This would make sense as it would put extra stress on the seals

Hi mate, thanks for the reply. Yeah I figured it was not a done thing due to the lack of seal kits available. I’ll buy a new one and fit it over the weekend, I don’t see the point of bypassing it personally but each to their own, I guess the expense of some of the parts make it...

Hi all, A question relating to RRS 2011 rear ARC sway bar. Mine has developed a slight weep from the long bar side seal. Forgiving the obvious reply’s about high pressure hydraulics and don’t try it, has anyone found a seal kit for these before (I have specialised in high pressure...

Hi all. My battery seems to have terrible life. If I open the car to hoover it out, it’s generally low by the time I try and start it. Alternator charging fine. if I replace the battery, does it need anything resetting at the dealer? I’ve had the battery disconnected quite a few times...

Well land rover charge £140 Normally about £80-100

As it turns out. They are not supposed to have a bend in them. I bought some new ones and they turned up completely straight. Fitted them today.

Auto correct was in play there. I re greased the outer CV by sliding the boot back then putting new clips on it. I agree, they need movement. Mine just made a knock as if the gram ease was too thin which evidently on inspection seemed to be the case as the new cv grease is much thicker...

Just to update, the noise randomly stopped and had not returned. I checked out the props and all seems well however the front outer cv has a bit of a knock when I jerk the drive shaft inwards so it may be the outer cv on its way out. I’ve degreased the joint for the time being as the old...

Hi all, does anyone know the tightening torques for the rear tie bar Inner nut and outer bolt (that goes to the bottom rear of each hub) then to the subframe above the exhaust. This is for the bar that gives rear toe in/out when adjusted. Also, do you put the inner at the lowest/highest/...

Thanks, I’ll have a look into that on Monday and report back.

hi all, 2010 RRS 3.0tdv6 60K I have recently started getting an odd ratchety/clicking sound on deceleration at low speed coming from what seems as the right front area. It’s normally: Very low speeds coming to a stop. Happens when also in N coming to a stop. I need to check to see if it’s...

Hi All, Does anyone know if the 2010 RRS HSE trim pack had the HST front bumper (with the lower grill metal strip) And also What are “Design 1” wheels. Basically I have RRS 5 spokes which I think are the autobiography ones but am not sure. Wanted to make sure they are the ones supposed to...

Nice way to kill the starter motor and flywheel gear. I had issues with Audi main dealership. Overfilled the oil and topped the water up to full on a service, consequently blew a head gasket( I had already complained about the water when I picked it up). Never again would I go to the local...

Funny you should say that. I’ve literally just bought a SuperTracker 4 wheel aligner with camber/castor gauge for £250 but I don’t take delivery of it until Wednesday. I need the car doing before then. The dealer I bought it from is paying for it though so no great issues.

Im expecting that to be honest but I’m happy to argue like hell and keep returning it until they do a good job.

Hopefully. I have a good local garage but for the first alignment I wanted it to be checked out properly. I’m pretty lucky that I run a full workshop in my spare time that has a 2 and 4 poster ramp and I’ve been working on cars for years, Most jobs will be ok. The RRS seems a doddle to work on...

It’s about £100 so I’m fairly happy with that. For some reason, wheel alignment seems to be one of those things I’ve never been happy being done by an independent. Or should I say, have never been happy with the results. I’m sure there are some great ones out there but as a new owner, I’m...

The chassis pics look very nice by the way

Awesome. Thanks all. I was worried the car had been side swiped and had bent them. I’ve booked mine in to JLR to get it done on the hope they know exactly what needs doing and also have the right kit. Been stung a few times with the steering wheel not being centred which annoys the hell...
