Love my BFG 265/65/16 A/Ts

Been every 6k miles so far, would expect the oil to look pretty clean after such a short time. Mark- thanks. this is a Tdci, I think they've changed what oil can be used? Ie 5/30 fully synthetic in the engine, seemed cheap to me... Tried to order engine oil from landrover, they wanted £140...

Got a couple of the packets of grease to do that next week, would explain the nasty colour, but not the metal? Unless the swivels are breaking up due to lack of grease? Also forgot, magnetic bung from transfer box was covered in metal, like the one from the gearbox in that video. It was...

:eek: Wow Ok I must be fussy mine wasn't like that lol, although I don't go wading. C

Just got in, that was a long afternoon! New power steering fluid( had wrong stuff) New coolant(a bit of brown stuff but not too bad, was a weak mx before though) New oil in front diff (was horrendous, black with a green tint, metallic, with some bigger chunks of swarf. Unsure if it had good oil...

That's very kind of you, but this afternoon old stuff is coming out and fresh stuff going in, all been ordered by my new mechanic who's very fussy, I'm sure he's got the right stuff this time! New mechanic was very alarmed by colour of diff oil black/metallic after 6000miles. Well see, I'm on...

Hi, oooops! Landrover dealer said it should be kind of golden!? 2009 2.4tdci 110, 3500kg HD model. Thanks.

I'm so confused... Thought invoice said MTF in diffs! But we have: MTF in main gearbox £14 EP90 in Axles and transfer box £21 Seems VERY cheap oil for a drain and recharge!? (And 7liters engine oil for £26, god knows what he's been putting in, or if its even been changed :/) And I'm slightly...

Thanks, They're all getting changed today. Any way to check for damage or literally just hope for the best? I'm tempted to sell it! Guy I bought it from has been a nightmare. Charlie.

Just checked my diff oil levels, its black and slightly metallic despite being changed 6000miles ago! :( turns out the guy who's been servicing it has put the wrong oil in I think, also the wrong power steering fluid, and probably engine oil (not even got to the gearbox or transfer box yet!)...

I didn't start the thread or ask any questions :) I just offered my advice... :)

Pmsl. That much of a big deal? I'm not a mechanic/body work specialist, not am I capable of respraying a truck... So yeah I had someone convert me a hardtop 110 van into a chassis cab with tipper conversion whilst I was busy at work earning money doing the stuff I know how to do... Is that ok...

I had mine converted the other way lol, tdci 110 hardtop can to a truck cab/chassis cab. My landrover man specialises in that kind of thing, could do it for you or supply the bits, where are you based?

That would be great if you could have a look thanks :) is that a 2007- defender is it? Thanks, Charlie.

Thanks, hydraulic would be great for me, i think I'll get that kit even if I can't afford to get it fitted right now. I was told the bottom PTO is an option, but easily broken off road as it would hang low? I have no clue what transfer box I have TBH! (2.4 tdci) Charlie
