Found a online shop in Australia who has the L series seal in the housing they offer aftermarket for $44 or genuine for $60 plus postage, it was going to cost $60 from the UK so quiet happy we have ok prices here for land rover parts, i tried calling 2 of my local car spares shops both said the...

Yeah i found this one https://bearmach.com/crankshaft-oil-seal-err7028r 4 day shipping but all up cost sixty bucks i will call around on monday as i will be ordering on monday and see how much they are locally, i will replace the seal either way since the gearbox is an absolute mission to get...

Ali its just leaking from around the outside of the cam cover Nodge i have a clutch alignment tool i bought when i done a full engine rebuild on my Nissan Xtrail 4 years ago, where can i buy the oil seal from? the L series engine is hard to find parts for

Thanks Nodge i already have the clutch back on with 3 bolts, lost one and cut one off that rounded and keeping the sixth one to get some replacements tomorrow or monday, I looked up the LR rear seals and looks like i may screw it up so i wont be doing the seal I'm still unsure where all the oil...

Is it possible to replace the rear crank seal while i have the clutch out?

Yeah the sub frame i keep forgetting what its called, i got the gearbox off and it looks like one of my seals are bad also the throw out bearing is wobbly and it feels like its almost in two pieces

Yeah Nodge i am thinking it was low on oil Ali the arm moves freely back and forth, the master and slave were just replaced with a new one so now i have the ird box out i just have a few of the arm mount bolts to undo than the gearbox should come out i had to go purchase a new trolley jack they...

It had problems going from gear to gear it revved ok in gear and the clutch worked just the clutch was bitting just off the floor so if i am low on gearbox oil im thinking this could be the cause

Hey Gel i have oily grease all over my engine i thought it were coming from the cam cover as that is a obvious leak i now guess my drive shaft seal to box is leaking I put my finger in the drive shaft hole and it was lubed so maybe i am just low on oil i really hope i am not going thru all this...

Oh bloody hell that might explain why it was hard to change gears and it may not be the clutch!!! Bugger all this work No oil not even a drop came out of the gearbox when drive shaft was removed

Forgot to ask when we took out the passengers side drive shaft from the gearbox no oil came out, is this right? Need to work out if i need seals or if this is normal

Thanks, i think we went about the whole clutch change the wrong way we thought it would be easy just taking the gearbox off than putting it back on like a japanese built car so we struggled getting to all the bolts I now have half of the front of the car off from underneath i think we are...

At this time of the afternoon its bearable about 5pm i just unbolted the tail shaft that was quiet easy and the bolts were not done up very tightly was there a reason for this? i also thought the shaft was going to be splined hence i asked how to take it out but it was a simple butt joint so the...

Thanks guys going to start working on it soon its over 40c here today tho so a bit hot to be spinning a spanner

Thanks guys

Both front drive shafts are out but i meant the drive shaft that goes from the IRD to the rear differential where about do i separate it? The driveshaft mentioned is the only thing bolted onto the IRD now so once i know where to take it apart i can slide the IRD out tomorrow

I have the bone shape frame removed, i have both drive shafts removed, i have both wish bones removed, i have the front engine rock guard removed Now what is the best was to remove the drive shaft from the IRD box with minimal work? i have seen it completely removed including the end gear on...

Yeah i knew that mate hence why i couldn't get that hidden bolt out of the rear IRD mount, i will remove the dog bone bracing today and undo the drive shaft its going to be 40c today so not much work will get done but i will make an effort

Here are pics of the drivers side IRD mount or end mount bracket there is a bolt up inside the circled area, the engine bay picture shows no access to the bolts from the top and one picture circled shows a socket still on the last gearbox bolt but its unassailable

Gel how did u reach the right side IRD top mount bolt the whole mount is in the way i think the only way to access this one bolt is by removing the sub frame u can slide a ring spanner up thru the gap in the mount but u have no way of moving it without the ring spanner hitting the mount
