Stephan,
The same happens in my 110 2007 after 36.000 km. I'm not sure about what can cause the seal failure but I will keep an eye on it. I had a prevoius leakage in the handbrake drum at 10.000 km. I dont know if have some relation. Regards Eduardo MY 2007 110 SW PUMA 2.4: Big Fog of 64' MY 1994 Jayco 1207 Folding camper: "El Tremendo" Click image to enlarge |

I had the same but was told it was the T,C spline shaft washer made of felt type material that was incorrectly fitted.
Not sure what they were on about but it sorted the leak. Puma 110 - gone Series III 1973 - going strong |

All,
Had Meiring back from the dealer on thursday evening and it was the rear transfer case seal again. Now it i twice in 15000 km and 6 months vehicle. will see teh future, just carry a lot of transfer case oil to top it in case of now.

Mine went on the way back from the Alps last year. Gear/transfer box felt like it was over heating and you could not touch the metal part of the handbrake lever as it was too hot. New seal fitted and reported over heating to land rover who did all and said there was no evidence.

just for interest sake - on my series III I have fitted a temp gauge (capillary type) to my t.case to keep an eye on the temp.
It is just against the casing at the moment but would like later to fit into the oil itself. It gets to about 80'C on hot days especially up steep inclines. Love to watch all my gauges while driving - gives me something to do at 80km/h max speed Puma 110 - gone Series III 1973 - going strong |

Gent,
Thanks. I was thinking to install a gauge and possibly look at may be a small oil cooler for the oil of the tansfert case. However so far the heat is only disconfort and force me to stop more often to let the vehicle cool down. Also just for experiment, i do not park the car with the hand brake on any more and we will see if the seals survive longer.
