One little oil drop appeared on the driveway yesterday. It took 6 years and 136K but we are marking our turf now. I was begining to think I didnt have a rover.   Phillip Perkinson (Rover4x4) Member Username: Rover4x4 Post Number: 185 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Sunday, April 27, 2003 - 11:41 am:    welcome to the club   Steve R (Barton) Member Username: Barton Post Number: 76 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, April 28, 2003 - 01:55 am:    You know why the English don't make TV's? ....cause they can't figure out a way to make it leak oil! 136K...that's awesome!   Carter Simcoe (Carter) Senior Member Username: Carter Post Number: 2327 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Monday, April 28, 2003 - 02:25 pm:    ha ha, I've never heard that one Steve. charles, be sure to tell your rover it has nothing to be embarsed of and that sort of thing is perfectly natural.   Roland Kutasi (Disco1) Member Username: Disco1 Post Number: 92 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 01:35 am:    What you have found Charles is the Land Rover built in RUST PREVENTION SYSTEM. I'm surprised that it took so long before it activated.   charles pastrano (Charles) Member Username: Charles Post Number: 186 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 07:55 am:    Im suprised also. It is like, the anticipation is gone and I have nothing to look forward to.   Jack Messenger (Jackm) New Member Username: Jackm Post Number: 9 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 08:06 am:    Charles, I think LR is in the oil business. In my 1994 300 Tdi auto the rear crankshaft seal was replaced at 32,000 KM, and has gone again at 105,000 KM. The sump seal has gone twice. All three transfer case seals have leaked; input, intermediate and rear. Transmission rear seal, power steering seal, front differential pinion. Now the front crank case seal looks as though it has gone. There is so much oil sprayed underneath the vehicle it looks like any other Land rover vehicle. Have faith!!!
