Swivel
My off side swivel is leaking (4k miles) anyone else had this issue?

Going to ring the dealers this morning, was wondering if they might say that because of the 285 tyres it is not under warranty. What do you think?

38,000km and no leak there. Wish the same could be said for my transfer case, looks like the seal on the gearbox side is weeping Sad 110 2.4TDCi

Hi Justin,were have you been hiding? it doesn't take much for something to damage the wiper seal when off roading and it's covered by the warranty. Thumbs Up 2.4 90 XS

Did some offroading in spain (mostly dusty tracks) a couple of months ago, some gental green laning last month and last weekend went to Exmoor with the LRA crew but all we did was ariver crossing at Tarr Steps. The seal seams to have gone at the rear most point of the ball. Maybe a small stone/grit got in?
