Just think of it as a hobby you drive, most land rover products require a deal of patience and their own income stream........... Just think, they are a lot less complicated than the newer models, I love mine ( today! )

I had exactly the same problem, changed oil and filter. My box was 1.5 litres short of fluid, filled it up ( with the engine running ) and so far......... Going to do hoses and cooler in the near future, oil has to be going somewhere !

Agreed.

Point taken, and oil was not as bad as it could have been, but they could have checked the level. I guess now I need to keep and eye on the level, hoses and the oil cooler - normal paranoia levels restored.

Looks very much like it or they would have at least picked up the level issues. It's not a particularly difficult job and I checked the invoice, I wasn't charged for a new filter or oil, shouldn't they have at least checked the oil. Heh ho , if you want it done properly do it yourself. I will...

Happy present giving and over eating season :5bparty::5bparty::5bparty:

Changed auto box filter and oil. Note to self: work out how you are going to get the oil back in before you start the job...........

Right. Got hold of a filter, gasket and o rings from the nice men at Dingocroft. Genuine bits, prices are a bit scary, but not compared to the quote from the local main stealer ( not that they had them in stock !) Drained the treacle, took it apart, nothing to scary in the sump. Filled as per...

Don't think so. I am going to check the oil level and replace the filter tomorrow if I can get hold of one. How much oil am I looking at for a filter replacement ?

Did a few errands yesterday, all working well. Then sensed that the truck wasn't pulling away quite right, but he-ho possible glitch. Stopped again, engaged reverse, nothing. Engine revved , I went no where. Managed to push it backwards while it was in reverse then into drive and home. I will...

Not sure about the clips, try one of the breakers. Head rest however I do know, because I did the same ( rushing it ). The fitting in the seat does a quarter turn and then the whole lot comes out allowing you to get the head rest out, put then back in and bobs your uncle.

Wiggled all my plugs and the problem appears to have sorted itself. Thanks for the lead, I could have fiddled for bloody hours. Dom.

Don't know about the book symbol. Do a search for hvac faults on the forum. Check the rf has the antenna connected, may have been disconnected to deal with battery drain, again check the forum, it's a very common fault.

silly messages are probably down to low battery voltage, do a search, it sends the becm nuts.

As i remember if you take out the relay from under the passenger seat all it will do is stop the car self levelling, did you change the rf box for the new version ? i have been through this and it was the rf unit replacement that solved the problem.

Mr C. after many happy months with my sound system an issue has arisen. Both rear speakers are making and unpleasant distorted type noise, each time i change tracks the sub appears to thump. What have i broken ? The sub was disconnected when i brought the car but i reconnected it and it was...

10 Spen points to those who said it was the crank pulley ! How much........... blimey that bolts stiff, keep trying, time for the blowtorch.

Just got back in, when i pulled in i noticed that on idle the fan appeared to be rattling, opened the bonnet nothing apparent. Turned off, pushed the fan round which did not foul anything, what other bearings or couplings could be the cause ? Water pump ? Viscous unit ? Idler (if there is one)...

time for a kenlowe pre-heater................

When i had issues with the old RF unit my neighbour caught me looking in the window at 11 oclock at night to see if the red light went out on the gearbox, what is it about these cars ?
