Thanks for the kind offer Onslow. Its not going to get wround much for the next few months cos I'm deploying to Iraq. But when I come back I'll be attack it full on (with some extra cash I'll have) and get it sorted.
I dont want to take it back to the guy cos he is just a pain in the ass and I dont trust he will fix it properly.
I do have to say though. The engine pulls really well and when its not leaking I'm getting 24mpg even when I'm going down the motorway full throttle for the whole tank.
Somthing else popped up yesterday (causing me to get stuck and then pulled out by a tractor).. It suddenly kept popping out of drive. The Hi/low lever kept slipping back to the middle. There wasnt any pattern to it as it would pop out when power was on and when engine braking. I finally got out of the mess I was in and onto the road and spend about half an hour going almost nowhere as it kept jumping out of hi box too.. After a good waggle in all directions on the lever it seemed to be ok., I dare not go in the mud now in case it jumps out again half way through causing me to get stuck.
Is there any chance this is caused at the time of the engine change?
Also I have a leak from the gear box now. Even with the old 2.5 petrol I've never had so much as one drop of oil leak from anywhere., now I've upgraded I'm just like every other leaking landrover...
