Your thoughts on the reason AdamHunter?

? I don't have experience in towing with the td5. All of 200km picking up the van I purchased last Sunday! In saying that, in busy reading up on gearbox & torque converters & additional coolers and monitoring.

Its all good,,
The D3 crowd have transfercase extension sumps in a variety of colours---
but its not something thats commonly done with a D2,,
extra gearbox coolers yes!

Coded a new key fob to the Disco, had the air con regassed

Which gas Stevo?

the correct stuff paid someone to come around did mine and another car, have heard people using that super chill stuff.

Reset SRS light and cleaned connector under passenger seat.

Finally fixed the source of my m&s lights flashing when putting it into reverse. Went from intermittent when I got the car (every few months or more) some 6 years ago to every time (a few weeks ago). Seems like the switch was never properly aligned so the reverse contact was dirty. No water ingress but sealed up better now.
Whoever said you can get the switch out in 1/2 hr must have small hands with long fingers or a special tool set.
Btw: my getting the fault on an irregular basis was why I created the m&s causes and remedies thread some 4 years ago.

I've put in a newish front prop shaft, so now I have a 4wd Land Rover not 2WD.
I did buy a bearing repair kit, but the centre bearing housing was hosed.
I'm wondering how to get the centre bearing greased, without dropping the prop shaft and removing the universals.
I got some new muddies.

245/75R16. The spare just fits on the wheel carrier.
Catchfors M/T made by Wind Force Chinese but bought at wholesale.
I'm off to Mansfield over the Labor day long week end. I'll see how they go.
