Kinda put me off - without a full ramp it's a bit of a by the look of it, but a very useful video if tempted.

Jacked mine up 18 months ago, crawled under and said FTFAGOS. Went down to see Austen at Bell for a quiet life. Got to say that having overnight-ed locally the beer and curry made it all the better. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Having had a go today I have to agree with some of the above posts regarding the difficulty and validity of this work. I purchased the service kit from Bell Engineering and made a start this morning. It took a good hour and a half just to get the propshaft bolts off the flange as the ends had rusted and they kept going tight in the thread and had to be screwed in and out multiple times, all while lying on your back with just a small arc of movement possible on the ratchet. I then decided to have a rethink, since it looked like the shaft would have to come off completely.

So here we are, a few months later, the Haldex pump has failed - at 30,000 miles/4 years old. Now do I look at this as a evidence I should have changed the oil, just bad luck, or a bonus because it's under JLR warranty and I now get a new pump and free oil change Not to mention if they saw evidence of DIY oil change they may have declined the warranty claim (Something I had not considered when deciding against it) I'm very much going with options 2 & 3 and still won't be engaging a Haldex oil change in future either. (Head in sand? Time will tell) |
