Hi All,
Took the new landy on a trip to wales this weekend, 320 miles covered, no problems.... BUT, it gets bloomin warm in the cab - it seems that the gap where the middle seat goes is getting increadably hot. I thought it was the gear box at first, but the gear stick only gets mildly warm... The ally in between the seats gets almost too hot to touch!
So, Now we're back I thought I'd have a look underneath and see if I could identify the reason. I'm not sure if it's connected, but a "box" appears to be leaking oil onto the exhaust. Am I right in thinking that it's the transfer box? Could this leak be causing something to run dry, and therefore get hot?
Can this be fixed!?!
Here's some pics of the underneath:
and then off topic slightly, but incase they're relevent:
a pis of what I think is the hydro fluid reservoir for the winch... under the drivers seat:
And then a picture of the gear box, because I'm suspicious about the hole underneath it. I'd sort of assumed that it must be a sump plug hole (it's threaded) and that the oil much have all come out. According to a garage, it's just a drain hole for if the gear box oil leaks into that side... does that sound right?
Thank you all very much in advance, Hopefully the news wont be too bad.
