R380 rebuild

daddy2coull · Jul 21, 2013

I'm considering rebuilding my R380 gearbox. I have various pulling tools and a press at home. Is it possible without the use of the proper tools? I've tried a search, but its a nightmare on a phone. Any links to a how to would be great

You need to speak to James Martin. He knows all about it and I'm sure would be happy to help.

I have just bought the overhaul Manuals for engine gearbox and transfer box for 300tdi with R380 and LT 230T fitted Every stage is covered step by step.

Best £20 I've ever spent.

Cos then ya have to buy a printer to print it out and ink cartridges etc. or ya have to have a pooter in the workshop to constantly refer to. which is gonna get covered in ****e And if ya don't have leccy will probably have the battery die before ya get the engine out let alone start on the rebuild.. Paper Manual is much simpler and les hassle and as they've been perfectly fine and usable Since the Egyptians invented Papyrus. I see no reason to abandon the Principle in favour of a PDF file.

Hee Hee I like that answer.
I agree with most of it. Except the printer bit. Ialready have one so just print as and when.
But like you and cd's - it's always nice to have the original!!!
Nice one
