But, if you want, your welcome to bring it up here, I have all the tools out as I have mine in pieces and I'm about to do all the fluids and filters and grease nipples.

We have approximately the same gearbox according to google. Mine has no PTO but has the access panel for one on the transfer case.

Thanks Tim.

Time and skills (or lack of) mean we usually use a place in town so I think I will do that and get a full service as you say. I would like to do some work on it that isnt urgent so if you're okay with it I may get in touch latter on with a few ideas

There is a photo a page or so back... No plastic that I have seen...

I think the term for a 3B engine with 250k on it is 'just broken in?'

Ha it is the best advice I have gotten for this pruchase! Finance, the Missus, time to do checks, all had to line up before I could go ahead
