    Replacing Handbrake Drum And Rear Output Shaft Oil Seal On A Series

    You may notice oil coming out of your handbrake (transmission brake) drum. This will in all probability be a leak from the gearbox rear output shaft oil seal. Later series models have an oil catcher on the output flange, and the oil is supposed to leak out of a hole in the casting, just in...

You get oil all over the tyres! Of course, if this happens you can drain out the oil...

    Products Explained Essential Tools For Series Land Rovers

    If you intend to do your own maintenance of your Land Rover, then it stands to reason that you should have your own set of tools. Years ago, when garage labour cost less than it does now, if you had no tools the cost of buying them could be directly weighed against the cost of labour. Then, (as...
