I am SO glad you asked that, I was thinking exactly the same!!!!! Mine is a 300TDi though, registered 01/01/95

Are rusty swivels an MOT failure, or are they only a failure if they are rusty and actually leaking oil? I intend to change the offending one but it would be nice to know in the meantime. Also, the Haynes manual talks about Land Rover now substituting oil with grease, is this any better, and...
