Anti slip device

It's gibberish like most of the other wording in the manual. It seems the whole idea of this is to make it vague enough as to be interpreted to suit whichever situation the shiny ar5es need to extract themselves from.

Exactly! If you have been reading all the explanations over the years you might have a idea wtf they are on about, but a newbie hasn't got much of a chance.

What happened to 'clear and concise' ?

You're not wrong Carolvk 

I just read the MTS rfr's and select what seems the most reasonble to the circumstances at the time. Its rare I look in the manual and maybe only look when doing the training to see what else has moved backwards in time. 

And more......

When you (lucky Landrover testers) look to fail a swivel joint, all seems fine until you proceed when MTS converts it into a fcuking stub axle.
I kid you not. In my book, a stub axle and a swivel joint are not the same thing. Are they?

With that logic, I should be able see their 'stub axle' RFR's quoting swivel joints shouldn't I? Bonkers!

ever stripped/rebuilt an xj back end?you aint never seen so many bushes/bearings in all your natural!dont even get me started on the lockwires....for those of you that remember the diff seals crapping emselves all over the discs i once changed all the above plus handbrake/footbrake caliper rebuilds + a factory exchange diff to stop the leaks at the punters request.i had informed him not to bother as a genuine jag diff would in all likelihood come complete with a genuine jag oil leak and he would be back where he started within a year or two but the senile old idjit insisted.wanna take a guess at what i failed it on the following year?  and yeah i made sure it had a working breather first......given the oil plug was inaccesible on the damn things i always wondered how they ever got enuff oil in em to leak in the first place!

I'd probably need to double check the MTS notices we had over the years, but I vaguely remember DVSA saying something about ALL lamps (Euro) should be no lower than 2.75%. Books change like the weather but I don't recall ever been advised about further changes!!
