    ...as a matter of fact I do have the aux battery there (but no provent).

    Now I know why one that I looked at had the oil filter remotely located on the firewall.

    And why do Land Rover think it a good idea to put the locks outside of the door seals where they get dust in and can't be unlocked?

    Landrovers are easier to work on as they get newer. my countys bad, everything is in the way of everthing else. The discos upto 94 were bad too, lots on nuts uncaptive everywhere. discos after 94 got heaps better, and P38s are excellent. Example, with a p38, you have 2 bolts holding the front or rear bumper on (and you can get at them)! You can unbolt the radiator support center to remove the motor (again 2 bolts). They actually thought of working on the car (although i hear the blend motors and heater core are a pain).

    The trick with tailshafts, is a 1/4 inch drive 9/16 socket if you can ever find one (very rare), and a wobble drive extension. I got this tip off an apprentice at a landrover place who was always given the job of removing the shafts.

    Geeezzzzz Inc, ya started something here.

    Just try changing a sump gasket on an AR Ford Telstar (GD Mazda).....might be easier to pull the engine out.

    On the Landy's......well I love 'em, but I have developed a deep and abiding hatred for the blasted %$#@ seatbox. What I assumed was going to be a 15-20 minute job ...........well 2 days later finally saw the mongrel thing out. Personally I think every Landy owner should buy cartons of 'easy off'....should make that a law

    At the moment at home I'm spannering...

    An EFI engine swap into a SWB Vitara

    A 1972 Range Rover to Dakar build

    The Disco 2's new upgrades...

    Modifications to 2 Suzuki Boulevard Cruisers


    The Easiest is the bikes, the D2 next then the Rangie (lots of cutting, grinding etc...)

    The worst is the Vitara Gotta have the small hands of a Japanese person to work on that thing (and I have rather the opposite)

    D2 TD5 oil filter is easy.

    Tie a slip knot in a piece of rope (approx 2 metre long), wrap the remainder around the oil filter, pull the rope, the oil filter unscrews. Think and you will have no problems.
