What about the IRD and the front most propshaft? The drive for the rear diff starts here.

The doors are big as well on the D3. Not easy to only part open and crawl out.

You simply don't have front sensors. If you want the front ones then you need to check the loom has the plugs (which it should do if it has the rear system installed). It may be easier to locate a used bumper complete with sensors as the cost will outweigh the benefit. Once installed, you...

The LR official line on late Td5, if you take a look at TOPIx, shows 5w-30 Fully Synthetic. The official recommendation is Castrol GTX Professional which is the trade name for the Ford spec Magnatec 5w-30. In the real world, it doesn't matter too much as long as you make sure it meets...

You can remove the front 'sump' plate and change the solenoids on the JATCO valve block which deal with the shifting. Your first symptom sounds like a pressure valve solenoid which causes the box to shift harshly at slower speeds. However, to do the job properly you will be looking at at least...

An auto will benefit from a remap. The gearbox tends to hunt around looking for a suitable gear pre-map. Post map, you will find the extra torque stops this from happening. Your 51 plate should be able to be mapped using flash download. In other words, a map can be put on to the vehicle...

I own a LR repair and service workshop. We use local MOT centres which is good in some ways because we get an independent person look the vehicle over using VOSA approved methods. The only issues we get tend to be in the interpretation, where a failure occurs when we feel it should be an...

Not really. Best visual checks are usually draining the fluid and looking for metal contamination. Another more difficult way is to inspect the crown wheel by removing the prop and back plate, then looking in with an inspection light. If done on a 4 poster, you can move the vehicle backwards...

:5biagree: - And don't forget early diff failure, Jon. And the fact you have to remove the body to renew the fuel pump belt at 105k miles. Pretty naff really except when you've got the money to fix it.

I know, some general garages are OK with Land Rovers but usually they have no idea. I expect the fluid was low as it isn't easy to fill correctly as there is a procedure to follow to ensure the torque converter is full of fluid before checking the level, otherwise it is incorrect. The fluid...

Could be any of the previously mentioned issues. Incorrect level, incorrect fluid, incorrect/substandard parts or incorrect fitting of the O-rings or filter. If you don't feel confident doing it yourself, find a specialist who you can trust to do it properly, or even with you present.

Yep, airsprings for Self Levelling Suspension (SLS) on the 7 seater was done to cope with the prospect of passengers in the rear, so all 7 seaters are SLS. I do know NFU will insure 7 seaters which have been coil converted, but many won't cover you so you need to check before doing the...

A leaking exhaust manifold will squeal like a belt squeal. Sort of a chirpy squeal...

Quite acceptable being smug in this situation. Outstanding.

Best way to check is with diagnostics - read the codes. Then go from there.

False alarm - Looks like they are showing you how to fit injectors correctly without damaging the head...:doh:

I noticed a new Special Service Message on TOPIx this morning which has something to do with cracked heads around the injector(s). Not had chance to read it yet, but it is there now.

Contact customer services at Gaydon. You are wasting your time talking to the Dealership. Phrases like 'Customer service' don't exist at the Dealerships. The issue you've had isn't unusual though. Those TdV6 units are mass produced Euro rubbish like the TDCI in the Freelander2.

Don't use additives - Slick50 is liquid teflon in a can. Castrol are the BMW and the Jag Land Rover supplier now (not that means an awful lot), so go with the Magnatec 5W30 or even a 10W40. The EDGE products are really for vehicles with DPF's. Most of the older engines like the M60/M62 may...

Is it Genuine Part? Do you want paypal payment?
