Just wanted to introduce myself and my new s3 laddie. I live in perth, so if you see me honk!
I bought here a week ago, she is my first 4wd and first land rover so I'm still learning the ropes. I bought her on a whim after being "infected" by a series 2 parked down the road and when I was told it was DEFINITELY not for sale that was the last straw and then I found this beauty. The previous owner didn't have her for long (1 month?) but before that I think she was cared for well (annotated service manual with links to LR magazines-also provided and heaps so parts) . I'm just trying to put some in some TLC before taking her out for some fun in the bush.
The car is good nick, except for no oil in anything! Serves me right for not checking! Also the gearbox/ overdrive makes a hell of a noise under engine braking and I believe the gearbox oil mostly leaked into the transfer case, because I pulled so little out of the gearbox and over 2.5L from the transfer?? Any ideas, sounds like another new owner has got a similar problem
Finally any pointers on diagnosing/ improving the steering would be most welcome. It moves around a lot at speed and has a lot of dead movement.
Cheers,
Hendrik
