I used EP80/90 GL5 it's hard to say as I flushed it through as I was doing it. I would guess I used about 11 litres to do the rear axle and hubs and the front axle including flushing. I did notice my axle plugs are well rounded so that's another thing to add to the list unless Landrover ones fit.

I have some farm oil 10/30 for the engine and will get some EP80/90 GL4 for the gearbox. I'm using vapormatic oils as it's what I can get hold of.

With any luck I can take it for a trundle on Saturday.

Well I made it home. Done probably 35 miles in it. The front axle has blown the seals from the portal unit to the swivel so I have filled it with power Harrow grease for now. Are these a big job to do? I presume you split it at the kingpins?

Maxed out seems to be 52 mph gps speed ~80k on the tacho. I'll get some pictures later.

Looking again I realise that 80/90 is too thick for the gearbox but the farm oil I put in the engine is SAE30 and GL4 so that will do.

These are the new internals I made for the sidelights.


And at home keeping the curtains twitching.

I love the indicator conversion, the  LED side light really caps it off :) .
