Leant it out to a mate for a week or two

Now imagine all the work you will have to do in 2 weeks lol

Changed oil, then got it stuck in a bog hole.

Sometimes it pays to get the depth stick out before you just try drive through

you could have put those lockers to use Rick

Did......
Had to winch out, hole is a lot deeper than it looked lol

Got to work yesterday and had a massive oil pool under the disco and large drips down the street. Oil pressure switch was leaking like a siv. Ended up getting a fuelmiser one from repco for now it stopped the leak at least. The old one had an o ring where this one has an alloy washer, dunno what seals better. My cousin (hilux owner) loves taking the **** out of legs under a landy, I keep telling him he's jealous because I got 4 times the 4wd for 1/100 of the price as his lol
Cheers Jim

I did mine(oil pressure switch) a few weeks ago.
Been chasing the only leak on my Tdi for a while now.
My mechanic made a comment a while before that, when he asked me if I had any oil in it!

My oil pressure switch was leaking from the front of the plastic cone shaped body. Assuming it's original, then 20-ish years, you'd expect the plastic to deteriorate in that time.
I gooped it up with a heap of Permatex silicon(some orange looking stuff I have sitting about), smoothed it out, tucked it into the front of the cone, into the spade connector .. leak stopped(kind'a).
Turns out there is a small weep from the oil pump - block gasket too(will try to do a fix) and I think a small bit from the oil filter rubber gasket too. Oil settles on top of the diff over time, so it looks like the diff is leaking.

How are your oil cooler lines? When the joints go they often leak onto the top of the diff.
