    Mechanical help/know how - South east Perth

    Hi guys,

    Looking for someone or recommendations, to work on my Range Rover.

    I need the following done, and I have all parts and fluids.
    - gearbox service
    - front diff oil changed
    - rear diff oil changed plus removal of old, install new pinion seal and mud shield
    - new water pump fitted plus flush system
    - front diff guard fitted
    - front and rear brake pads replaced

    Any ideas would be great, even ideas of cost.

    Cheers, Evo

    mate, thats all DIY stuff,

    kick into it, one job at a time, one weekend at a time, by the end of the year you'll be doing all your own service work and saving a fotrtune.

    Yeah, I know it's all DIY stuff, but I was diagnosed in Feb with a lower back issue, so have been off work due to not being able to bend, lift, etc.
    I was stubborn and removed, rebuilt and refitted my steering box, and that was the last straw unfortunately.
    I'd love to do it myself, I know how to, and I'd love to save money, but I just can't justify being bed ridden for a week afterwards.
    Main ones are water pump and flush, and gearbox service.
    I can leave diffs and brakes for now if need be.

    Thanks though, I know you were only trying to give me ideas to save money/time and it's appreciated.

    Cheers, Evo

    Could be an idea with legs... as long as the 'Supervisor' can sit on his hands...and patiently instruct his apes, using single syllable words...

    Put a video camera underneath displaying to a laptop etc above ground so no bending etc....sit in the lounge chair and watch the fun...

    No doubt, - but is he still working as a Visiting Mechanic ?

    - Found it difficult to get hold of him on the phone/return calls earlier this year, thought he'd gone to the Dark Side (Employee...)
