    battery changing ?

    I went to a local battery supplier and they fitted it for me, no extra charge (pardon the pun!) They put a small battery pack over the terminals just to keep the radio code as its not something the previous owner passed on - no need to goto a LR dealer.

    Two quickies!

    I have recently changed the bulb on my 300Tdi clock - It's reasonably straight forward. You will need to carefully prise the clock face from the dash, it did this with a screwdriver and went round the facia easing it out. you need to be carefull not to go too mad and break the retaining clips...

    Disco-fever - fantastic bit of info - I have the same problem with the gearbox and will be making the fix as soon as time allows - would be interesting to know the details of the tool that you made to get the springs into place, and also the part numbers for the springs if you have them handy...

    The f'kin thing won't budge!

    The top allen headed bolt was a bugger to get off - The head started to slip - I found it easier to undo the two bolts on the side first and remove the breather pipe. I then managed to undo the lower allen headed bolt - after giving the top one plenty of gentle tapping and wd40 (i found a good...

    The f'kin thing won't budge!

    I have spent the last few hours trying to remove the bolts that hold the EGR onto the manifold - used plenty (and I mean plenty!) of WD40 and seem to have removed most of the skin off my knuckles!! :mad: Have tried it with the engine cold, warm, hot . . . . . Has anyone else had the same...
