Did you replace the o-ring? Mine did not come with an oil cooler(03) and the plugs were leaking. I installed a new oil cooler found on eBay and the new lines had 0-rings on them. That was the only leak i had, now it is gone.

Yes, thanks, the o-ring was replaced. When it leaked, I knew the problem was buggered up threads. I disassembled it and replaced the provided o-ring with one slightly fatter hoping that would work. It didn't. I'm hoping a thread chaser will straighten things out enough to work, otherwise I'll have to think harder. Hate when a simple thing turns into a nasty problem.

 

Story of my life.

 

When I did the oil cooler lines on my truck, the new o-rings cracked when I was tightening the lines. Swapped them out for some o-rings from an o-ring kit and it's been fine since.

 

Driving home from work at 11PM, the heater fan quit working. temps outside were just below 0, and I made it home but I was a bit cold to say the least. Yesterday I pulled the control apart and found the fan switch had melted and is beyond repair. I used a couple of jumper wires to make it blow full blast for now. Had to change to larger wires as the ones I first used got a bit warm (not melted, just warm) Temp outside should be up to around 10 degrees today.... Anyone got an extra switch laying around??

 

I'm a damn Land Rover mechanic. Got both sides done. New seals, gaskets, bearings, oil and grease for the front hubs and swivels. This job wasn't that hard. Just a bit hard on my back. I had my brother help me.
Both sides move so smooth now. Just tie rod ends to snap back and done.

 

With temps this morning above 30 degrees, (and a 17 mph wind) I was out in the snowbanks installing a new (to me) fan switch. I am getting faster at taking apart the center console, which worries me a bit, but switch is in and works great! now on to the other bazillion things to get working on my truck...

 

I cut the back of the rear wheel wells to clear my new rubber. Also installed a new (to me) headlight on the passenger side. Had to get creative straightening out the core support to line up the headlight mounts. That winch on front comes in handy

 

Replaced the four tie rod ends and the steering dampener bushings.

 

I cleaned my MAF and replaced the air filter. The Rover's throttle response had been hesitating when cold lately but was fine after it warmed up a bit. I was searching for some troubleshooting tips based on the behavior, and came across my own post from > 5 years ago. LOL

The light bulb then went on in my head! It seemed like I had just cleaned the MAF, but nope. So all is good again and throttle response is great.
