P0205 injector open circuit again. I’m guessing it’s coming time to invest in a new set of injectors, dammit.

Hmm true, but I think I’ll just buy new genuine Bosch and be done with it.

Rimmers or AF still cheapest for genuine I reckon. Haven't checked island 4x4 but they'd be competitive too.

270,000km plus on a set of injectors is pretty good, especially with our often dubious diesel in this country.

I’ve always done that.

I nearly drove my D1 into a vertical mine shaft years ago, and reviewing what would have been required to get out showed this requirement - only way out would have been to climb through the vehicle, break the tailgate glass and get rescued that way.

So modified all set ups since to enable them to be undone and moved from the cabin. Tools to do so mounted to the barriers themselves.

(Having said that I don’t run a barrier in the D4)

Not tried it but I can undo the CB mount knobs from the back seats if required,.

I thought I would rebush the whole set of control arms.. im at 270 I think. The rears held up well so I wanted genuine bushes again instead of aftermarket arms. I will would not recommend it to others. It's become a **** job. Yes I've saved a heap of cash. But im glad we are locked down. I've been in the driveway since 9 am and only done 1 corner. I did a hand brake adjustment while I was there and flushed the brakes. Hoping the second side will be quicker

AF now offer a complete set of control arms as a kit. I reckon I’ll go that way but no trouble from the rears or upper front to date.

I am attempting to bring the servicing level to where it should be on my 2014 L319.

Today I tackled three projects:

Engine oil and filter change taught me two things, put the the new filter cartridge in the block and not the cannister when fitting, too obtain an oil level read the engine must be at rest for 30 minutes after it has been run to circulate the new oil.

Exchanging the fuel filter has a degree of difficulty that I have not previously encountered. The problem was aggravated by the fact that my replacement filter had no indexing marks, may be purchase genuine next time.

Auto box and filter change. This vehicle has just clicked over 120,000 and probably has not had a lot of TLC , LR pushed the envelope with their claims this is a sealed unit and does not require service. Draining the oil revealed transmission fluid the same colour as the engine oil I had exchanged and the filter pad in the same condition. In the future the oil will be exchanged every 30K and filter every 60K, clean fluid has to enhance the longevity of the box.

Removal and fitment of the pan also has a high level of difficulty because of minimum clearances and will not part company until the bracket supporting the loom on the drivers side is removed, the pan drainplug boss is not level with the interior face of the pan therefore you cannot completely drain the pan. A recipe to give you a bath.

Removal of the pan bolts located above the cross members can be achieved using a 1/4 drive Torx and a 1/4 cranked ring spanner for those that do not own every tool in the shed.

Progress is slow however "The List" is getting shorter.
