United Kingdom 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Auto Cairns BlueDiscovery 3

Dropped my 2005 SE off with Flack (Mick) to get the the full set of front & back belts, tensioners, pulleys, water pump and oil pump replaced Smile

Top guy, did & great job for me and also gave me a couple of pointers to some small jobs that I need to do.

Happy days

Following all the good work done yesterday by Flack,,, today I removed and stripped down the auto box shift linkage bushing, which was partially seized... fixed that.

Next I removed and stripped out the lower steering column as the UJ was seized in one direction and tight in the other. So I got it all cleaned out in my ultrasonic cleaning tank, washed out all the crud from the UJ's. Pryed back the rubber O rings and cleaned everything out with brake cleaner, dried it all and gave it a good spray greasing, so it was all smooth again. Considering it's been on the car for 16 years once it was freed up and cleaned it was as good as new.

Bit of a job getting it off though Sad

Just waiting for my turbo inter cooler hose to arrive now.

Spent a few hours with a £15 headlight restoration kit. Both headlights have been cloudy and oxidised since I brought the car. Niggled me ever since, so finally got round to having a go.
I’m quite please with the results..
