Thank you ebajema, I will follow up on those ideas. Not giving up so easily.
Starting with the deployable side steps.
What a sh11ty concept. I originally shut them off, but then Mrs complained the next day already. Where's the steps! So I was out and change the configuration to activate them again.
And since they must come off before going on the hoist, I had to service the fixing points.
And as usual, LR don't know different metals shouldn't be mixed... alloy, mild steel and stainless in a lovely mix. Anyway, new stainless bolts goes on. |

I just treated the screws with PTFE spray, this will leave a dry lubrication, which should last until I take them of next time. The advantage with something that dries is it will not attract dirt to build up on them.
So time to get EDF up onto the lift for the first time.
Always a bit exiting to go service your purchase the first time. What's the real condition of things.
Front brakes needs doing. Both pads and discs are worn enough for me to replace them.
Worn front disc. |

See if you can have a good look at the suspension air bags. They start cracking in the "fold over". Just try to extend the suspension to offroad height to expose the fold over as much as possible. On my 2006 you couldn't see a thing until we took them of and blew they up completely and it showed a LOT of cracks.

The DVD player may need an update. I recently got a new Sony BD player. BDs were fine but it wouldn't play DVDs. I was just ready to pack it up and take it back when I noticed it wanted to run an update. After update, suddenly everything plays fine. |

Thanks for the info on DVD, I'll dig into it deeper later to see what can be done.
Wow, love these brake calipers ![]()
Taking the pads out.
And the discs just popped off, no need for any brute force ![]()
Old vs new pads.
New impressive brake disc. Really pleased EDF came with the Brembos.
Back on with caliper and pads.
Soon ready to rock again. |

Found the reason for this message.
A nail or screw have penetrated the tread.
Which gave me a reason to bring out the spare, for the first time in EDF's life.

Measured the rear disc as well, almost like new.
And pads ok, so just check all is moving ok and put it back together.

Didn't touch the EPB at this time, all seems fine so I leave it until it's time to change rear pads.
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.
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 in september we did a trip to our second home.
This is our second home.
The road gets smaller and smaller, this is almost the last section leadnig to the final three properties on the road.
Our closest neighbour is my brother in law, he also got good car taste as you can see.
