I've been doing a spot of servicing. Changed the engine oil after a bit of a strugle with a well rounded sump plug. But fortunately it responded to the James Martin manouevre of hammering a socket onto it. Changed various filters, including oil fuel and air, and then tried to change the oil in the transmission. The axles and transfer box yielded their contents fairly easily, but I failed to get the drain plug out of the main gearbox. No sign of a nice 32mm hex - it has an odd sized recess in it, filled with rust and a crusty cement type material. I think it may be what these guys have R380 gearbox drain plug so I shall try to chisel a bit more of the crud out of it and force a 3/8" square in tomorrow when it gets light.
