SubscriberA good tip when removing and refitting diffs is as follows.
If you have a garage jack that has a big cup on top like most do, you can drill 2 holes that match up with the two holes on the bottom of the diff nose.
Then get the correct bolts to screw into the diff to hold the steering arm guard and damper weight or just use the ones which are already in the diff.
On most garage jacks you can remove the cup from the top of the arm.
So attach the cup to the diff by placing the bolts through the cup and then into the bottom of the diff.
Lift the diff onto the jack by dropping the cup into position.
You can then trundle the diff under the car and onto the bolts.
I can tell you it is much easier than trying to lift it.
The reverse also applies . Just undo all the nuts and pull the jack backwards.

I thought the two console gaiters were joined at the hip..

Dropped the D2 off at the mechanic to repalce injector Orings and copper washers.
flashin m+s lights when i started it at work to come home... tranny was funny and it died 200m up the road on a roundabout.
turned it on and off a few times and it seems to have cleared....
of to the local landy guy on sat to get batt test done... *sigh* all part of landy ownership i guess!

SubscriberSo a 15 minute basic oil change turned into 2 hours. Refitting the rotor filter cover... bolt on engine side ok...passenger side refusing to go in. I think the top part of the tapped thread is stripped. Long story short I found a longer M6 bolt which was long enough to reach the good part of the thread.
Frustrating when it happens mid afternoon when ur going away the next day...
Luckily it all ended well
