You can find the part numbers on this diagram. Hope it helps.

Some Bosch pumps have a small filter on them. Can’t remember exactly where, but it’s hiding under a bolt (if present). Worth exploring. Sounds fuel related.

I’d be looking for a faulty lift pump (even from new) or an obstruction in the fuel line somewhere (possibly even within the lift pump).

Jack up the n/s/f wheel and check for bearing and/or swivel pin play.

I’d say N/S preload, followed by steering shaft UJs. Maybe both.

I have repaired similar using CT1 to stick on some aluminium backing plates and then body filler to finish.

EP90 is fine for the transfer box. They won’t need to drain the box, but they may choose to, 5l is plenty!

I wouldn’t worry too much, mine has been dripping transfer box oil, gear oil and engine oil for at least the 15 years I’ve owned it. They’re notorious for it, shouldn’t do it, but they mostly do! The front output seal leak, which yours looks like, is actually easy to cure with the correct seal.

Yep, that’s gear oil from the t-box. Front output seal, as mentioned, is No1 suspect.

I fitted a paired Durite sender and gauge a couple of years back. The gauge displays the actual temperature reading, but for whatever reason it’s now reading 15C ish off. I can’t be ar•sed trying to trace the issue, so I’m going to fit a mechanical capillary setup and see if that can last a...

Approx. 75C at the thermostat housing/start of hose, 60C at the bottom of the rad, 50/55C at the bottom of the pump. The gauge was showing 90-95C. This was after a 15 minute run at 23C.

Infrared thermometer (tested against known hot things - boiling kettle and my forehead), shows that the gauge is reading about 15C too high, which would tie-in with what it should be showing. So, we have an electrical issue somewhere. Time to look at a mechanical gauge, as clearly Land Rover...

I’ll see if I can borrow a decent one. The hose and rad are definitely hotter than they should be! Bloody thing, there’s literally not a single week where something isn’t wrong (and this is after 15 years of ownership).

Cheers, I’ll try that.

I think the current one is Britpart, replaced about 10 years ago when the oil cooler imploded! Might be a weak pump - I have found receipt for a pump I bought about 5 years ago, but I have to say I don’t actually remember fitting it! Probably tucked away in the garage somewhere.
