Superb! Thanks :) Transfer box next weekend!

RAVE said so... :(

Hi All! I decided to crack on with my gearbox oil change today... after my disapointment last time of realising my torx set only went up to T50.. Anyways, the old oil was proper golden brown - and it had one of those magnetic sump caps, with a lovely amount of filings on... I expected it to be...

Okay well I'll definitely get one of those, then just gotta worry about how to fit it on... I got a compressor from Machine Mart before, I'll sign up to those E-Mails! I'd love to learn to weld, just need to get the funds together first! Thanks for all your help Ian!

Ian, thanks again! I've found the bulkhead from that sellers own website: http://shop.classicbulkheads.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=62_67&product_id=120 It looks pretty good to me! At the moment I don't know much about welding but I'll get reading and on YouTube and that should...

Thanks for getting back to us Ian, I don't have access to wielder, so I'll have to buy one! Is that something similar to this: http://www.yrm-metal-solutions.co.uk/epages/BT4822.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/BT4822/Products/005B

The bottom looks OK, but not great... the bolt heads are rusted and there is a few mm of rust where the piece right under the pedals joins onto the floor...

Hi Ian, Firstly, can I weld, no. - well not yet anyway! I would be happy to give it a go though - what's the best was to practice / learn? I've had the rear cover off completely, but not the bottom part - I shall do this, (Now that it's light as I get home from work I'll be able to get s**t done!)

Hello! Does anyone have any suggestions following the pictures above? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the replied chaps! I did a bit more investigating today, and found the attached... included is a picture from the bay into the footwells. As said by a few people - it goes further than first appears.. :confused: I took the speaker out, and noticed the back of that was a little wet...

Good shout! :cool:

Cheers - I'll further investigate when I get a chance! Also - this: http://www.yrm-metal-solutions.co.uk/epages/BT4822.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/BT4822/Products/005B Makes it look like a more manageable job for someone such as myself!

I've already had the wet foot ahha! - Not quite the answers I wanted to read in here, but I appreciate your time and honesty guys! As a ballpark figure, if I turned up at Mr Smiths garage / bodyshop, what would it cost me to have it sorted? MOT is August time - can I assume it was missed at...

Hi all - I've found a spot of rust above the pedals, that has caused a small hole. Not I n ow it's not tooooo bad, but I want to act sooner rather than later. I have no experience wielding, but know how to use a wire brush and paint, will that suffice for this? Tips and advice most welcome...

Ahha that would certainly make sense! Thanks!

I jacked it up and put the rear on axle stands in the end, made most sense! Also couldn't change the gearbox oil as I didn't have a T55 bit ! Next weekend! Also, I came across this (see picture) it does kind of look like there should be something in there!! Can anyone make sense of this? Thanks

Haaha thanks for all the suggestions! I think I'll start with the breeze blocks and see how I get on!

Hi, I've purchased a range of oils with the intention of doing engine, diffs, transfer and gearbox oils. Now I Iive on a slight incline, so previously when I've been doing engine oil changes I've parked so the sump plug is lowest, the driven to a flat road after just to double check oil...

Thanks Paul, actually that'll be really quite useful as I was looking where to get sources from for a 12v power supply in the cubby box I'm putting in today... Now if only there was someone who sold these... Hmmm... :)

It's the aircon harness!
