    'Drip Tray' for Defender. Suggestions?

    We're getting a new driveway done and I am under strict instructions that the Defender is NOT to leak any oil onto the new concrete.

    Anyway a normal little drip tray won;t do the job as obviously oil can drip onto running gear, flow along and then drip form almost anywhere under the car.

    So has anyone else come up with a solution for a siliar scenario?

    Maybe a large piece of rubber? Tarp?

    No doubt there are many possibilities I haven't thought of as well.

    I'm open to ideas.

    Thanks
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    Build some ramps over a disused swimming pool or park on the neighbor's drive.
    Sorry Vlad, I'll leave now.

    Back in 98 mate & I had our S1's on the MTAQ stand at Brisbane International Motor Show along with a FJ Holden & a DeLorean . The two LR's sat there for the week without drip trays , the FJ had a drip tray under the motor to catc the oil out the rear main & the DeLorean had dlastic sheet tied in all 4 corners under it. . When we picked up the cars at the end of just over a week there was no oil on carpet under the LR's , the Holden tray was well oiles & the DeLorean not sure the owner had not turned up when we left. Twenty years on the most I need under Landy is an old bath mat .

    One big sheetmetal tray,with kitty litter in it.
    Probably an issue if it rains though and its outside.

    Can you park it under cover,then use as above?

    Replace the vehicle with one that doesn't leak?

    I will be off as well.....

    Yeah that would be a problem and no cover available, no.

    Fix the leaks, That way you are not dripping oil in other peoples driveways that haven't got a special drip tray
    When I first got my D2a it leaked from pretty much every component and now that I have stopped all the leaks I no longer spray paint driveways and I don't have to keep topping up the oils and coolant either.
    Everyone Bangs on about Landrovers leaking oil But seriously like any other brand if they are well maintained this doesn't happen
