Lads . I have borrowed a mates 1991 6 cyl diesel landcruiser troopy to pull a caravan. He said the front diff needs topping up. Would this diff need the L.S.D. type gear oil ? Cause I drove another mates 2006 troopy up a steep track and didn't lock it into 4wd and the rear diff kept switching the rear wheels from left to right ,so the 2006 is L.S.D rear yeah?

Thanks Greg. That's a handy tip about jacking it up. Gear oil only comes in 75w-80 or 80 w-90 ? Its done 440 kms so thicker the better.

The tranny has been identified it's called "luv u long time ",but seriously My son found a tag on the side that reads "Borg Warner Trans 40". Got the service kit from Repco included pan gasket filter and filter gasket $15. He brought out the bw 35 kit, it was covered in dust he said we cant get rid of these ones any more.

Nah, We have just been given a xf ute (that's 2 xf utes and 2 Xe's now) auto 255 km been sitting for 3 years Aug88 build. Just gave the fluid's a flush and took it for spin the auto is sliping a shudders into 3 rd. Topped up the tranny fluid but it needs a service. My young fella is going to take it to school and use the hoist. He is doing Yr 11 auto. VB's quote doesn't help with the differences. The kits for the 35 and 40 are different. Is there another way to I.D iT ?

I see a manual hi rise console on ebay at the moment. It is listed as an XD one. What is the difference between a XD and XE one ?

Fugly boot's right. I have a black console to put in ,but I cant stand that corrugated rubber thing. Where do I get the vinyl one off the Xd's.?

I have the sierra tan s pack interior. But those plain vinyl door cards get a bit overbearing. I am wanting to "soften " the interior with the monty cards. All the Google searches lead me to the esp stuff. So it seems, for various reasons these 2 x sierra tan trim's would be rarer than most.
