perfect thanks, should hopefully be able to sort it now i know what i have done wrong.

ok thanks, does that mean my oil seal is in too far too as its about 2mm into the case? Apologies if i'm being dumb here.....

Thanks for the replies. New seals and a new collar should arrive tomorrow or Thursday so will stick them on and see what happens then, most likely leaking from the gearbox if the collar isnt far enough in. Old one put up a proper fight, hopefully this one will come off ok. Any tips for...

Pulled them apart tonight, cant see what one has been leaking. :confused: Only thing was when i removed the lower bolt (next to the hole it was leaking from), loads of oil came out where the bolt was, at least a liter or so. Is that normal? I drained it before i removed it last time. Is it...

yeah put a new collar on as the old one had a little pitting, should have left them alone, seemed logical to replace them when they were out... :(

Just finished putting my gearbox and transfer box in after doing a clutch change and have a stream of oil coming out. I assume i have snagged a seal when putting them back together or something, but before i start ripping it all out again is there any plug or anything that should be in the hole...

:o:o:o:o:o Rather embarrassingly seems it was a bad earth noticed all the switches on the dash were lighting up when the pump was trying to run, sorted it out and its working properly. Flat battery now but hopefully it will run once charged....

Have just replaced the clutch in my 2000 90 taking the gearbox and transfer case out also replaced offside outrigger and did a fair bit of welding to the chassis. While i was there i also put a new fuel pressure regulator in. Reconnected the battery today and tried to start it, when first...

Doing the oil seal on the rear diff on my 2000 TD5 defender while the gearbox is out. All info i can find says there should be banjo for the breather. Mine doesn't have one, just has a red seal and a pipe sticking straight out the axel, is this normal and does it just pull out? Gave it a tug...

Would be better with the roses tin ;)

Will do if need be, was hoping there might be an off the shelf solution i could get delivered mostly out of laziness... and I don't have any 3mm plate left. Only transport is a sv650 so would save me having to borrow a car.

don't have any left been a long time since Christmas, so need some repair sections this time....

Couple of slightly clearer pictures, I cut the bit between out as it was rotten:

Applying a bit of rustproofing to my chassis today and stuck my finger through a bit of the bulkhead outrigger. Patched it about 18 months ago and it had been patched in the past so going to stick a new one on this time. Can anyone tell me if there is a panel available to replace the top...

Removing my gearbox and transfer box today, used this page (thanks BearDy89)as a guide, now have the box about 1 1/2 inch slid away from the engine, but the transfer box lever is hitting the tunnel. Will i get it out...
