Looks like a really good substitue and if he does pull it off I suspect they will sell like hotcakes, but as he hasn't logged in since 1st-March-2014 I won't be holding my breath. Mick

If you have one, try pressurising the system with a modified cap and valve, you should be able to have a good poke and prod without burning yourself. Also, if it is an air lock, run the engine with expansion cap off, temp and fans set to max and burp the top hose, that should hopefully encourage...

Try Pheonix 4x4 in Wombourne 01902 892 908, Jim's the main guy there and knows his stuff, he's done a few bits and bobs on mine. mick

Don't forget diff oil, auto box oil and filter and transfer box oil. These often get overlooked and forgotton about.

Merry christmas everyone! Thought I'd resurrect this thread rather than creat a new one. Still haven't got around to swapping the boxes over yet but wanted to double check the oil seals to replace, these are the ones I've come up with so far: Oil Seal Transfer Box Output Handbrake (Britpart)...

It looks ok if you have a proper transmission jack, 5/6 bolts connect it to the gearbox, it weighs an absolute ton. If you don't then it could be a right pig. I would suggest draining the oil whilst it's in situ. I need to get around to doing mine but need to get a jack first.

As has been said with reguard to lights on the dash. The ABS being on is an instant fail (this happened to me and a simple reset got rid of it). Could an ABS reluctor ring gone? As for the donk donk noise, from the rough location you've given I would suspect the moorse chain inside your...

Have you checked the brake fluid condition/level? mick

I didn't have any codes for mine (aftermaket but no EKA code either), went to a dealer with the V5 and she gave everything to me FOC, saves messing around with electrics, especially if it has the hi-line harmon kardon system fitted. mick

I've just picked it up and doesn't look in too bad condition. They guy said he's recently changed the oil before it was taken off but yes Keith, will definately change it again anyway, after what happend to the previous one I'm not taking any chances! I think I'm going to have to invest in...

That looks like a whole new world of trouble, they were bad enough straight out of the factory let alone being re-built! mick

Evening guys and gals, Some of you may remember my transfer box decided to take early retirement last month and after a bit a patience and ferreting around, I've got a replacement. Now for the questions :D The one I've bought was from a 2002 4.0 and after some reading up I think it should be a...

I've been too scared to fill mine from empty :biggrin1: It'll be even more drpressing to watch the gague rapidly go back down! Mick

Thanks for the adivice guys. It was definately coming from the t/box as the noise faded the closer I got to the main gearbox and engine. Keith, I think your right, found fresh oil on the casing and as the previous owner was a complete muppet when it came basic maintainence (the current one also...

Looks tidy for the year and mileage but why aren't there any photo's of the interior? As you say, the led strips and badges will have to come off and the sport side vents look nasty, you could always colour code them so they don't stick out. You can replace those crappy rear lights with...

UPDATE: Well, spent most the day trying to figure this one out. Had a look at the prop shafts and nothing untoward there, everything still in one piece and no movement of any kind. Tried it in drive without the handbrake on (mom was at the helm) and the prop shaft weren't turning, also tried...

thanks keith and martin, in that case would it be better to jack up one side on each axel? mick

Cheers tomcat, I thought tc was traction control :D I'll have a good look tomorrow and with the assistance of the mothership, see if the prop shafts turn. If they don't then I hazard a guess that it points to the transfere or gearbox? mick

Keith, your a star! Is there a dipstick for it?Just been looking on rave and can't see one. Is there a way of checking to see if the morse chain has snapped without taking it off? Or a way of eliminating the gearbox and diff? thanks for your continued help mick

Data, I was under the impression the the main gearbox oil also fed into the transfere box? How would I check it? thanks mick
