What did you do with your Range Rover today

im about to rebuild my air block, its sat on the kitchen table now. if this aint where my leak is, then i give up!

changed diff oil and picked up atf for auto box fluid change

i was on my way to the auto electricians this morning to have the datatek A/C fan conversion done, and thought id check my oil levels seeing as i did a full service the weekend, pulled the bonnet handle and TWANG! the cables snapped, so eventually got it open, and rescheduled the conversion for thursday.

New radiator fitted which was a piece of cake. Future job sort air suspension that broke when I was road testing the rad..... love my p38!

Whilst replacing the alternator on mine, noticed the serpentine belt was looking cracked. Fitted the new one in less than ten minutes!!!

Well it was yesterday really, bent my tailgate trim!!! see my post, help please

The Maxi 5 fuse blew after moving the front passenger seat, I managed to fix the short circuit today. I bought one of these Neilsen Car Van Circuit Tracer & Detector Wire Tracing Short Open Circuit Finder | eBay

I bridged the fuse slots using the sender then used the receiver to pick up the short. Must have wired it wrong as it made the right buzzy noises but didn't really pick up the short. However, I heard a fan relay clicking away and it looked as if it was not seated properly, so pushed it in again. I connected the battery again, key in the ignition then the heater blower started working???. Don't know what I did, but it's all working fine again.

fitted new bonnet release cables £25, and fitted my new drivers door handle £58, job done.

Put it in the For sale section

Replaced the steering damper. Easy enough job and although only a small test drive, it seems to have ironed out some of the twitchiness I was getting. Will find out for sure when I take it for a blast down the motorway.

My original death wander was caused by the steering box not having been adjusted for god knows how long - one tweak transformed the car.

Drain plug is obvious, the filler plug is harder to find.

Level/filler plug is at the L/H side roughly in line with the output shaft. Drain is on rear facing surface of transfer box behind handbrake backplate.
