And tonight’s stupid question....

My mechatronic sleeve is leaking. I have a new sleeve and metal sump kit from advanced factors, could someone tell me how much oil will be need to be replaced ? Once the car is up and running i’ll Be taking a trip down to woody32 for a trans flush. There is a dirty rumour going around he may well be doing a remap too.

Think I read about 5 x litres ????

Bit the experts will be able to verify that , there’s also a write up ref replacing that sleeve

Wow, knowone will be able to spot ur number plate after the remap,

Your an absolute guru mate. I knew I’d seen a post somewhere that detailed fitting. Ok so there are spacers. No biggie. Just need to find out a thickness and I can make a set easy.

In other news.... ordered a new condenser because mine has holes all along the bottom ! And also ordered that fan you sent me a link to. This is getting out of hand now.

Looks like it’s very common for the condenser to fail, looking around I think there around £90 and also comes with a new dryer

I ordered the one you gave a link to a few pages back

Well what an eventful day I’ve just had.

If anyone’s seen the post I put up earlier about oil pump.
Stripped the front of the engine to find.... a new full timing belt kit and oil pump. on inspection it is a genuine fomoco pump too. Whilst it was apart I checked the timing with the 3 pins... spot on.
https://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/urgent-oil-...73674.html
Decided to replace the water pump as I was in there to find... that was new too. Just looked a bit grotty from the outside.
The moral of this story ladies and gentlemen. Never buy a car when the dealer says “we’ll forward the service history” and then claims they can’t find it after you’ve paid. In short it means I have no idea what’s been done hence why I’ve gone so into it. As noted earlier the upper arms had been done at some point because the bolts were all copperslipped. Hey ho.
Last jobs remaining now before body refit are the brake lines which I’ve now got but land rover in their fantastic packaging only had 1 service joint. and the other job... the air con pipe o rings. Which will be with me tomorrow. The condenser will have to be done with the body back on. As will the alisport intercooler when it arrives. I’ll upload some pics once I’ve had a shower. oh and a beer. Or three.

Hi mate

At least U know it’s all done for peace of mind and u know it’s been done properly

Top work
