What did you do with your Range Rover today

[Tenebreaux]

That is a great day... condolences.

Luckily it shouldn't be too hard a fix. I figure drop the gearbox sump and drill it out from the inside. Of course I need to get a new drain plug first.

And of course I'm gonna get drowned in ATF when I take the sump off.

I wonder if anyone has any EZ Outs I could borrow...

Is that just a hex key stuck in the plug? If so drill & tap it, insert small bolt and pull the end of the key out

The entire head of the drain plug sheared off clean.

That's a bugger

There was language. And it's not like I was giving it welly with a 3ft breaker bar, just a short arsed 3/8 drive ratchet.

Retro fitted flappy paddle kit to my L322..........works a treat

Is this the kit that can be seen on ffrr?

I had a small leak coming from the gearbox. Figured I hadn't tightened up the drain plug properly when I changed the oil. So went out to nip it up. Then this happened:

Sounds familiar ...

Filled for life

Stripped everything out of the interior- tools, crap, liner, parcel shelf, console panels, floor mats - thrown in shed ready for thorough hoover and srs investigation.

Yes kds my write up and pics thought they would help the next person

Did mention to Damien on the phone that I thought the pics could do with being a bit bigger (think I was second person to buy a kit), I had already been in there doing it the wireless remote way so knew what to look for and with the wirelss remote you have to be in sport mode to start with and the other thing is you have hold the paddle for 2 seconds before it changes gear as well but not with this kit its instant. My hat off to you sir for the write up and pics.

 

[Tenebreaux]

Main beam, number plate and interior bulbs replaced. New NRVs (courtesy of @kurtjohnson10 ) installed and valve block re-connected. I'll leave it on high and see what it's like in the morning.

 

[RangeRoller dt]

Hoovered all the inside.
Subsequent detox.

Most fun I had with my EAS was butchering it.
Just can’t help myself

 

[Grrrrrr]

Not exactly today but hoovered the boot out and fitted a central reversing light - 3 x 4w LED spot!

Also, had a fiddle with the Nanocom ... the front EAS sensors were a count of 10 apart so split the difference and reprogrammed at each height. Got a spirit level on the car in various places and it is flat! Bit of a surprise that. So far it seems more stable after switching off and drives fine so maybe I'll leave it at that.

Pulled all this out from the cubby where the dvd player and ps2 is.
Unscrewed the black box parrot written inside it.
Since it was all a mess and not done very well at all.
That got thrown out didn't work anyway was just an eyesore.
I have got a plug left over I cant find a home for 5 pin single line wide plug.

Everything's working as it was so no drama there.

Units that I have.
Not oem obviously chinas finest.
Still got some wires to tidy up. Iv worked out I need to lay dvd unit and ps2 RCA sound leads to the controllers for monitors under the seat and use the headphone jack on the monitors in the headrests.
It's how the motor came and il just work with what's there I didn't fit any of this apart from a tidy up the wiring connections all had been soldered and heat wrapped and fused.
