Land Rover Diaries: Broken Down
http://suetonius-landroverdiaries.blogspot.com/2008/02/broken-down.html
Thursday, 28 February 2008. This is a sight that our neighbours have seen twice recently, it's becoming some kind of common occurence - but it's to be expected since we have done 6000 miles since we got him in October. Current guess of diagnostics is that the rear differential is dead - haven't had a chance to check properly yet - but a quick check showed that there was too much play in it.

Land Rover Diaries: I'm Back!
http://suetonius-landroverdiaries.blogspot.com/2008/06/im-back.html
Sunday, 8 June 2008. Have replaced the differential, however we have now noticed that we need to replace one of the axle oil seals - perhaps that was the cause of the differential being empty in the first place. Went for a new look too - and now topless! Unfortunately the screen can't come down due to not having the brackets. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Love Mutley - Mini Rebuild.

Land Rover Diaries: April 2008
http://suetonius-landroverdiaries.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, 5 April 2008. Hmm, something missing. So, we got some weather and put some time aside to take the differential off Suetonius. Half shafts are fine, and the differential came off relatively easy. Oh, and it had no transmission fluid in at all - it should have had a full 1.5 litres, but not a drop. Nothing obvious once it had been taken off, however there was a lot of swarf and a fair bit of gorging and pitting, the search continues - perhaps a bearing? Links to this post.

Land Rover Diaries: BRAKE!!
http://suetonius-landroverdiaries.blogspot.com/2008/07/brake.html
Sunday, 13 July 2008. Rear N/S brake has problems - the leak from the hub seal has effected the brake and has started making 'grating' and 'screeching' noises. Should get it up and apart during the week - we are suppose to be attending a local classic car show in the first weekend of August. Fingers crossed. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Land Rover Diaries: Replaced Prop
http://suetonius-landroverdiaries.blogspot.com/2008/02/replaced-prop.html
Saturday, 9 February 2008. Bearings had gone in the prop - lots of lovely play in it - was a five minute job to do 8 bolts and then it was out, new one in and do the 8 bolts up again. Running nicely since we got the muff - gets up to a normal temperature and manages to stay. No other problems to report! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Love Mutley - Mini Rebuild.

Land Rover Diaries: January 2008
http://suetonius-landroverdiaries.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, 13 January 2008. Decided to change the roof over so we could carry things in the back without it all getting soaked - would be useful if they did rear load bay covers for Land Rovers. Pretty simple and straight forward job, and gave us a taste of the summer with all the panels and roof off! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Love Mutley - Mini Rebuild.
