    Well I’m already under the truck, takes time wow. Tried warming up the sachet and it blew. Found an easier way personally for me, but when I clean this out one day I will probably switch to oil. Hope this method is an alternative for some who...

    I lied, my local LR just got a case of 10. Last time I called they said they didnt have it. Guy told me when there is a car in for service that needs that part they will order a case (LR cost) and service that part. Just a chance of right timing.

    But at the core route of why use grease over oil is for leakage? I don’t see there being a performance reason as I would believe gear oil would lube much better than grease?

    Since you posted this I did some research, and I learned that LR used gear oil in the swivel pins previously. One shot grease is not hard to get unless I order overseas but purely out of convenience and cost, can I not just use 80w-90 as the...

    You can also in most situations , just take off in 2nd gear. Play around with second in gear when your taking off, may help you. Worth a mention, There is a lighter spring for the clutch pedal you can purchase for a softer pedal and shorter gear...

    I set off in 1st gear and straight away I change into 2nd gear. I don't know what speed it is, barely much faster than walking speed. Basically I have found 1st gear is only for setting off after coming to a stand still

    No this is wrong. That is the ABS sensor that senses the wheel movement. In the rear this would sit horizontal to the hub itself not vertically as shown in my photo. For the Front from my memory when doing my brakes it was the same as the back...

    Nope, I have No I have not. I just watched a video on how to do it. I am thinking of ordering shims if I have to do this. I am guessing I would need them? Why does this happen? Is it because over time the shims compress and thin out?
