I have one.
For the £15 or so, it is a useful tool.

As stated not very impressed, poor quality paper, illustrations not up to standards of past issues for other motors.
But you gets what you pay for and it is in the map pocket on the rear of the drivers seat hopefully never to be required. Wink

I bought one recently for a guide on how to get the front bumper off - and I have to admit I didn't notice any difference between the quality of it and the Defender one I've had for over 10 years Very Happy

Always handy to have Thumbs Up

That's not much use when I'm lying on the driveway though, I'm in the middle of a field so my mobile signal outside makes watching video a waste of time

Why drive to the middle of a field to remove your bumper?

It's a good video
The only thing I can ad is leave one bolt in but lose at the top, it will let u get in behind to unplug the electrics
On your own
Stand at the front remove the bolt lift off, makes it zone man job

I agree, an excellent vid and they should have left top bolt in until last.
By the same guys there is "how to remove wing" also removes the most difficult bolt last leaving wing to be supported by others.

Just nit picking but if you do work solo, such planning is important. Fix it until it's broke !

I bought the Haynes manual off Amazon for about £13. Like a lot of this stuff these days they assume that people are not up to doing much compared with 30 years ago when you would have full instructions on taking a gearbox apart ( did it once and the wife wasn't happy finding the main shaft in the deep freeze and some bearings in the oven ) . There are a lot of references to the need to visit a LR dealer for special equipment and tools so I guess that it's not possible to do everything yourself anyway.
I personally found it interesting background reading and worth getting. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto

I have one, I think it is useful to read up on an issue and decide if to go straight to a dealer rather than muck about with something only to find you need a special tool that you can't get!  MY2014 SD4 XS
