Right. Got a problem. I think.

Lots of play on the front prop but this is while the hand break is on so can't compare with the rear prop. (I shall compare when it's light tomz!).

Also getting a one of thud or knock as I go into corners are put in gear and out foot down. Or come of the accelerator suddenly. Is this something I should be worrying about/am I being paranoid. Plus anyone know what might be causing it? I'm guessing the spline is worn out (or what ever the cog bit on the end of the prop is called)

A frame ball joint at a guess

Trying to work out this Haynes manual thing.

Anyone know how to find out how much oil I need for a service. Going to change ALL of the oil, engine, gearbox, axles and anywhere else which has the stuff.

Flaming thing doesn't have a proper index

if you get 10 litres for engine and 5 litres for gear box and 10 for axles t/box etc you will have some left over and its cheaper in 5 litres from motor factors

Each axle takes about 1.5 litres. Swivels are about 0.5 litres each. Engine oil is 6 litres. Gearbox is 2.5 litres. Can't mind the transfer box off top of my head but if you've bought enough EP90 just fill it till it pours back out.
