when you say oval one you mean the one in the bumper?

Its a pain being the 3.0 ltr....going rate for the 2.7 box is only 500-600. Sorry its such a PITA....good luck!

Don't woe-rry....at least you'll be laughing at the end of it! LOL :lol:thumb2

....and a bit of low range.....:kissy

LOL! Well might have to take a trip down soon with my new (old) Passat.....seems it might even manage Calias to Sere Rustaing on one tank if I'm careful.....sadly I'm not!:lol

I'm not aware you can haver too much oil in a gearbox, unlike an engine. Some people even jack it up one side so they can overfill it......and like you, I thought the filler plug was the level effectively.

Well, so much for planning. I basically ignored ALL the options and ended up paying £3500 for a mint previous-model 55-plate Passat estate (so not the later one with the allegedly unreliable piezo injectors) with 67,000 on the clock - one owner from new (a retired architect friend of mine) and...

Well I can't pretenhd to be an expert - even though I do LOL - but I don't think the old Terrano knows a carrot from a soya bean :lol:lol

Twice in a week he's right.....:doh:doh:doh Removing the rear ARB will give you a lot more articulation, keeping both wheels on the ground, although I would have thought that would just exacerbate he issue of th4e rear end breaking away?? But if Makeitfit starts trying to persuade you to take...

Timbo knows his stuff, so without an LSD you DON'T want LSD oil. Its sounds a bit whacky but ordinary diff oil is actually too slippery for an LSD, which needs a bit of friction for the clutch plates to operate. But sounds worth checking that they have put the correct stuff in.....might be too...

SAY WHAT??? Something slightly amiss there........the gearing on the Terrano against indicated speedo is such that in top gear, the AUTOMATIC does 30mph per 1000rpm, while the MANUAL does about around 30mph per 1250rpm. SO at 3500rpm, in a manual, you should be nudging an indicated 90mph...

Get a couple of litres of LSD fluid as well while your at it....:thumb2

I'm buggered! I've yet to meet him in person because i'm always zipping past Cahors at 3am (overmnight driving avoids the radar guns LOL)......but one of these days. Very nice chap.

Note I said 'person' LOL! :augie

Hahaha.....it IS eboy in disguise! Welcome back mate! :thumb2

The GM modified thing is irrelevant, its still vegetable/plant oil isn't it and pretty much anything of that ilk burns in this motor.

Sounds great....I think I've walked part of that valley with my french neighbour when he dragged me out at 4am one morning so we could get up to the highest accessible bit of the Pic du Midi and back before it got too hot. He was 70 at the time, but it was only when we got going that he...

but thats still the equivalent of a ten-stone person stood on a 2-foot lever isn't it?.....

well i've got a couple of door speakers - are yours shot or something? - and a Nissan (Blaupunkt) CD/radio with security code....but not sure how you enter it. I could do the lot for £20 plus about £7 carriage if interested?

Sadly he hasn't renewed, but used to be a member eboy in Bracknell....lovely bloke with an absolute mint late MkIII....and a good professional mechanic....biker too if I recall....
