    Tools for maintenance and repairs

    With Christmas coming up i figure it's the perfect opportunity to splurge a little a buy all the tools i'm going to need in order to keep the landy in tip top shape. Unfortunately i wouldn't have a clue is to what tools i'll be needing. That's where this forum comes

    What tools am I going to need in order to carry out all the less advanced work on the landy? The more detail you can provide the better

    Thanks in advance.

    1996 Land Rover Discovery V8i + LPG

    Being a Landrover
    A multi metre and or test light for testing electrical faults .

    But that aside

    A general assortment of screw drivers
    A 3/8th socket set or 1/2inch socket set (up to you)
    A metric spanner set 8 - 21 mm preferably

    With these above things you should be able to tackle most normal jobs / maintenance .

    Cheers

    Do you need a viscous fan spanner for the V8's? I know on my 300tdi it was an essential tool.

    A 12 point 5/16 or 8mm 1/4" drive socket to suit the rocker cover bolts if you have that style. Or chuck'em and use allen bolts or some of the old Philips head ones.

    Enough extensions for your socket set to reach bell housing bolts from the rear of the trans, and a wobble joint long extension or two for the socket needed, as space up there is at a premium.

    At least two good hydraulic bottle jacks, and decent axle stands. Big chunks of hardwood may suffice.

    And a logic probe that can analyse voltages and pulse rates around your fuel injection system: SXE-Probe_(VFP1000) Mine gets used regularly as it shows fast variations in voltage as well as duty cycle and frequency. You can find out if voltages vary with engine speed etc giving you a better idea of what's working.

    All of the stuff mentioned below, too.
