    dont whinge about LR maintenance

    blew a blinker bulb on the front of my territory yesterday coming home from a visit to the doctors

    the dash lit up with warning lights, playing a merry tune as well and left me in no doubt there was an issue

    quick look to see how i get to the bulb to replace it...

    bloody hell, looks like a 2 hour job

    remove 15+ odd screws, pull out wheel arch plastic cover, find the bulb holder nearly at arms length

    and then put it all back FFS

    2012 SZ Territory TX 2.7 TDCi

    Falcon's similar. Yet changing the front indicator globe in my D2 is one of the easiest jobs in the world.

    A simple oil filter change on the missus's Triton is a bugger as well, You have to remove the rubber on the wheel arch and fight your way to the filter.
    The filter change on the D2a V8 was a simple matter.

    And even that is made doubly hard compared to a D1!!



    If I remember it right, my dads old Explorer was as hard if not harder than the description of the Territory(may have been headlight bulb, but either one of them was made far too hard for a simple bulb)

    Strewth! $12 for 1 1/2 hours excitement is good value Inc. I reckon you'd have to go back to £sd to get that sort of deal. You know, six quid.

    Perhaps JD might enlighten us?

    At least you didn't need a scan tool to reset the thing...
