The Old XUD DervBus Thread!

[darrenjlobb]

Right....Decided to do something with the car on my day off today...so came in from work late morning...went down to the workshop, to be greeted by the bloody sun (yes its great, but jesus i hate working in it!!)

Got going, dropped the shafts, stripped half the bay, and dropped the tranny....

Oil seal seemed to be flush, but when i fitted it it was inset...so im thinking it got pushed out....so replaced it with a new one, and also changed the drive shaft seals as they were a bit dicky...started to re assemble, but just had to give up in the shear head...galvanised roof on my workshop seems to act like an uber radiator...pure hell...

Hopefully the crank seal was what was leaking, and no the hocket seals on the far end main bearing....either way. once its back together, ill be dropping the sump to changed the oil pump spring, as well as also changing the pas pump..

Few fail photos, might spy ed in some of them also as he was working on his car outside in the sun! lol








Bit pissed off becos ive not finished it, but theres always 2moro i guess..

Need to research oil to...im not happy with this "decent" oil im using atm, seems to be causing oil leaks, etc, looking at going back to a semi synthetic 10-40 or related..
