The FSM stipulates filling the turbo oil pipe with 20ml of oil prior to reinstallation of the turbo so a negligable amount really.

According to Owners Manual specs it takes 1.5L to raise the oil from the lower mark to the upper level mark on the dipstick. Oil change volumes are 9.7L with a filter change and 8.4 without. At a guess I'd say a refill of a "dry" newly rebuilt engine could add another litre. Turbo is water...

No chance of that, it would pour out of the bell housing surely?

I roughened up one side of my dipstick with emery paper which holds oil and shows the level more clearly. .

All the survey does is state the law as it currently stands and asks for opinions on wether any parts of it need updating. As the video says, the danger is in what sort of responses they get and from whom. A big response from the Eco mob, be it from individuals or their "organisations" could be...

If there is water in the diff, the first thing out of the drain plug hole should be water, or possibly an emulsified oil/water mix. If it's clean oil then I think you can safely assume there's no water in there.

If water has got into the diff casing and enough to raise the oil level enough to throw it out of the breather, the diff will wear rapidly. I hope that's not the case. An immediate drain, inspection and flush/refill is imperative.

The top one is battery discharge warning, ie, the battery isn't being charged by the alternator. A simple cause of this is broken or no alternator drive belts along with more serious problems of course. The bottom light is clogged air filter warning. Don't you have an Owner's Manual?

They just pull out. There should be a removal tool clipped to the underside of the fusebox lid, mine disappeared years ago. The W/R wire goes to the ign switch.

I dropped on this website for some reason, read point No.3 regarding diesel sales and thought "flippineck!". After I'd posted I realised it was just a proposal from a Policy Forum member! Labour Policy Forum

The squeek or "chirp" at idle from the clutch release arm reappeared this week so got underneath to lube the release arm pivot. Should be OK another several thousand miles.:thumbup:

That's an OEM 80 series breather, I had one on mine until I extended it. You need a two way valve on the breathers that pass air but block water, not a one way or pressure buildup in the axle/gearbox casing can force oil past seals.
