pantherslover Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Ive read all of them, im not a fan of anything but they are popular books here. I always liked the story of the kids whose parents died and they needed to borrow money for the taxi to go to the hospital in Granada and then it turns out to be a complete lie. Typical of this area. I hardly ever heard the word liar in the uk or usa, there's no wonder the word is used so much in Spain. They are very deceitful people and is almost impossible to trust anyone. Every man for himself wild west style. Anyway the lr is done. I bought gl5 api ep 80 90w 18 euros for 5 litres. Now waiting on some mtf94 for the r380. It drives, i moved it forward a few feet to test it. Happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quagmire Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Congrats! Fingers crossed for the first proper outing in it! Edited February 26, 2018 by Quagmire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherslover Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Thanks quagmire, yes, fingers well crossed. I'm still held up by the mtf94. Only lr dealers sell it. Any suggestions? I've read that atf dexron can also be used. It seems to be a pretty big deal what to use. A neighbour Spanish brought me a5ltr of sae90 machine tractor gearbox oil. He said all the 4x4 people use it. I'm not convinced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherslover Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Api gl4. Wrong viscosity for a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 GL4 in the LT230, MTF or ATF in the main gearbox. It is all in the user handbook or manual if you have one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 It’s not that expensive from a dealer, or at least it isn’t in this country. I paid about £45 for 5 litres a short while back. At least you then know it’s the right stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantherslover Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 It will end up being atf because the nearest village is 14km away, they will have atf there. In happy enough with atf, it has 174000km on it about 110000 miles on it. Any main dealers are 30 to70 km away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherslover Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I did it. Atf dexron ii. Smooth as silk. If I give it some stick, which i don't really do, there is a slight wine from the intermediate gear. Now though instead of a flickering diff lock light there is none. Is there a wire i didn't connect i wonder. Thanks to everyone for their input. The moral support was invaluable I think this took about 4 months at least. Don't do it at home if you need the vehicle for work 😂😂😂😂 I'll take it out on the highway soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Well done for sticking at it and getting a result. I guess you have forgotten to plug in the switch connection. I have no details to give you except this quick search result 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherslover Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Dude, peaklander you are awesome.IIt's all there. Looks like a single wire to chassis of t box. Starting to like my land rover finally. Will be needing a wheel brace and new seats. Back under there again then for the blue wire. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tucked right down in the bottom under all that, there's no wonder he had (has?) trouble with raging torrents. ...and yes, lets have some pics of the vehicle, please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
