yup - its `townie syndrome'. diff-lock and high/low need using regularly or experience of members reporting here is that they tend to seize. Funnily enough when i connected my difflock linkage up recently to a 10 year old TD5 I was half expecting it to be seized, but it wasnt - free as you like...

The `official' gearbox oil renewal period for the R380 is 24,000 miles or 2 years (which ever comes first). However, its always better to renew more frequently. - You'll need a 22mm ring spanner for the drain plug and a Torx 55 bit for the filler plug.

Will it ever be that clean again?

I've checked the serial number underneath on the transfer box before ordering the linkage. I must say that its now fitted and the mechanism is high quality, fit for purpose and went on like a dream.

A number of other possibles - the likelies are: Worn clutch release bearing Worn clutch plate bushes Faulty pressure plate assembly Broken pressure pllate diaphram spring Broken clutch disc cushioning spring. Hope this helps

The proceedure is exactly as sierrafery says, except I managed to fit mine without bleeding the ACE system. I clamped the hoses from the pump before removal. This limited the amount of air in the system. The ACE system will handle a degree of `self bleed' (eg when fitting ACE filter) and it...
