Didn't touch the EPB at this time, all seems fine so I leave it until it's time to change rear pads.

After the brakes its time to go on with engine oil. Starting with removing the under shield. A bit cheap this is plastic while on D3 it's a sturdy metal plate. But this has better sound proofing.

Here we can see both sump oil plugs, don't know if its custom to empty from both or just the forward one.

The rear plug is in a really awkward position, right above a cross member.

Here on it's way out. Just about a bit less than a litre comes out here.

And then the forward one. Also not in the best position. But much better for access.

Wonder if I can put a Femco plug on here? Would make it easier for the future changes.

I have these for both gearbox and sump on my Discovery 2's http://www.drainplug.co.uk/index.html

The card board trick works as well, just a bit messy.

Back on with two new OEM plugs.

The workshop belongs to a friend of mine, also a LR addict. The two of us work on our own and others LR's as much (or little) time allows. It's a great asset to have. Thumbs Up

Replacing the engine oil filter.



And filling engine oil. Using Castrol Magnatec 5W-30 A5

Feels good to get rid of that black oil. I normally change oil on all my landys when the oil start to get darker. Max 10,000 kms.

Back on with caliper and pads.



Out of interest, where did the front discs come from? LR ones would have a grey (anti corrosion) spray finish...

What an interesting thread. Thanks for posting.

One question.... back at the start you say you contacted the then owner of EDF. How? Can you track owners in Sweden just from the number plate?

Wish we could over here, would stop some Censored ers driving like they do. 405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus
93 RR Classic efi

Remember it's easier to get forgiveness than permission!

Gone in order:
4.4 TDV8 SE - gone to a good home
93 Classic hard dash Plymouth Blue
03 L322 Oslo Blue
2000 Disco TD5 ES Epsom Green
98 P38 Rioja Red
89 Classic Cairngorm Brown

Yep we can, All it takes is an text-message to the automated system and itīll return the cars current status (taxed and so on) and current owner.

People still drive like a les tho..

It's very simple, you just contact the Swedish Transportation Agency, (similar as UK DVLA) and get the registred owners name and address. You can even look it up through their mobile text message service! Very convenient when on the go. Then you can also get home and mobile phone numbers via the usual directory services Thumbs Up

Bought another addition to EDF.

Where did you get that kit ?, I have one from my old audi, but itīs a bit to small to fit whole shopping bags under.
