That's what I thought, but this stuff is gold (the bag split)

I've got some 15w 40 Semi Synthetic and some 10 40 synthetic

Need to do a 2 hour drive in my 300tdi tomorrow, leaving the house at 8:00am. This evening have unexpectedly had to replace the oil seal on the rear transfer box output shaft. Looks like quite a lot of fluid has been lost (all over the chassis and when replacing the seal). Tomorrow is Sunday so...

I've fitted a toad in mine, welcome to PM me

I got a cheap Chinese 52" off eBay. About £60. Wasn't expecting much but am incredibly impressed with it.

Having a hard time removing a snapped stud for the speedo cable. Looking at this picture, what's the process for removing and refitting this part of the transfer box (highlighted in red)?

Took the handbrake drum off to drill out a snapped stud for the speedo cable, and noticed these two wires hanging. Anybody know what they're for/where they go? One black, and one red and grey(white?) by the look of it.

That's correct

I was cleaning out the injectors on my 300tdi today and one of the small brass(?) washers/spacers pinged off and disappeared into the ether somewhere. Does anybody have a spare or know where I can get one? Haven't been able to find a part number and I don't want to fork out for a whole injector.
