Which ones are Comet wheels? They don't appear on this list https://www.cxmdunord.nl/rims-land-rover/

The Bosch engine management doesn't like anything other than genuine Bosch MAF sensors and if they are starting to go, they rarely respond to cleaning. Best to just leave it alone unless it is showing signs of dying. At 105k,, it's barely run in, although you might have one lambda sensor showing signs of failing and you have 4 unlike the rest of us that only have two.

Have you contacted Ashcrofts https://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/automatic-gearboxes.html? I doubt it would take them 2 weeks.

75% of all Land Rovers ever built are still on the road, the other 25% managed to get home.......

I quite like the one that an Aussie has as his signature: Land Rover - turning drivers into mechanics since 1948.

I bought one of those and found it didn't fit as well as a 3/8th drive socket and extension, in fact, it didn't fit at all. You need to be able to rotate the propshaft as the socket will only fit at one point so it's a bit laborious but not difficult. Hardest one is the rear UJ on the front prop as the crossmember gets in the way.

the britpart shaft wasn't phased the same as the LR original one...

I bought a Bearmach front propshaft from Rimmers as my original had wear in the splines on the sliding joint. That also had the phasing wrong. On the original there was a spline missing so it could only be put back together with the correct phasing but the replacement didn't so could go together any way. I just split it and phased it correctly. That probably explains why the phasing isn't mentioned in RAVE for the P38 but it is in RAVE for the Classic (which doesn't have the missing spline)

Either that and just conclude that your car is slightly incontinent, live with it and just top up the fluids every so often. It's nice to have a leak free car but unless it is serious then the effort involved in curing the leak will outweigh the pleasure and costs. If you can see it and the source is obvious, deal with it but otherwise don't waste your life trying to find it. Mine has had a slight oil leak ever since the engine rebuild which I suspect is from the rear of the valley gasket (the bit that I did and not V8 Developments) but it needs a litre of oil about every 5,000 miles so I just live with it. As an oil leak is now part of the MoT I just crawled underneath with degreaser and a pressure washer before it went in for the last test.

I've got the original steering box, it doesn't leak and is perfectly dry and has done 368,000 miles. So either you've never driven in a straight line in your life and have worn it out or it isn't PAS fluid. The pipes can rust/chafe though and leak but the steering boxes don't.

Yup, same stuff. If it's not even reaching the stick, if you start the engine and turn the steering from lock to lock, the reservoir will be filled with aerated fluid.

I'm afraid it was me that accused you of bollox but only in that you were saying that BT were in breach of GDPR by opting you in to FON, knowingly or not. BT have your personal details anyway, your name, address, bank details, every single telephone number you have called, the amount of data you have downloaded from the net, etc. All of that they have, and are entitled to have, as you are a customer of theirs. The other data they have, as they supplied it, is the MAC address of your home hub. However, what they are not doing is publishing any personal identifiable information. Anyone can see that my BT hub has the SSID of BTHub6-WR3Q but they can't find out who owns it just from that. OK, they can conclude that it is in my address as the strongest signal they receive from it is when they are directly outside but that still doesn't identify who owns it (other than it belongs to that bloke that lives in the house of the corner with 3 P38 Range Rovers parked outside).

As for personal information that is pseudonymised, in just the same way as some of us have Googled RRToadHall and found that his real name is Carl Christy, anyone can Google Gilbertd and probably find that it is regularly used by a bloke known as Dick Gilbert (who is actually called Richard Gilbert). If anyone was then interested enough, they could look up the voters list and find my address. So should the voters list be subject to GDPR as it contains personal information that allows you to identify someone, or does the fact that you already know the name mean you already have identified them?

Finally, anyone that doesn't use the FON service can simply switch it off on their own hub (which means they will then no longer be able to connect to anyone else's) but nobody else can connect to theirs. They opted in, knowingly or otherwise, to a service, not to having their personal data revealed.

Yes, red ATF. If you unscrew the cap it has a level measure on the underside with two marks on it. When not running the level should be up to the top mark.

Groaning steering is usually a sign the level is low.

You sure that's power steering fluid? Looks more like coolant to me.

But it isn't a car, it's a Land Rover.......

I've never seen UJs without grease nipples, in fact on the service schedule, they should be greased every 24,000 miles which would be a bit difficult if they didn't have nipples.

But shitpart also source parts from OEM and 'other' suppliers. The genuine Dunlop air springs will often come via shitpart in a blue box too.

The rear seals I've always used are Corteco from Island but they don't list a Corteco for the front.

Is your address and the fact that you are a BT Broadband Customer 'personal' information: I would say so !

Utter bollocks. No different to someone seeing you using a Tesco carrier bag to put the contents of your kitchen waste bin in the dustbin and concluding you are probably a Tesco customer. Personal information is anything that identifies the person not where they do their shopping or who they use as an ISP.

I opted in in May 2011 when I moved to my previous house. I admit it may have been that the default was In so requiring an opt out but it was still made clear what was involved. As for identifying customers (and therefore coming under GDPR), how does knowing what address contains a BT home hub identify the owner or provide their personal details? It doesn't, so there are no personal details being given out. OK, so I can tell which of my neighbours are using BT, which are using Sky and which one is using Talk Talk. How does that give me any personal information? That fact that the couple living at number 2 use BT doesn't tell me anything else about them. What personal details can be obtained by knowing that someone uses BT as their ISP and live at a particular address?

As for the attempted analogy about the power company, that would only be relevant if your broadband was metered but FON is only available if you are on an unlimited tariff. If you are on a capped tariff then it isn't an option.

I'm still a little confused why someone would need to use you internet connection to send SMSs, emails maybe but not SMSs. An SMS is sent over the mobile network not via the internet. And why would he choose to use your service when there are thousands of others that he could use? In the village where I live there is a population of 2,455 people, so, assuming 2 point something people per household, that's roughly 1,200 households and there are 416 BT FON hotspots in the village. So if I wanted to go and use someone else's, very slow, connection, I could but why would I choose one over the 415 others available? Now if you have changed the password on your main connection to something easily guessed, then he wouldn't be using the throttled back FON connection, he would log in to the unrestricted one. Then you could simply block his MAC address. In the old days you could log in virtually anywhere as anyone with an SSID of Linksys often hadn't changed the password from the default of password. Alternatively, why not just turn off FON on your hub? You won't be able to connect to anyone else's hub but as it seems to bother you so much, why would you care?

Shouldn't be a problem, everyone knows women can't reverse......
