Do you not get a little message telling you that more posts have been made that asks if you want to read them?

It’s a forum running remarkably well on an old platform. It’s allowed glitches

I get messages if I am typing and someone posts in the meantime

No, me as well. If I remember I look at the new posts and then usually delete the reply I was half way through typing!

I've made some spectacular boo boo's in the past

I can't recall any messages coming up at that time and I know that can happen but I did not reasonably expect someone to post one photo not saying what the item is then posting within 60 seconds aparantly with an additional photo and text to describe what it was.

So if I seen another post was up it could have been anyone not the op coming back within seconds with another post so it wouldn't have caught my attention.

Anyway mountain out of ant hill comes to mind



Calm down folks we're all friends here lighten up

Confirmation that the Land Rover gearbox I have been putting up with for ten years is finally getting replaced...


Not only obvious water in the oil, but that is a plug of ice in the drain plug sump.

Proper slush box then

Proper ****** box then !

It has been a well worn out box for ten years now.
As part of the rebuild I promised myself the gearbox was either getting repaired or replaced.
The water will have got in when I was pressure washing the grease and grime off.
I was going to drop the oil the next day, but took ill and the contaminated oil has been there sice early August.

This is a prime example of when reading a thread from the last post backwards can be somewhat misleading.

I ought stop doing that.

In a fit of stupidity I had a 1950 series one 80” I was driving in the winter with no canvas, and parking outside. Water ran off the floor plates directly onto the freewheeling section of the transfer box, it must’ve gradually filled up the transfer box over a number of weeks through the linkages because one day when I was driving it a pressurised jet of emulsified oil shot up through cut away section of the floor plate all over my legs. I stripped the box and it was absolutely fine still with no water damage.

I sold it for £16,000 soon after!!!

The water in the oil is towards the least of this gearbox's problems.
It maybe repaired at some point
but one of my (many) spare gearboxes is going in this winter.

Seeing @JOEPRO post on leccy metering got one for shed mission control - even with heater full blat, conscious is pretty clear...



Can't jump start cars with my volvo hybrid, daughter spent close to 2 hours yakking on the phone with lights and heater on in car not running!
We have 3 other VWs, had to get one comedy beetle to start another.
Hopefully this will make life easier when (it will) happen again. Decent reviews on amazon.

Sold my 80” for £500, after I’d restored it
