OK many thanks I thought it might be coming out the bottom plug and seeping upwards in the mud :) silly me Ok will do that so basically take out plug, top up the oil with EP90 and cover the plug thread in PTFE tape and after cleaning replace. Can I replace the seal on the bottom as well just...

Thanks Cabbie, when you say take out the plug you mean the one on the bottom I assume? Will all the oil not pour out as soon as I do this? Will leave the break fluid til the weekend Cheers James

OK then first two projects. Oil leak on rear axle: Oil or Break Fluid Leak back right wheel: Any ideas as to what my first course of action should be. I guess drain oil from rear axle and check the seal on the plug? No idea about the fluid leak on the wheel. Any help appreciated...

Hi, Doors are in great condition. Locking mechanism is fine really - just want to change the locks however if its easier to change the entire locking mechanism than just the barrells then I would rather do that. Thanks James

Cheers fellas, would it be easier for me to change the entire door locking mechanism? They are not too expensive and if its less hassle I dont mind - they are not in superb condition anyway. Thanks again James

My key to open the doors only works on the driver and rear door. Therefore I want to change the barrels on the driver and passenger door but the leave the rear door. How easy is it to change the barrels on the front two doors? Is it simply buy a £6.50 2 key and barrel set and swap them over or...

Hey Sean, As far as I know they just replaced the rear UJ, they charged £78 all together £40 for labour and £38 for part. Hope that helps you, Cheers, James

You were correct. The rear UJ on the prop shaft was buggered - they fitted a new one in an hour and I was back on the road :) As for DIY - going to try and fit some new front discs this weekend...hmmm I see a new thread coming on :D ....and yes the house is in a right state :D Cheers James

Thanks Sean, have booked it in with a Land Rover specialist garage - will let you know what it was! Not in to this DIY stuff :D Cheers James
