Dropping fluids

[M35A2]

Right as it's nice and sunny and not very windy, I'm going to drop my gearbox, transfer box, front and rear diffs, and power steering fluids and replace with fresh oil.

Should take until mid afternoon I reckon. I might do my fuel filter too.

What servicing is everyone else doing today???

i replaced my top fuel pump seals yesterday, well started Wednesday and just adjusted the pump yesterday. a word of advice if your new to fixing your cars, like me, and have a non EFI beast give it to someone else to do!! Its not easy.

But its still not really drivable as i noticed that the pipe on the outflow of the turbo (dipstick end) has a hole on it and as soon as the turbo is up to pressure it blows oil every where!

The only fluid dropping around here is the stuff which falls from the sky.

Lawnmower out lawnmower in, in out all day long. I haven't got to pulling the start cord yet.

I think I will head for the den and sample some refreshing fluids.

You managed to get a seal kit for your pump? Wasn't plumb bob looking for one of those, or did he have further pump problems to boot?

Well that went OK. I did the main, transfer gearboxes, front and rear diffs, power steering fluids and the diesel filter.

I really do need to get the same diameter hose for the power steering out pipe so that I can put it into my oil drain tub. Did the usual, removed the out hose from the tank, jammed a funnel into it and got my mate to start the engine while I pored fresh oil into the funnel until the whole system was flushed through with new oil. Trouble is the oil pis*es everywhere. It left a right mess that i had to clean up.

The transfer box oil was cloudy for some reason. Either it was because I just went out in it before draining it and there was lots of micro bubbles of air in it, or it had water in it. This might have happened from getting the jet wash too close to the seals. I will see what it's like in a few months.

Anyhow, it goes like the wind now with a fresh diesel filter and new fluids in...
