Oh I agree, and having seen that will use C-4.
The only point I was making was that the Land Rover spec WSS-M2C924-B is an A-5 oil, which C-3 exceeds. |

Hello all,
I bought these for my L405 for the 'winter' and then ended up spending most of it pounding Motorway so I changed back to Pirelli Scorpion Verdes.

I went to look at an Aintree Green L322 4.4 TDV8 with Cream leather.
What I thought was my ideal spec.
Came home with an L405 4.4 SDV8 in grey.
For me the L405 is the better car, however the ... |

Changed my transfer case and diff oils and it cured it on mine.
Dead easy job to do as well if you have an oil pump.
Even I stayed clean! |

I've just done 6000 miles with Castrol Magnatec 5W40 C-3 in an SDV8.
This was prompted by the fact I knew I was going to be hammering the motorway miles and I had considered the LR-Time videos on o ... |

Hello all,
My 2015 L405 SDV8 is on 90k miles and there is a knocking from the front over small bumps (almost certainly the ACE anti roll bar bushes (ARB) again, these were done at 60k) and the fron ... |

It is on my build list but I have no second for or way of stating it.
I wonder if 'Fuel Operated Heater' is preparation for it as it also states 'LESS Engine Block Heater'.
If anyone knows that ... |

Thank you.
I have exactly the same problem, for 2 1/2 years!
If it had been the front I'd have attended to it but out of sight, out of mind!
I'll do this, be nice to fix something.  |
