So, after another 10 litres of ATF flushed through, this is the oil from the last drain off to set the correct level. A lot clearer than after the first 10 litres. I'm a lot happier now that it's done. I got the PTU drained and refilled while I was at it so all fluids now done bar the PAS...

Jeez! and you drive a Land Rover? It must cost you a fortune in oil! I joke of course. Newer models seem to have sorted most of the leaking problems of older models.

I've been doing some work on a Series, and I know from my D2 when I got it that people don't change diff oil or gearbox oils very often, if at all. I think it gets overlooked. Either people don't look underneath and don't know they are there or don't know how to do it. If they take their car to...

Snaggapuss - I managed to get 10 litres for £40, which I thought was quite enough. But, having seen the oil coming out, I'd rather spend another £40 than have to change the box if it fails. Freespaña - yes, the motor filter was quite full. I'm a lot happier now that these things are getting done.

JD - the oil it needs is 3309 ATF which apparently allows the box to select one gear and slip another so I think the cleaner it is, the better. I'm doing another fluid change (10 litres) because after the first flush, I'm still not happy at the colour of it, it's still dirty. STV - it's done...

I'm not sure what you mean. How can draining some out and refilling cause a problem? If I don't take some out, I won't get more in.

We have a 'new to us' 2010 FL2 so I'm trying to get the servicing up to date. I don't think the oils have ever been changed. This is the Haldex oil I got out of it. It's dirty but at least light gets through it. This is the auto gearbox oil. Even with light behind it, it's so dark, no...

What happened? Did you get it working?

It is. Don't ask me how I know either!

I have but they are a bit rubbish looking. The front ones aren't inflating but that's probably a fault elsewhere.

Sorry, I thought the forum would notify me when people responded. Sevy, The cubby box is available. Does it come out as one complete part or just a fridge part? Johnlad, rear prop middle joint is shot I'm afraid. Andy, The compressor has been working and lifting the car. Make is AMK.

See here for a new thread with current parts.

Thanks for the info, will give them a call. We did speak about this before on the forum when I was trying to decide whether it was worth retrofitting my non-ACE with ACE. I've been looking for the sensors ever since. So, my non-ACE vehicle may or may not have the required connection in the...

I also found an annomaly when I rebuilt my R380. Pretty sure it was to do with 4th gear. Something was opposite from the manual. I seem to remember that I rebuilt as per manual, since there was deep groove being worn on the gear. I've had no problems since, but then, there were no problems...

Oh, I was thinking that they were further forward.

I am looking for two ACE sensors, one behind the front interior light, the other is under the driver's footwell accessible from under the car. For this one, I also need the wiring that connects it to the main body loom. I'm hoping that will connect somewhere in the cabin by the driver's side...

The rear bolts can be accessed from under the carpet under the front seats. They are all accessible from inside the cabin or front wheel arches and front bumper, if you ever need to lift the body. You may need to cut a neat slot in the carpet for access. I ripped my carpet but I was scrapping...

A new Disco?

That's OK, I've watched it twice now. I follow that guy on You Tube, he's quite knowledgeable on Land Rovers.

Why do you need to lift the body? To remove broken bolts in the middle? You should be able to access all of those ones from inside the cabin, if I understand you correctly.
