Variations of oil by members for use in the transfer case so I went ahead and put mine in, feels just fine, good thing about older cars you can more or less get away with slight variations of oil compared to the high spec cars of today where the wrong grade in the engine could screw up the turbo...

It wasn't expensive being mineral based, 5 quid a litre from GSF... I change all the oils each year anyway so might as well put this in for the year. Usually I get synthetic ones! Can't see the harm in it... no one red flagging it yet lol.

Doing abit of research, VC is a sealed unit in itself so putting this oil in won't do anything for the VC, only in LSD where it's open allowing the oil in and benefits... Guess the guy didn't need to special order this! Don't think it will do any harm putting it in after all it does lubricate...

I have viscous coupling in there, is that the same as limited slip? haynes manual says 80/90 api 5 nothing about limited slip, maybe limited slip oil specific wasn't around in 1996?

Went to GSF car parts was given limited slip gear oil for my 1996 transfer box... is this oik ok?

Just had gearbox rebuilt.. costed 2300!! At least all problems are solved. !

Just checked oil level and is just above the low mark when hot. will get the oil changed and brought back up to hot level too before the next step. Cable seems in good condition. Just a slight slack. Keep u posted thanks guys.

Experiencing a problem when kick down engages from 3rd to 2nd, it over revs and not engaging or accelerating and have to back off the throttle to allow the gearbox to catch up and engage! Never did that before... Same like wise under acceleration going from 2nd to 3rd... Over revs before...

Yes I am now experiencing this same problem, when kick down engages from 3rd to 2nd, it over revs and not engaging or accelerating and have to back off the throttle to allow the gearbox to catch up and engage! Never did that before... Same like wise under acceleration going from 2nd to 3rd...

Bloooody hell slot of trouble for a leak!!

Sealed those holes like joiner an said... Instead of going down the pillar, it's coming on my head when car has been standing... See pics, green from the pool formation and the wetness staining plastic on the underside of the sunroof... It's the sunroof front edge seal in that corner being worn...

Excellent info joinerman, I been stuck with that plm for ages ie 2 yrs!! And had the windscreen replaced with new seal, it was only in this crazy weather the problem returned and now have sealed up that slot, removed the plastic piece sealed it and underside... now waiting for next downpour to...

Shoulda checked on here first! Had thought lincomb in oct! Damn!.

Yes I noticed an event in germany which sounds good. Looks like an eventful weekend and hooe everyone has fun. ;)

Have booked with www.tufftrax4x4.com for the weekend in wales greenlaning in my land cruiser, I think there are three spaces left. Anyone up for it??? Info on their tours page. Steve

Ah I missed the obvious! This site too! Heh

Milners Offroad does parts for the car u hope to have and e bay has some as well as Super poly bushes, Jon on here usually can help obtaining genuine parts and Karl.

Shame I m not gonna be able to make this one as off to the Derbyshire Peak District! Hope you all have fun and will be looking out for those pics! Hope to catch the next one thou. Let the sun shine!!

Finally had a bit sunshine this morning on an otherwise wet ground to strip down both rear brakes and get a good look, found the nearside handbrake shoe lever arm was so stiff from the built up of mud behind the rubber boot which now has been lubricated and freed up, gave the brakes a good clean...

Thanks for the Jon, seems no trouble at the moment, am waiting for fair weather to get to the hand brake shoes to check them out. Cheers

The judder rises with speed, most noticeable from 30 mph. If it was UJ the the judder would always be there??

I gave the uj and wheel bearings a total re grease in the summer as I had all the swivel joint and wheel bearings replaced with koyo ones. It only occurred the two recent occasions mentioned, both in wet conditions. I ve not thought of trying the brakes when it happens... When I was on the side...

I received some juddering from engine and drive after I went thru some puddles and wonder where the weak spots are on the electrics to try and cure it, it did cure by itself after five mins. This was over x mas, then yesterday just driving along wet roads, stopped the car for a minute then off I...

I ve often thought about this replacing the auto with a manual box as I ve done a total switch on a Volvo I used to have with success,, there was some mention on another forum that its possible to put in a 3.0 hilux engine/box in!!, but a lot of work, other options to save on mpg possibly to...

Of course Chris would be relaxed, he came out the other side in one piece where some of us would not dare to go heh!

Great pics Marius, do u think u can send me those of my dark green lc reg p9 jgr with the rod on the bonnet to [email protected] if u don't mind. Thanks Steve

Fantastic pics there.

Hi tone, it's was a great event and having the scouts made it all better, why not have a cruiser tug of war competition, taking up the slack and go, any jerking by a driver is disqualified. Probably would need an area u don't mind tearing up the ground!!, can scouts provide soft drinks as well...

Heh yeah I spoke to Chris just before his cool climb, he said I ll give it a go with a cigar all lit and just off he went!

Take a look at this video on YouTube:<br/><br/>http://youtu.be/EBqBBf7aDBM

I wanna say thanks to all you guys at this meet, I had a fun day and being winched out of the bog heh and making new friends, you have made me very welcomed and a part of you all. Looking forward to the next meet or any green laning!! Have learned a lot from you guys, and working on a shopping...

Looking forward to tomorrow!! Finally after constantly sneaking a look on my phone all the notifications popping up with lincomb on them all at work heh. Gonna be good.

Looking to have two hog roasts and two, poss three breakies for sat and may bring my boy along, he coming up 16 and get him into lancruisers for 17!!

Nice to see some winches on hand! Hoping it won't come to needing a pull out!! Putting some faith in the triple lockers but my tyres are nowhere near as meaty as the ones on that land rover in the puddle!!!!! Ah we'll that's another thing, we'll see and look forward to sat. Roll on.

Yes I removed mine, it's bolted from the underside but you need to remove each end plastic bumpers so more bolts there before u can remove the alloy step.

Hi, my phone been burning with notifications with regards to lincomb and have done my form and payment so I will look forward to seeing all the hype which should be fun. Be there sat, am a newbie to most of u guys!!

@chris yes I agree there with what you said about it, it probably not good enough if it were to be used frequently like in a workshop but it served me well doing all the rubber bushes, like Chris says it has on a couple of occasion not pushed straight and had to reset it in the correct position...

my press is 15t new from e bay not long ago, good one too and i think i paid 120 which included the postage. check on e bay.

i just done all of the wheel bearings and swivel bearings on the front of my VX 80 using an steel rod and heavy hammer and it all was replaced without a hitch, there were some groove channels in which to place the steel rod for bearing access and tap away each side at a time for even removal. i...

[attachment=0:qdlid1ts]photo.JPG5.JPG[/attachment:qdlid1ts]i bought a new rear diff lock as my one wasnt engaging at best of times and had to tap it a few times to get it to engage, no way i was gonna dive into mud to tap away to engage so got a new one, fitted it, much better. i had trouble...
