Before fretting that you've bombed your front axle, always ensure that a large dog hasn't engaged difflock on your behalf.

 :oops:  :oops:

It does. So I suppose looking at the dash occasionally would be a good idea.

Didn't get up to that sort of speed on the road. That was on stage after the puddle incident. Contrary to what Land Rover say, you can change into high box at that speed :lol:

Don't forget to put the drain plug back in before refilling with oil !

On the same vain, try not to get all the oil up your sleeve when removing plug

Also

Dropping the plug in the waste oil is not the best thing to do

Also

Undo the filler plug before the drain plug (Sorry Ed didn't see your one on that)

If you've got a faulty fuel gauge on a 3.5 V8 range rover called "HANG OVER" don't try and do 150 mile cos it runs out at 130.
Oh well you live and learn :)
