EDIT Hi Gary if it is the VC then you might find http://www.aulro.com/afvb/p38a-range...ous-price.html of use ...read the various posts : includes info where purchased, as well as tool needed etc. I refilled the TF case with Mobil Agrifluid.. excellent stuff for the purpose.

Hoges, thanks for the link. I love your write up, hopefully still married and no more black stuff walked through the house :D. I am 99% convinced I have an open VC, whilst better than a locked VC it's still not good! I did a bit of searching on line and found Ashcroft can also have one delivered to Perth for around $600. The Rangie is starting to remind be of a BOAT. Break Out Another Thousand.

It looks like the Ashcroft ATB's are on hold for a while :(

So the car is back on the road and cleaned up after the W4 Challenge. In the end it turns out to take quite a bit to stop the p38, and was a culmination of several failures that dit it.

Front left CV Joint
Front left drive shaft

Viscous Coupling that had split, when they split and lose the silicone on the inside drive is only available in the front wheels.

How much??

CV Joint and shaft 2nd hand from LinnRover
Viscous Coupling new inc freight from Ashcroft
Tray truck towing from event to home
4 litres ATF Dex 111

TOTAL DAMAGE around $1200 :(

Will I be back for the W4 Challenge next year..........absolutely :D:D:D

Wow did a good effort. But really not as pricey as I thought those bits would be.

The CV joint and drive shaft I was able to pick up 2nd hand for $115, it sure helped!
