If it worked with a bit of fiddling with the bulb it would suggest the problem is at or near the holder. Check connections and earth are clean & secure. Buy a second-hand unit, or how difficult is it to remove otherside to slave on to test. Don't exclude the other lamps on that side, check they...

I've posted this elsewhere but I'm so please with myself thought I would do it again. Finally fitted the swivel gators, and insured the 2A. Renewal was £153, a comparison site got me down to £77, and. I bought through Quidco, so £36 Cash back. Result ! 😁

Can you remove this post please. Every time I read, I ask myself WHY did I sell mine. 😢

I've done the cable change on D2, it is not to difficult, just use the string as has been suggested. The Disco' Sport has a 2 piece cable, joined in a plastic sleeve next to the battery box, is Freelander the same ? If so check there. To check yours, latch them manually and have someone pull the...

EP 90 is the recommended but many folks use the one shot, though not sure it really is one shot. 🤔

The pitting needs to be filled in to keep the swivels spherical or I guess oil will leak around lower bits. Point of note, check how thick the casting is for any replacement parts some are thinner than they should be.

I believe it still can be re-chromed, but if it smoothed and polished there is no need. Not something I have the patience for but it has apparently been done. 🤔

JB Weld or chemical metal is an option. Smooth over and rub down. Time consuming though if you going to do it right.

Yea, thats the one. The seal is leather, wraps around and is laced up to secure.

Theres a bendy bit hidden in your balls :p. Not sure I want to find out more just yet ! Gator Grease Go ?

As far as I know steering done through swivels.

No UJ's, straight from axle tube to swivel. Though I have to be honest, what lies inside the swivel housing ? 🤔

I am in process of renewing the swivel gators on my Series. Do I stick with the EP90 or go with the one shot grease ? Indeed, is there any other options, or, what I was considering, was EP90 but grease directly on the swivel before fitting gator ?

Thanks for letting us know and well done for persevering.

Owned my D2 for over 17 years and sold it over 3 years ago as it was starting to annoy with its persistent leaks. I regrated selling it the moment it was driven away, and still do. 😢
