Update, Full check over was done by a top mot place who has owned many 4x4 !! Was told welding strength plate was done perfect very good job, slight rust all over but nothing to worry about, rusty but trusty his words was, he has owned one before and said he has seen much worse, have a list of things I have to do but nothing major.
He did notice a leak from the rear pinion seal he said that’s leaking, why we was there we done the rear lsd oil, when drained he said it was horrible had water in it so he flushed this twice with new oil, we also have ordered the pinion seal from Milner 4x4
An from there we done the front diff oil and transfer box oil too,
full engine flush was told oil didn’t look to bad so that’s a plus side.
auto box flush also just because not that there was any problem just piece of mine we didn’t do the filter or gasket though as couldn’t find anywhere that stocked these.
air filter, fuel filter, pollen and oil filter obviously changed, now for the fun bit next door jfa automotive remap this was sold to me once I knew the car was 100% solid. There was a few things they had noticed and have told me to get done but nothing that’s dangerous. Below is what I have been told.
1. exhaust flexi blowing somewhere at the front.
2.fuel pipe breather snapped nothing on the end of it just a loose pipe,
3. Rear spare tyre valve won’t hold pressure
4. Osf roll bar link warn
5. Slight knock at rear diff when accelerating. ??
6. Auxiliary belt split
so Not the cheapest day but money well spent I now no my family are safe.
many help with the above problems or best place to get the parts, the slight knocking I can’t guess what this can be but I myself can’t hear it.
Thanks all who commented and helped as best they could
by the way the remap drive home wow car pulls very well no smoke and also got 42mpg at 75mph on way homeI got 37 on the way there with cruise control and auto box
