    Blue = RTV gasket maker. I used the same on the 109 sump as I didnt have a gasket at the time (although bad idea as they can clog oil passages)

    My next lot of work is also axles, so your a few steps ahead of me

    Spent some time today listing what I may need for the rebuild as far as seals gaskets and brake parts, I also looked for radiator hoses,

    It would seem my radiator is military having an angled bottom outlet and not so common perhaps.

    Does any one have a similar radiator and know where to source hose locally at a reasonable price

    Part number 543629

    Check the hoses listed below.
    Angled bottom hose suits vehicle with Lucas Generator fitted.
    Make sure you get quality like McKay (Bursons or Repco) or Dayco (Bursons) who do really good quality (imo) flexible hoses.
    Dayco may do specific hoses too, I am not sure.

    Cheers, Mick.

    Pretty much got everything off my vehicle except motor and gearboxes.......thought I would have a look at the dreaded steering relay which had no play or notchyness but I thought I would remove and paint.

    It seems a P.O. has made a modification by adding a grease nipple........Good or bad idea?

    Rear shock has an added bracket which would have been a bit of work, when I cleaned up rear shock it turns out to be a Gabriel which is confusing because they make a shock that would go straight on original mount

    The grease nipple on the relay is neither necessary nor a particularly good idea. It will have been added by a previous owner to solve the problem of oil leaking out due to failure of the bottom seal. (Replacing the seal may have been difficult in pre-internet days with no local dealer). Grease will not adequately lubricate the fibre bushes in the relay, as these rely on oil soaking through the fibre, which grease will not do. Of course, you can always fill your grease gun with oil, but that defeats the idea of stopping the leak.

    Similarly, it is probable that the shock absorber was one that was locally available, and it was easier to make the extra bracket rather than to try and get the correct one, with no local dealer.
