Finally continuing with my plan from a couple of weeks back and managed to nip out on to the driveway and change the oil in the rear diff this evening. No record of it being done but that's not to say it hasn't at some point. This could potentially be 90k diff oil. Very minimal sludge on the...

Casings appear to be the same fairly certain the rear subframes are too so the mounting points should make sense to be the same and from what I can find, the driveshafts all appear to have the same part numbers so I'd say it's worth the gamble to try it but it will be a gamble as nobody seems to...

Hasn't been worth ours - jog on.

It's not for me and I don't know where the owner is based, just wondered if anybody could say for certain whether or not the car needs to be told it's had a battery replacement as I've not had one of that era,

I read plenty but you write more, seems like you're here for the argument and you've got what you came for. You've repeatedly mentioned that you want to reduce your perceived stress on the engine. An engine which is plenty powerful enough with the gearing it left the factory with to power...

Just stumbled across this thread, read the first page and a bit then the last page. Summary from what I have read: Joins forum, lays out plan, doesn't like the questions or responses, starts argument. The google image looks like Google's AI response to me, I can't be bothered to key in the...

I was asked on one of my videos if I knew whether or not the earlier L322 needed to be told it has had a new battery. It's down to 64% and a 4x4 specialist had quoted about £140 for a battery (pretty reasonable I guess for it being fitted) but then suggested it may need "pairing" and the quote...

Take the plenum off under the bonnet and you'll be able to see the door motors move when you unlock the car, if it's one of those I expect you'll quickly diagnose it. Pull the rubber seal off, 2x 13mm nuts (yellow arrow) Vent door mechanism (no idea of its proper name (red arrow). They...

I'm confused, which car does the OP have? Evoque, Vogue (assuming L322) or the old Facebook Marketplace favourite "Vouge or Jeep" which frankly could mean anything on there.

Drums in the centre of the discs. Exactly the same as my facelift 3.6 and I had no issue at all. I can't see that I'm doing anything different to what I did before or what is in this detail, Kermit's description or any video I've watched! I always hated drums and shoes but these are so easy to...

That's what I'm trying to achieve yes. Not that it's urgent right now as I can't drive it until I fit the new air spring.

Appreciate it but I don't think it needed fixing; height sensor gives data, pressure adjusts according to requirement. More pressure=more height.

I did 20 years in insurance, the type accident you are talking about would be investigating mechanical failure by a police forensic investigation team in the absence of any other reasonable explanation and even if one old air spring failed catastrophically it couldn't be argued that changing the...

I did the NSF one a few weeks ago and I did say at the time the other one's bound to go soon. So on that point I have to agree with you! I'm not totally convinced that they need to be changed in pairs really, manufacturers will always say they should and I would do that with the shocks too...

On Saturday I changed the discs, pads and parking brake shoes as well as flushing the brake fluid. I also repainted the calipers while there ahead of the long awaited wheel refurb that it so desperately needs. On Sunday morning I decided to change the diff oils and the transfer box oil...
