Time to change the axle seal, ugh! Not a hard job, just messy.IMG_4761.jpg

I think I only changed this side maybe 18 months ago. But lack of use due to obvious reasons I think is a killer of seals.

Ghee mate that looks pretty badly contaminated. Looks like you Ave had water in there too. Did you dump your diff oil Too? Or just jack up that side? Are you doing both sides?

Also have the old GUrl a wash.

I spent 5 years building a GQ in a shed just like that one! Ah the Old Days! That was really living!

Not a drop of water. It hasn't seen any. Lol. Diff oil is spotless too, wheel bearings are perfect and well greased still. I haven't changed the seal yet and I've just jacked up that side.

I have a genuine one but I am going to see if I can get a double lipped seal, if they are still made, and try this. When I was working for a truck spare parts place 15 years ago we used to get these double lipped seals and they worked really well.

Haha you can say that now my friend since you have this nice and big shed with a hoist. I spend the better part of a solid day lying under the Patrol repairing a few things that I had neglected to do in the past and my back did not like it one bit.

Fuck it! Looks shit! It was supposed to be centreIMG_4808.jpg
I knew I should have insisted on measurements. Needs to be across another 130mm. @ Winnie you said you wanted one. Will this suit yours?

Back in the garage it goes. I gotta figure out this electrical gremlin.
Keys out. If flick the switch for the rear lamp, the light goes on. I then select reverse and the intercooler fan comes on and also the relay for the check engine light starts to buzz.
Start the car and everything is fine.
Also. I turn the ignition on and the same relay will buzz, I start the car and it stops buzzing.

So I don’t even know where to start. Earth point is broken I’m thinking, but not sure where.

Check for rodent damage in the loom. Little bastards chew though the insulation and mash the wires together. Been gobsmacked at how quickly they cause damage.

Haha! Yeah I feel like doing that sometimes. The amount on time and money I've put into it I couldn't do it though.

Bloody hope not!
