Makes me wonder if people can use a torque wrench. I've just changed the oil on my Freelander's IRD (transfer box) would you believe the drain plug was wound up to well over 100 ft yet the filler plug was finger tight. This i one of many torque errors I found including a random selection of head bolt torques too. The car has always been to the same main stealer for all its work, you'd think they would know better?
