I Always make a note of where seals are sitting before removing old ones. As the originals would have been there the longest there may be some witness marks left to go by if LR did recess your ones.

Value fabrication 😩

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Boeing use aluminium bolts. :(

Sounds like a poor idea to me.

I fixed it ages ago so it under reads slightly instead of over reading massively

It lies to keep you happy

Since i reset the gearbox I've had much better mpg. The mpgometer was around 30mpg doing 25 miles on mixed A roads, 30-60

Maybe Itl improve kpg

Well done. Never say die 👍

In that case check each of the ground points. It any are rusty, then clean them up & re-fix. Can't do any harm whil;e you're saving for the Nanocom !! Many years ago, the one on RH front door pillar was going bad on my green P38. The symptom...

Leave the bloody thing alone🤷😜

I was bored

Why ?? Are you leaving the country ?

Yep, like vw and audi use aluminium bolts on small engine components like the water pump.... Money saving tactics 🤷

Good result :)

Great perseverance to a fantastic result! Impressed we are.

I have an update on my 2007 Rangerover sport 2.7 diesel. I stripped down the top of the engine and replaced all four camshafts from a donor engine that had cracked its crankshaft. Comparing my camshafts with the donor camshafts I found that...

So should anyone else but the accountant "says no"... Responsibility shouldn't be governed by finance 😕

Canada insisted that JLR replace all such bolts under warranty regardless of vin, age, etc :eek:

It's the seals, they are rubbish, it's quite well documented for years. We fitted "OEM" both leaked almost straight away. Out of principle I made the supplier refund the money. Bought 2 NAK seals, damaged one as they are a very tight fit into...

It happened to my Jaguar F-Pace which has the same parts. We were on holiday in Wales at the time and I was able to wrestle the car back to the hotel from where it was recovered to our local Jaguar garage. Fortunately we have an extended warranty...

Unfortunately, for such a heritage to be lost to economy and bad decisions 😩

In fact Mercedes went through this also🤷 aluminum bolts... Who the f@ck though of that... 💡

You'll be joining a que for that lad. It is as you now know, a known but not always recognized issue with a few Jlr vehicles... It's pretty poor really and it does nothing for their reputation.. I honestly don't know what to say to help but I do...

Didn't think of that I'll check thanks

If a 5 watt bulb illuminates across pins 1 & 6 of the switch pack connector, it's not an earth problem.

A good call👌

Flush Mark

Are you putting a touch of grease on the inner lip before assembly? The argument is that if you use oil it can create a gateway for oil to escape and that before we get to ptfe plastic seals and their dry resting period😵

Sorry you've had so much aggro. That was one of the first jobs I had to do on mine back in 2021 & I think it was NAK seal I used on SF's recommendation & it's been fine since. As said I did go over the shaft sealing area with some fine wet n dry...
