cheers, nice link :D i'll wait for the bandit to take a gawp. :)

heard of the cross drilled shaft recall, but unsure of what it exactly was. linky please, as I don't believe this is cross drilled. :D

well, what a firkin palaver :scratching_chin: after yesterdays half successfulness of removing the collar, extension housing and 5th gear synchro from the mainshaft and layshaft, today was time for lifting the sandwich plate for gasket renewal. after removing the nut from reverse idler...

edited. most things can be fixed, the rest is usually operator error.

comedy :rofl: wondered who'd comment on that :D pictures later as I've left the phone cam on the bench :rolleyes: boxes cleaned, drained, filter removed (didn't know they had one, full of cak it was) mainbox output shaft collar removed after making some extenders for the bearing puller...

comedy shot of a storm trooper with uv burnt knees :D always wear proper welding attire folks :eek::rofl:

ok, it happened. mainbox is chucking atf out from gasket next to lower mounting holes. also of concern is the amount of wear in the transfer box input splines. after removing both boxes from what looks like the bottom of the okyfanoke swamp, a jetwash will follow tomorrow and we'll see...

you bin spying :eek: def lt77 dexronII leak, thought it was output seal, turns out its a gasket on main box, after removing transfer box. and sue's shock absorber. again. 2 mouthfuls of Guinness now, and a call out to a smoking fusebox. never ends :scratching_chin: back soon......

wanna spoon:rolleyes::suspicious: :D:flame::fighting2::bounce:

would need to confirm any workshop requirements with john, he has a series in that he's trying to get an mot on before the weekends out.

:D:cool:

probably in a roundabout way that will take 2.25 hours:rolleyes:

who's filming it :confused:

wtf? :suspicious:

don't forget plenty of pics :bounce: have a good trip ;)

door skin edges usually gets unfolded to form a 90 degree bend rather than the 180 degree, but only where the frame needs replacing. frame then cut carefully as not to damage the outer skin. frame will usually be stuck to outer skin with sikaflex or the like, may need warming then carefully...

ya did let him know this, didnt ya? :eek:

what she's failed to mention, is that it aint overheating, just the gauge is reading high. did suggest rotating the gauge so the needle points vertical and tippex'ing a new bit of white onto it :D sender swap, if that don't cure the (HIGH INDICATED READING SUE) then investigate for dodgy dash...

red oxide;) :D
