no sign of drastic oil leak, fill plug was f tight, so i assume never checked in 82k miles, all box's will use/leak oil over time, when i said no oil, i mean i stuck my finger in fill point and couldnt feel any, not sure capacity but i used almost 2ltrs to bring to level.
quality main dealer servicing, not just nissan, i have to give them that.
i will do the 700 miles tomorow with 4x4 engaed but no prop, you never know the bearing may respond to some oil thrown on it.
will refit shaft next week and see how it is, ground is partched where we are so no need for 4x4 just yet.
car didnt come with 7 seats from the factory (even boot floor retainer not fitted), but has got a large gun rack installed in its place, dont remember seeing that on the options list!
have nicked rearmost seats out of old maverick, so will remove army clobber and refit, odd fabric, but who can tell when you are sitting in it?
had some weird army trailer socket, now rewired to civilian spec.
all in all still pleased with it, and the Maverick went to its new home as well this morning, so got cash back, total 18,700 miles in it in just under 10 months, not bad for a 14 year old car.
