Mate, you've become an Aussie, just put a bit more effort in and google a bit further! It is possibly just a spring that needs replacing that closed (or opens?) the cooler valve. Looks like the spring can't be purchased individually and you...

Ah, the satisfaction of a 'project' :cool: That and an excuse to drink lots of coffee.

What has @MGT got to do with anything? Sorry, I've obviously missed something by ignoring the thread.

Do you just get frustrated with them all, and throw the odd one away, and hope it didn't do anything :D

I wouldn't have thought an oil analysis could tell you which gears or bearings are failing. If you can get the bearings replaced in the pinion for £100 It may be worth doing rather than the expense, and trouble, of removing the IRD and getting a...

Those old ICEs eh. All those moving parts, valves, chains, belts, shafts, pumps and the cranks, pistons, con rods etc. All replaced by a simple electric motor with 1 twirly bit. They are so much simpler :rolleyes: I wouldn't know where to...

Dunno, nobody responded with their thoughts. There are a few ways the IRD can be damaged - eg the RH drive shaft taking out its support bearing causing the diff to jam. However, I'm confident most instances of IRD damage are due to wear in the...

Confirmation of my above post, symptomatic of members' lightweight sense of responsibility toward this thread.

It would be best for the optimal ignoring, however, I keep it there to ensure others are ignoring including myself! Doh!

OK then, I suppose we'll just have to Carry On Ignoring
