Haha yeah. It actaully had a very slow leak coming from under the screw. So I tightened it up and it stopped! Not chancing it though. I took the Patrol this morning. i must say I now know why the pivot ball can snap. Lack of lubrication. Before, the clutch pedal was light'ish, but it wasn't smooth, I could feel it grabbing, hence me thinking the bearing carrier was grabbing. Now, it feels lighter underfoot (placebo maybe), but very smooth.
I put 29Ltrs of Diesel in it this morning, 68 F%*king dollars! The gauge needle barely moved. Lucky I have a company car and fuel card!

Have scored out and about replacement Rycos from SC Auto/Repco/Auto One as cheap as $13.95 during Covid but the real win in my opinion is touring space saving of slimline rectangular filters stored, anywhere/everywhere, unfortunately less room for People/Picture stick mag stacks under our seats these days

Beautifully engineered ‘Black Mamba’ alloy 4” airbox Mr Mark Mate. Horribly expensive twas but replacement filters are at least 1/4 price of any say GU monstrous sized cannisters

I have the Bluetop D31M . Identical to yellow top except it's marine grade . But the only reason I went Bluetop it's for extra bolt posts.
It fits, but slightly on a angle in the tray as you can see in the photo possibly.

Timely. I'm looking for a new aux battery.
The CSR killed my 2nd Super Charge. Killed one on the Anne Beadell, killed the other on the CSR.
They don't seem to like corrrrrrrruggggaaaattttiiiooonnnssss.
Was thinking of going Optima, they have a pretty good reputation for strength & reliability don't they?

I run 4 D31 M batteries, just changed two in the van after 12 years . One was just starting to show signs of failing so replaced them both. Have two in the Tryhard, one start and one auxiliary both have been in there for around 8 years Only problem ,well not a problem is that the biggest you can get is 75 AH . Never had a problem, the ones in the Tryhard have covered around 200.000 Ks and alot of that has been in hard country. The van ones have been on some pretty hard country as well and would have traveled around 100.000 Ks .I wont buy anyting else. Yes they are a little on the expensive side but I`ve had good value for money. Price wise try R and J Batteries, I got the best deal around, alot better that any deals on EBay
The Marine ones are as tough as nails, built to withstand the bashing around in boats. The M in the part number stands for Marine.
