Phew ! Thanks Rick, I had visions of me draining and refilling again.

Ooops, have I done that right ? I put GL4 in the gearbox and dexron 111 in the Transfer box? I looked on the comma website and I am sure that is what they said?

Fixed ! Thanks for the help fella's, second hand box is in and seems to run fine. Only bit of concern I have is that the oil I drained out of the Transfer box was far far thicker than the Dexron 111 that I put back in. If anyone is looking for a used but good transfer box I have one for sale...

I know this subject has probably been brought up a number of times but I am still a little confused. Firstly, I am having trouble understanding some of the terminology. When talking about the engine and transmission, I see terms such as .. Gearbox, Transfer Box, Diff front, Diff rear...

Lol, that's just what I was looking for, brilliant, thanks buddy.

I know you lads like the new fangled up to date phones with all the whistles and bells, but, take a look at Carphone warehouse. If you walk in with a PAYGO sim card which you have owned for more than (I think) 6 months, you can buy an upgrade to an Huwaei (I can't even spell it), brand new for...

Thanks buddy, I'll just have to label them as I remove them. Have you any Idea how I set the front torsion bars to the correct setting when I put it all back together or is there a thread you can point me to that explains ? cheers

Great ! When i strip all the selector gearwheels off, do they all come off individually?, I only ask because I have visions of them falling all over the floor and not being able to refit in the right order. I've taken a number of photo's but even with those images I am willing to bet I will...

Hi 96terrano Yes, I did knock them out and the forks are now free, do I have to remove the first two bearings on the end of the shaft and then strip all of the selector gears off to be able to split the two halves of the box . Or do the 3 carriers rods slide out of the patch plate between the...

Hi Buddy, all I can tell you is that it was red, it smelled like gearoil but looked exactly like ATF. Stripped the front off the box today and found a loose roller from a bearing and quite a bit of brass scrapings. Still haven't worked out how to free the selectors (which are in excellent...

Thanks for the replies chaps. Just to confirm, YES, the gear oil was/is RED. The joints between the gearbox and the bellhousing have been sealed with a white silicon substance and even the bell housing to engine surface was coated with silicon as was the starter flange. Haven't managed to work...

Brill photo's mate, that helps a lot. Now for the 10 million $ question, are the interior parts available anywhere ? I have seen the overhaul kits on line which include bearings and gasket, for £98, however, I don't know if that covers all of the bearings in the box. Also, as I have already...

Hi Yes, I was trying it in 2wd only, though I did try it in the other options as well. I have ow started stripping it down. Drained oil, two lumps of steel attached to sump plug about the size of a currant and a fair bit of brass shavings in the oil. Have been offered a second hand one with...

Hello everyone and thanks for letting me join your forum. I've got an "L" reg Mav which has developed a G/Box fault. It's always had a noise (whine) from the gearbox since I bought it 6 months ago. However, yesterday i was towing a horse box (30 miles), got it home no probs and reversed it up...
