Re: Oil
I suppose it was a slightly sarcastic suggestion Phil, re my recent discovery of apparent lubricant lifespan !

Oil
I’ve done 1200 miles since a gearbox oil change, that was 5 years ago. Should I change it again ?

Re: Diff oil
It’s beginning to look like metal containers with their lid arrangement don’t lend themselves to the addition of a plastic disc, after the tin is formed.
The plastic containers with a screw on lid, do not restrict the fitting of said disc. So maybe that is the determining factor.

Gearboxes
I have two gearboxes that I rebuilt a few years ago but have forgotten some details. I remember one has the number something 299 ? on the shaft from the bell housing, MG gearbox? The other I feel is a standard 1098 gearbox. How do the ratios of the possible MG box suit the Minor and would it suit th...

Re: Diff oil
Well I replaced the oil today, 1 litre, maybe a spoonful less, it’s difficult to completely empty the container in the position required. It didn’t run from the hole but I’m going to accept it’s enough. Another interesting or should I say disappointing thing about a tin of grease I recently bought, ...

Re: Diff oil
Thanks Bill, I guess it was a rather ridiculous question. I want to top up the oil in the diff but for some reason I can’t remember the oil I used, I wrote the date and mileage of filling but omitted the type, it must have been GL4 but once you start to wonder about these things, that’s it. The simp...

How do you tell the difference between GL4 and GL5, visually or any other way ?

Re: Breather systems
Stephen, you might need to wipe the oil away and from then on keep an eye on where it appears again, after gentle motoring. As I suspect it has blown all over the place when on the move at higher speeds. Weather looks to be getting better, good luck.

Re: Breather systems
Well I’ve got a slight oil leak and before I do anything drastic, I wanted the best breather system possible, to eliminate that.

Below is my current set up, I have another manifold to suit a PCV valve installation, would changing to this give better breathing, or at least be worth doing ?

Re: Van or pick or pick up
I presume he wants the 8 cwt version, with the heavier steering arm.
