When I drained the passenger side it was a milky brown colour and evidence of water Iam thinking it came in through the seal on the back of the swivel housing but replaced both all of them too.

Also supplied me with a incorrect tie rod end so the passenger side is done but not drivers but dosent matter as Ive gotta rebuild the pitman arm as well.

So again Justin thanx for your help it was just the inner axle seal that confused me some people say remove/damage then when you said leave it in cause the oil will drain back to the diff when on a angle I thought yeah that makes sense.But even when I spoke to the LR dealer that I bought the flanges from he said to remove it.But there in now and I dont want to have to do that job again in a hurry, years of mud dust and muck mixed with grease and oil is so much fun ...Plus I have beer to drink that I did't have time to drink.

Also a big thanx to my brother for the free labour and the cartoon of beer he bought, a offsider that works for nothing and brings a cartoon First time he's ever worked on a LR.
Good one Azza.

Fun isn't it? A good sense of achievement and bonding with ones LR makes for a good weekend

I would suggest also adding more like 500ml to the swivel, and don't touch that one shot grease with a barge pole. The reason I say add more, is that after the hub and bearings get a little oil, the swivel housing level will be low.
Just recheck it after a drive and top up a little more if req.
