My 3 amigos are on again.... In order to determine which wheel is at fault (in the absence of hawkeye) I presume if I do the following... Jack up one wheel at a time. Put it in first and gently let clutch out. The jacked up wheel will start spinning and register a speed reading on the...

Sounds like your watts linkage bushes are shot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUICrGy7J_Y

This is the gearbox oil now not the transfer box. It should be mtf94, and there wasnt really any smell off it.

Did a clutch and flywheel about 2 years ago, so about 24 months its been in there.

So i opened the gearbox fill screw to check the level. A small stream of gearbox oil came out... It wasn't the colour I was expecting :mad::mad: I didn't drop the rest of the oil out of the drain plug yet as i couldn't find my 32mm spanner. At least the gearbox wasn't empty of...

Will do, avrio

Yeah I got that from previous threads alright. Is there any point in changing my gearbox oil at this stage, surely it will all flow into the transfer box. The only other thing I've been thinking, I got stuck in a swamp/river few months back and had to leave it stuck there overnight. The water...

Would it be fair to say so that my when I check my gearbox oil level there will be next to nothing in there.. A simple fluid change turns into a nightmare!

It's a manual. I didn't think it was possible for gearbox oil to get passed the bell housing etc into the transfer box...

Decided to change my transfer box oil... Undid the fill plug as you do first, expected maybe a trickle of oil to come out. 3 litres of oil poured out the fill plug, yes the fill plug, the one behind the handbrake cable that's a #### to get to. I had a container in place in case a few...

I recently changed by header tank cap and it solved all my cooling issues. Stopped leaks, stopped the coolant disappearing then reappearing when i opened the cap, stopped the pipes bulging and staying like that even when the engine cooled down. It has a pressure release system on it and my old...

Good idea, its a td5. Theres no oil in the coolant anyway when i drained it it was bright orange, looked like the day i put it in.

Weird one. Just did a coolant flush because I had a good few drips from a good few hoses and suspected I was low on coolant. re positioned some circlips to hopefully stop the leaks. Filled the system correctly, raised header tank etc, poured slowly I filled the system correctly until...

Quick question I have been offered a front prop in mint condition off a 2001 td5 auto. Will this fit on my 2001 td5 manual? Only saw a picture but it sure looks the same.

Thanks will check it out. :clap2:
