Thank you for your inputs. I guess bmw oil flows in from the outside of cylinder filter. The black soot is blocked and cumulated there. The oil looks black. D2 one is inside centrifugal filter for power rotating.

under 30k miles

Sorry for this topic is a bit out of this forum. I just had my wife's 21-plate BMW 320D serviced under warranty and found the engine oil was very black at home (see pics), it is less than 20 miles drive. I suspected if the garage had changed the oil. By googling BMW oil change, some people said...

Hi! I have tried to loose my disco. ACE filter cap using penetrating oil, screw grab and torch heat, but it begins to slip and the rusted cap is a bit rounded out. I should have replaced the cap when I replaced the filter five years back. Any suggestions to remove the stubborn guy are...

Other three wheels are on the ground. I managed to slide out. I tested it again, I have to manoeuvre it in that bucket. The bushes on axle are still in good condition, mot guy pointed to me the bush on chassis is bad, not only this one, but another rear one and a front one.

I got rear bolt out, but front one is at trick position, also blocked by something on axle, need a bit more room

Sorry I meant stand point

For safety, I have jacked both up, near the bolt to chassis is good jack point?

Here is a problem, rear bolt to axle is not sliding out for watts linkage on the way? It seems to me bolt head should be at outside. But all rear bolts are fastened same way, driver side rear bolt has clear space. How did you guys handle this?

mot guy told me that I need to change it, it will fail next year. Anyway only whack conquer them.

I got 21 and 24 mm spanner’s from halford. I have removed the bolt to chassis, it should stay there before I loose bolts to axle, the rear bolt has room to use break bar. I use Jack to lift the bar, the bar has been bent but nothing happened.

I can try spanner’s tomorrow. Since the bolts to axle have no load, hope it is not too tight.

Yes, if you are superman, these are not problem. How can use socket on the front bolt and nut sides?

I saw some youtube disco 2 has clear access space near bolts , but mine has some obstacles. Maybe they are basic model with no ACE and SLS.;)

I am trying to replace all radius arm bushes. I started from passenger side rear one, found no enough room to use socket to remove front nut to axle for rear damper on the way. I don't see disco manual and any info mentioned removal of the damper. When I undid the bolt to chassis, I had to use...
