Mack, when the vehicle is cold get underneath it and give it a really good wipe clean high up on the box close to the diff lock linkage just so we can look for witness marks.
take it for a spin and let it stand. Fairly common leak is in the area close to that linkage, but sometimes a wrong diagnosis can be a real bitch to the wallet. ****CENSORED**** |

Don't leave it too long before sorting it OR checking the oil level. I had a leak spotted by the Dealer at my last warranty service. Because they were busy and understaffed due to sickness they delayed doing anything for 6 weeks. Told me to use it as normal each time they rang to postpone my workshop appointment. Eventually a Big Bang when travelling at 50mph, and side of transfer box gone. Vehicle still driveable but new transfer box fitted at no charge. So beware. LANDYWATCH

Thanks for your replies mate. I was away for a few days on a job, left the rig parked at home. No leaks underneath. Took it for a spin, was parked uohill for a few minutes while at the store and a few drops appeared. Im a bit short on time but I dont need the rig in the following days. As soon as I have some spare time I will clean it underneath and check it out. Ill keep you posted mates
Cheers Mack |
