FYI- Oil dipstick screw
Just a quick FYI about the D2 oil dipstick screw. Mine fell out recently and the oil tube was flopping around wildly.
After unsuccessfully scouring the web in search of the screw type / size, I called several LR dealers hoping they'd be kind enough to provide such a simple bit of information. Two refused but offered to service my vehicle and one gave me the (wrong) information.
Apparently the dealer book points to a 8.5mm x 3/8 self tapping screw (it's not).
So here it is... 10mm x 3/8 machine screw.

I remember taking that screw out.
First -
It has a phillips size which is larger than usual. Maybe a #3 or #4?
And
It is a self taping screw.
not machine threads.
Call Rimmer Bros on Skype and I bet they have a few
