Another day, another problem

My FF has started leaking oil on the drive, so I've run it back into the dealer and they have diagnosed the leak as a faulty oil seal on the transfer box. Evidently it's a 5 hour job to fix, so I can only assume it's a transfer box and possibly gearbox out time. Thankfully the approved used LR warranty have authorised the repair so it won't hurt the bank account.

Whilst they have the car in pieces, is there any preventative maintenance in that area, that I should get them to do at the same time?

Thanks

Been there in January-February only it was a diff oil seal not TF box so YMMV (I hope so!)

Potential horror story (at least for the warranty company!)

Oil seal on diff (facing TF box) involved stripping thee exhaust and so on,

The bleed screw was corroded in place, warranty engineer called out to approve new diff: approved!

re-fitting they snapped a manifold bolt which needed a 'special tool' (I offered to loan them my Snap-On extractor )

Then diagnosed a vibration; Engineer called to approve two new drive shafts: Approved!

Total parts bill £1150 (plus a brand new windscreen because part of the heater wasn't clearing)

Lovely stuff!

I hope the TF box is much easier!

Good luck!

sorry to hear that justin, hope the repair goes well.  ..............................




this is handy

My transfer box started leaking a short while ago, I removed the breather and blew it through with an airline. So far no more leaks, hoping it was just an obstructon in the breather pipe. Only time will tell......
