    The new VC arrived today, ordered on Monday from Ashcroft - yep I'm impressed! So back under the car I went and it is now all back together, it just needs a drink of Castrol ATF Dex 111. I was all set tonight to finish the job but the hand pump looks like it's dried out and no longer pumps.....bugger .

    Benji, I now know what you were referring to when you were asking is there any resistance when trying to rotate a front wheel !

    So tomorrow all going well, I'll be back on and off the road again woo hoo!

    Well done indeed. FWIW: A $10 rotary pump on the end of a small cordless drill does an excellent job of transferring oil into diffs /transmissions etc. Easier to handle as well

    Have you ever made a pump out of compressed air and a length of hose?

    1 - make a fitting to the cap of your desired fluid to accept your discharge hose, and also to accept a compressed air feed of some sort (a tyre valve without the innards is good).

    2 - feed your discharge hose into the bottle so that it sits pretty much on the bottom.

    3 - ever so gently apply compressed air to the bottle.

    Job done. You only need basic tools to make it. Be gentle on the compressed air otherwise you'll pop the container and get oil everywhere.

    Cheers

    Mission accomplished......it's back on the road. Now all I have to do is give it a good clean to get the red dirt off it from the W4 comp and swap back the road wheels back on again for towing the boat.
    SWMBO returns home on Sunday after a couple of weeks back in Melbourne, the timing from that aspect was perfect!

    Lol, when you said compressed air I immediately thought of 3 phase compressor, the potential is very humerous.

    Great to hear it's on the road!

    I can just picture the spray painting of everything around including the operator with a layer of transmission fluid. I'm sure it would be a hit on YouTube!
