Clutch fluid can be the other suspect (slave cylinder). If the inside of the bell housing wasn't cleaned it mixes and looks like engine oil when it comes out.

Hi Ben. Sounds more related to the other work you did on the fuel system. Pumas need a specific fuel bleeding tool for the job. Did you use this? See here http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic516.html

I was intrigued by this. Looks like the horn is fed from fuse 2 through the horn switch or fuse 10 from the alarm. Fuse 2 doesn't show in the electric library that it includes the horn, but in the owners manual it does. The A134 splice then sends whichever positive to the horn.
Red arrows to show positive flow:

The wires in that photo are in the factory location. There are 2 suppressors and they wire in a cross pattern.
The white/slate wire spade connector to the W terminal connects to the EGR ECU. You can remove that if you have removed your EGR.

I can hardly ever find a multi-storey that fits a Defender's height anyway

I would have assumed that the car park would be partly liable but you learn something new. So 1300 personal claims for loss due to fire...
It appears sprinklers aren't believed to work well enough in car parks due to petrol:

Remove a propshaft and drive it in diff lock. If the noise doesn't go then run it with just the other prop. Check the UJs for play whilst they're off.
This will tell you if it's front or back axle, or not

It's not uncommon for the rear crank oil seal to be fitted such that the new one leaks worse than the old one. Get the garage to check that this hasn't happened before removing the engine.
The T-seals may be possible whilst on the vehicle but not ideal, as one end of the crankshaft would be cantilevered. The way to do it properly is to remove the engine and flip it over.

Yes came from the EU. Started in 2016 but businesses have 2 years to get compliant. It's meant to give more control to users over their data, seeing as the current law is from the 90's when companies like Google and Facebook, etc. didn't exist.
For a business, it pretty much means you can't do anything without a user's consent. Like you couldn't email an ex-customer, because you shouldn't be holding their email address after they're not a customer (unless they'd given their consent). Consent will have to be explicitly given, rather than being implied or by having to opt out by default.

Came across this really good video for reference

It was GDPR that killed it off. Bauer media didn't want to have to go through the process so just culled all their forums. I imagine there'll be other businesses in the next year that can't be arsed with it and will just turn off bits of websites.

To be honest I don't think there is a problem at all - teething or otherwise... The thing displaces upwards of 70,000 tonnes and leaks 200 litres per hour? I can pee faster than that!
In fact its the ridiculousness of the story that first attracted my attention - that and the chance of some cheap toilet humour
I saw this 10 mins after I saw the article, so I was in rage mode
I always loved that each Defender leaving the factory had a leak test...
...just to make sure they leaked (joke from the factory tour)

Yeah this kinda of media fluff really grinds my gears, to be honest most "news" these days does my head in to the point where I quite happily live in ignorance and read up on the news and topics I want to when I want to. grrrr
To summarise the articles:
"Brand new, complex machine has slight teething problem"

I hate this **** put out by the media

They should be able to find a blank that matches the real key. I would test the key works before paying, as they aren't always good copies.

How fast? That must have been scary. At least the one I hit went under the wheels and turned into a cloud of feathers in the wing mirror.

Troubleshooting for stiff steering (300Tdi)
Did you centralise the box? I would start from first principles, disconnecting everything and not trusting that the drag link and steering wheel point to it being centralised

Looking at companies house they made a good profit each year (£253k last year) but barely got through with enough cash. 2 years in the last 4 with less than £130 to their name! A few late paying contracts may have finished them off, shame.

Collapsed wheel bearing??
Andy
I had this at 65mph. Felt like being shoved in the back. Hard to detect when stationary without jacking up each wheel

You're correct. From the manual:
