Most difficult Land Rover task

[200tdi ayre]

whats your opinion on the hardest job to complete on a landrover ? whether its skill wise or just a pain in the ass job ?
mines probably removing the steering drop arm, tried on 2 different 90's and was impossible, pullers heat hammer none worked :doh:

Rear door lock spring mechanism on a disco 1 - it's like a bleddy Chinese puzzle getting the thing out!

So far it's rebuilding the gearbox. Every step has been problematic. Now at 1 month and counting.

most jobs on a landy turn into a nightmare you think to yourself,it will only take me 10 mins,3 hours later your still at it!

 

[The Mad Hat Man]

That's an easy job . Normally 3 hours later, I am still not ready to start the job I intended. Usually only half way thru the 8 other jobs I am required to do before starting the one I intended

 

[damrabbit]

the hardest job is trying to keep from taking a spanner to it in the 1st place

Stripping a v8 in winter outside

Tbh boys not really had to do a really difficult job, that's why I love land rovers.

I agree though if I had to choose, drop arm is a real tough cookie.

One never came off, even after a big man and a big press had a go.

My last means though came off on its own (tbh if you want to loosen it, undo nut and drive a bumpy lane!)

Cheers

its more the fact you have to do them late at night in the road in the dark in the winter in a rush thats the main issue for most of us :doh:
