Hi Folk's and a question

Forum: 

Hi everyone, just bought a Sport Trak (89 EL) for £100. Lovely condition inside and out except the head gaskets gone. I bought it as a project and to use as a bit of fun when it's all up and running. While the heads off i'll rebuild it and do anything else i notice.
Now the question:
I used to have a old Shogun and you couldnt run it in 4WD on normal roads due to "winding up the diff" Shok is it the same with the Sporty? i know you dont reccomend it for fuel consumption purposes but will is this the same?

Sportrak roof questions?

Forum: 

Does anyone know if its possible to remove the sprortrak roof and then put the bits in the car while you drive?

Ive never taken the roof off (only just got the car) but if the weather tommorrow is as good as today, its coming off. Biggrin

Just wondering if I can take it off, drive the 20 miles to southport, dump it all at my mums and then if heaven forbid it rains, I dont have to drive too far with no roof!

MOT failure or not

Forum: 

Hello all.....1990 2.8TD Fourtrak EL

I have a good hole on the underside of the rearsill on my fourtrak, it is beltween the door and the rear wheel arch....since these babies are chassis mounted, is it an MOT failure?

I know pictures say a thousands words but I do not how to display them to you all...so any info on that would be great to.

Oil for rear diff - 4trak F75 1988

Forum: 

Can anyone recommend which oil (viscosity) for the rear diff of a 4trak F75 1988 having done 160k?
How much is required?
Is it worth using semi-synth plus additive?

I'm also thinking of draining the gearbox, as the gear change is stiff for the first few minutes on a cold day. So any recommendations would be appreciated (viscosity/amount/additive etc).

Cheers
Mark
