Partial A/T fluid change as per Robbie's guide @ 141500km before we head off on a 6 month trip.
Drained 4400g and 4550g back in, but a little more oil used overall accounting for a small bit of spillage. Had to wait overnight to allow the oil to cool down to do the final level check.
A big thing from my experience is letting it drain overnight as well, it just seems to drip for quite a while so it gives the best partial drain outcome.
As an attempt to keep information in the right place, and promote threads that member's might not be so aware of there are more details in the sticky area under 8 speed auto.

Good, albeit slow progress tonight.
Got this out of here.

Finished fitting the new transmission cooler to its mounting plate and installed that.

Then bolted it all up and fitted the remaining antennas

Added some tinted indicators/Parker lights to keep the white/black look flowing

Not too shabby for an evenings work with 1 working hand and no help available.

The level check is done warm @ 30-50c.Quote:

Fitted a A.B.R. duel battery monitor to the D4 today, fits quite nicely on the flat section to the left of the instrument panel. I think they are necessary to monitor the 2 nd battery, to check that is being charged, Got one on the puma and found it very good when travelling.

Yes did that, thanks for the clarification loanrangie, it's not until someone else reads the posts that you then realise the ambiguity of things you say at times. It was a warm day here, 33 deg I think, I had a bit of a late start and after getting the oil to 69 deg (well 70 actually) it took a while to drop so I just left it for the night. Warmed it up the next morning before the final check and it surprised me that it was still at 26 when I went out in the morning. Us retired people have a more relaxed schedule to these things[biggrin], well...........sometimes anyway :BigThumb:Quote:

Holy Crap! This thing hauls now. [emoji41]
I was so happy I treated it to a new UHF antenna [emoji41]
New steering wheel feels great to hand - although the left thumb grip is a little superfluous at the moment. [emoji16]
Today’s goodies included a few switches, the new head unit, and some other bits for the next phase.
