You've got several options for a 2nd key.

Hi Gary, your description of the oil on the bell housing is spot on so thanks, this is where I will focus. I will of course check the coolant also. I had a local landrover specialist tell me the oil stain on the housing was due to a known casting problem and that I should leave it as a very expensive fix. Another specialist who were absolute cowboys and had the car for 2 months told me not to worry about it. They also told me I needed new turbos when in fact I just needed a new actuator on the secondary turbo.

If you have oil soaked into the bell housing, I'd be looking at the oil feed pipes.

If I raise the seat as suggested to its highest position and spray lubricant in an attempt to remove the squeaking is there a particular type of spray that works best? Also any areas I shouldn’t spray?

Don't spray oil on or near the belts as it will cause more squeal. Spray the belt with water and if the noise goes away the belt is worn/ contaminated or the tensioner has gone weak and needs replacing but you may as well then replace the whole lot ( pulleys as well) as the biggest part of the job is removing the fan and shroud for access. While you are at it look at replacing other items this gains easy access to like the AC compressor, alternator and water pump. For a temporary fix put talc on the belt but it's just putting off the inevitable which worsens the colder the mornings get. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |
