand new clutch kit to give you (LOF heavy duty)...

If you really want the clock at the right time, you could disconnect the battery and reconnect it at the right time if you aren’t using it for a bit, or pull the clock out the dash and pull the plug until the times match if you are using it

My error then, I didn't buy carbide blades. They would have made the job much easier to be fair, the access is tricky with a grinder.

You want carbide teeth blades, they are the mutts nuts. No matter what blade you use on the recip saw do not run it flat out as that kills the blades.

I think it comes with a large plate that mounts on the outside of the door skin, fitted mine a few years ago, still on there. Even if fitted well they are a bit crap, and seem to shuffle around a bit.

You will still get 500 for that with the buyer removing it, core units alone have a value.

If you can get it in there a sawzall is good, 40 quid from wickes and a carbon teethed blade 15 quid ebay.

Grease cartridges sure make life easy, less air locks as well.

I had a d2 on 18inch hurricanes, slightest camber of the road and she was off, one way or the other, tyres always wore evenly and lasted 50k.
