When i did mine 5 years ago i noticed that the originals weren't pushed in with the lip flush, so i fitted them with the rear end flush with the arm tube which was the same as originals i took out.Quote:

I assumed as much. Offer still stands.Quote:

Here’s the original LR arm I’m rebuilding

Got my CV boot kit and LCA bushes from LR last week so made time to pull the axle and replace the split boot, was going to leave the outer boot as it was still perfect but decided to replace it while i had it out and apart, regretted it as soon as i removed the boot as i would then need to flush out all the old grease first , clean and dry it out before re-greasing :wallbash:.
The split boot held up ok for a few weeks with just silicone holding it together.
Job done and axle refitted, also thought i better change the fuel filter since i seem to have forgotten about it.
Checkout the date on it :o.

Today I removed the foam liner (jack support) from the drivers side rear cubby, and the foam & tie-down unit for the UK tow bar from the passenger side.
Wow, I've just tripled the space. More room for tools!
That unit to secure the tow bar weighs about 2 kilos and takes a lot of space. I can understand it not letting the tow bar become a projectile in a prang.
I removed mine which allowed for the compressor to fit in there even with the AC blower there.Quote:

There's a reason why the foam is there, and its not only to restrain the jack (DS) and tow tongue (PS), also kerps the road noise down and stops dust getting into the load space.
Problem is though is the foam is shaped for the pommy cast 1 piece ball/tongue and not the hitch receiver tongue that we use so it was useless anyway.Quote:

All good mate, the D3 pretty much behaved itself but I was careful with RPM keeping it to no more than 2K. Only failed once and that was close to home turning onto the dirt road detour.Quote:

On another matter I have a film of oil on top intercooler hose, it is the blue silicon type. Can not feel or hear any leaks, splits and not getting a cloud of black smoke. The car is sluggish at times though but that could be transmission.
Any suggestions on what to check for the oil film?
