I been looking for oil to do oil change. Would 20/50w be okay ? My rear seal is knackered. Leaks everytime I drive lol. Or 10/40w ?

Thanks guys. I will have a go and see how I get on. The driver side was ok. Reason for this is to put rubber seal in between top and bottom. The studs was removed via bottom so I'm guessing nuts is captive inside the top one. I think the army did a botch job putting it together on the...

Refurbish I mean

Lol good bargain !!! I got ex military 90 defender in camo. Wanna rub down and paint like yours. Then eventually add 20@ tdi engine in as it is 2.5 n/a. One coat. Amazing. I am sure gonna have a go -). To the annoyed missus lol

Defender11069. Nice black colour. It that black gloss ? One coat or couple ? I am assuming it is synthetic paint. Tactical. Nice satin Skoda sporty.

I been doing some research. I see that freelander is mono she'll same as car with a tub Does that mean I can seperate the body from the tub chassis same way as defender ?

Might hold u on that. I need to do some research first. Like. It is on a chassis or all in one mono shell same as car. It is engine. Gearbox transfer etc. or is engine in transverse position. Five door. Blah blah.
