Agree with this but I do tend to use a torque wrench if I am at all worried. They can be a sod to undo and as they are a star jobbie it is too easy to strip the hole, making next time you want to do it an absolute sod.

Yep, although I have got fatter and it sin't so easy now!! I use the garden sprayer it is much easier, no refilling.

What previous owner said; "I wouldn’t bother changing the oils I’ve done them all the gearbox has been flushed about four times had two new filters on it in 5000 miles transfer box the same this front and wear the same just give the engine and...

Cool ok thanks ! Il do just that.

When I purchased this Disco it was not actually for sale, I approached the guy over the phone and within 30 mins of asking if i can buy it I was there looking at the car. The engine oil runs perfectly clear. He had no time to change the oil...

Do you botter with loctite? And torque the torx plug to 30nm?

Basically yes. stage 3 has to be done with the engine running before removing the fill/level plug. J

I used one of them big syringe type ones, think they hold 500ml or something.

I have reused the washer, but Mr Murphy and his law of sods will say "if you dont have a new 1 (even if you dont use it) it will leak :oops:. Actual plug is fine. Filling is not easy, many ways to do it. Pipe and funnel to the engine bay, Garden...

Thats the way I think I will do it. Syringe with a clear plastic tube and fill until a 2mm bead is leaking out the filler hole. Im assuming this is done from the underneath and I can access this filler hole with the car on level ground by...

Ok I will buy a copper washer. I know the previous owner changed the oil a couple of times within the last couple of years. The reason I want to check the oil level is I noticed some fluids around that area. I should add I didnt see oils...

Thanks

Yes

Will I need a syringe type tool to fill the oil?

Thank you ! And should I replace the copper washer? The plug itself is fine to re-use right ? Many thanks

Please see the attached image found on this forum. Does this method apply to 2004 auto box? Many thanks in advance.

I have only really bought the capacitor meter for one domestic job, or rather repeated job, I have 9 fancy thermostats to fix. But it will also come in handy for mending a batt charger for a really good but cheap electric drill I have and...

fluke make good stuff

I have a fluke voltalert tester.

I googled it earlier and some seller on Ali express had it up for £25 still. Scrap that, it was the A version that does other stuff that's not useful.

Thanks €20-30 is roughly what was happy to spend.

You can get a basic multimeter that does most things including diodes and temp, very cheap, what puts the prices up I think is the addition of other stuff, like capacitance, for which I have just bought a separate one for €22.

I used to have 3 of these on my desk.. But at £17,000 each they might be out of your pocket.. Practically any £30 digital meter will do what you want.

Thanks

Just get a cheap human friendly one for such aleatory and rudimentary work, i have one in the vehicle and does it's job, search for UNI-T 33D+

Ok cheers I will order a new receiver now. Is there anything I can do to protect the new receiver from condensation? Obviously keep damp stuff out the car and ensure no leaks in sunroofs. But any other things i can do? I was just reading about...

Thank you I will have a look at this unit. 50 quid is still a quite a bit.

Thats not cheap end though, Unless you use it when you are cooking steaks/chicken ;). I think that is a bit more than @korthaldisco2 needs;). Mine does the diodes/capsitors and AC too. but I just use those sticky in things for steak/chicken...

theres a uni-t clamp meter, that used to be around £25, but now 50 ish, that will do low current DC (most do not do low current) its really nice for finding current drains, although you could do the same with a standard meter in line with the...
