Wish I had the time to do all that Clivvy. I'm away this weekend and next so no time for that sort of thing. Still on the bright side the bar will be very cheap this weekend. Up to the dales next weekend but doubt I'll get much chance for green lanes.

Can you take some pics of when you do your gearbox oil change so I know how to do it and I'll create a workshop download :thumb2

A good tip from an old member that was a guru of these trucks was to go for a good run to get it nice and warm. Apparently it makes the drain plug a lot easier to remove.

if you do that then wear gloves when you remove the plug or you could burn yourself

And the oil less viscous so will drain quicker, give it a little rock side to side as well :thumb2

hmm...ill have a look for one, sounds a good idea. How do you go about it, fill the suction gun then push the oil into the gearbox?
