So had its main dealer service today and as the Trans K9 box was out thought I’d fit my Raw Jack for the spare wheel. Looked like I’ll need to get a new wheel winch as I have the this one !

So was mine but it’s more of a lug with a ring on the top if that makes sense

Front lower wishbones
I bought a pair of front lower wishbones last week as the NS swivel was shot, so I replaced the NS one today, luckily with no drama, as it looks like they have been replaced at some point. (The previous owner 'lost' the service history, so I don't know when) The bushes are splitting but would have lasted at least another year.
I'll be doing the other one tomorrow, then getting the tracking done as the steering wheel is now off centre, even though I put the new bolts in the same places as the old ones.Volunteer driver with 4x4 Response South East Wales

Well, it was yesterday actually. I drove my D3 for the last time , round the M25 to the other side of London, to a parking lot, prior to it going to the Ukraine. Yes, I have donated it, ( via the tfl scrappage scheme ) to assist in humanitarian aid etc. there. Whilst I was a little sad in doing this, I know that it has reached a point, where if any problems arise in the future, it will just not be worth spending any more on it. In some ways I feel that a weight has been lifted from my shoulders, a feeling that I would imagine DSL would have felt, when he relinquished his long standing Land Rover ownership Farewell my trusty D3 ( yes, it never let me down, (as in stranding me by the roadside) in all its nigh on 19 years ).

Front lower arms and tracking
I managed to replace the right lower arm this morning with no drama, just like the left one luckily. The worst bit was getting the shock bolt hole lined up, and torqueing the rear pivot bolt due to access.
I took it for alignment straight after checking everything was torqued up right and only the Toe adjustment was way out - by 23* (the steering was terrible driving the 2 miles to the garage, and the tyres were squealing at every turn)
They said the camber and castor were almost spot on, although I'm not convinced as they only had a regular garage alignment kit.
When I replace the rear lowers, I'll see about getting a Hunter alignment, although there's not one very close.Volunteer driver with 4x4 Response South East Wales

Lucky you, when I last did mine I had to cut both off as for a morning it took me a week on and off to do both.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Step backwards IMHO, with the hexagon you could leave a 1/4” drive socket on and access it with a long extension without touching the rear seats or in my case the sliding floor.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
