AVB Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 My Defender doesn't leak oil. I've checked the drive - spotless. Oil level constant. Is there something wrong with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimfire4969 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 That is a shame, because without the leak you are not able to access to auto under body lubricate and protect function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossy 666 Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) The reason your defender doesn't leak any oil is probably because its probably all leaked out already 😂 Edited May 27, 2017 by crossy 666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-dot Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Well i must be one of the lucky ones... had LR's since 1975 some dozen vehicles and always made it home and fixed and serviced them myself. My 10 year old Puma is now worth almost what it cost me new. Parked next to exotica it's the one that gets all the attention and folk in the street actually smile as i pass.

Sprinter Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Of course the unique selling point of land rovers is that they get you further away from the road than any other vehicle before they break down..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
