Never ending story - Landies, lubrication and the wild blue yonder

Took my disco on the longest trip I've tried this weekend - from
Buckinghamshire all the way out to the Morvern peninsula - something like
1100 miles round trip.

Things I could have done without were the burning oil smells and the nasty
grinding noises coming from the NSF.

Looks like my swivel has managed to lose all of its lube (It had the oneshot
stuff in it) and I'm probably looking at replacing the CVJ on it -
seriously nasty grinding noises when backing off the accelerator and lots
of clunking from it turning at low speeds.

Ho hum.

Such are the trials of driving a landie. I think I'll replace the swivel
seal on the other side as well, just in case.

STC3435 and you can buy it from Land Rover themselves or from Britpart,
Allmakes, Bearmach etc.

Take care

Yeah £4 a swivel at landrover. at last something like a realistic price!
Even comes with a sticker to tell the next keeper "This vehicle has one shot
grease installed".
