New front and back diff oil, transfer box oil, gearbox flush and filter and front discs and pad. That's a light wallet on the way home Crying or Very sad


Hi,

where did you get the flush and filter done - and could you give me an idea of the cost too please.This has been something i've mulled over quite a lot, as i seem to read many threads about people having their gearbox flushed but filter changes don't seem to get much of a mention Confused


A local garage in Preston (1 guy in a lockup), the guy has been fixing my cars for years and owns a FFRR supercharged so he knows his way around a LR.

There are many debates as to flush - double flush etc I wont go over here, I had new filter, dropped 5l from sump, drove it down the road, then dumped another 5l from sump, people will debate I have "contaminated" oil left, but it has a new filter.

Filter was £105, fluid was £8 a litre and labour was £125, labour that included both diff oils and trans box oil change too

Swapped the lower parts of seats at front between driver and near side. This should make the driver cushion last for another 170,000 miles Rolling with laughter Easy job when you know what you are looking for. I took photos and noted a few gotchas that can make it more difficult than it should be. I also swapped passenger pressure sensor over. When I get time I will do a write up.

Thrown over a ton and a half of sandstone paving in it over a few trips, covering it in soil and spiders in the process, then hoovered it. I love these cars for the amount of things you can do with them.

I was going to do this, did you use a small socket with T40 bit on the end? I only have sockets down to 1/2" drive.

Yes it was T40 on socket. Of the two front bolts, one bolt is easy but other above the junction box is difficult with box in position. I used an Allen key to press in tab on box to then allow box to slide out of way. I also swapped clips and the seat sensor on the passenger seat. With a guide it's no more than an hour and for aging D3 well worth the effort.

Got the permanent suspension fault back to being intermittent by swapping out the Bosch brake light bulb for a LR one!
