Re: Diff oil
Thanks Bill, I guess it was a rather ridiculous question. I want to top up the oil in the diff but for some reason I can’t remember the oil I used, I wrote the date and mileage of filling but omitted the type, it must have been GL4 but once you start to wonder about these things, that’s it. The simp...

How do you tell the difference between GL4 and GL5, visually or any other way ?

Re: Breather systems
Stephen, you might need to wipe the oil away and from then on keep an eye on where it appears again, after gentle motoring. As I suspect it has blown all over the place when on the move at higher speeds. Weather looks to be getting better, good luck.

Re: Breather systems
Well I’ve got a slight oil leak and before I do anything drastic, I wanted the best breather system possible, to eliminate that.

Breather systems
Below is my current set up, I have another manifold to suit a PCV valve installation, would changing to this give better breathing, or at least be worth doing ?

Hope the modifications go to plan, on a personal note, and it’s just my view, it’s not worth it !

I presume he wants the 8 cwt version, with the heavier steering arm.

Re: Multimeter recommendation
You can complicate everything if you try, the above is a fine example !
I think Mr Spigot just wants to check a few electrical things on his Minor.

Re: Rear brake shoes
I was looking for some general purpose grease today, found some and noticed printed along with other stuff, that it was usable up to 5 years from manufacture date. I didnt know that !! Regarding sealed V open bearings, I’m going for open. Apparently ESM supply ones made by FAG, the sealed ones I hav...

Re: Rear brake shoes
Thanks for all comments, one more thing if I may. I’m replacing the bearing while I’m there, however the bearing I have is sealed, whereas the original was standard, I have ordered a standard bearing (open) as I think packing with grease would be better. What is the advantages of a sealed bearing ? ...

Rear brake shoes
Is this assembly correct ? I haven’t got the manual with me, where I’m working, and foolishly didn’t observe the positioning before dismantling. The left hand spring is not sitting vertically ? I think the shoes are in the correct orientation to each other ? I had a struggle fitting them, is why I’m...
