Idid make it to Newbury, although in the wifes Disgay, I didn't see anyone there.

TBH some time ago i noticed the reinforcing on the rear axle casing had a small hole in,I ignored it, it got bigger.

The N/S hub has been leaking oil since i bought it, but the brakes have always worked fine so I ignored it.

The diff nose has been leaking for a while...

At the Christmas do Muckypup kindly donated a rear axle casing which has been travelling/banging around JE style in the rear tub since

As Ive been off work after a minor op (not stone related) and the weather has been good,if a little cold, I bit the bullet and stripped him down.

So, it going to be a full clean and repaint of parts, new seals,lands,bolts,shoes,brake pipes,the works, Ive even powerbrushed the rear chassis and red oxidededed it while its accessible

One thing to note is, I need bigger axle stands, 3 ton halfrauds are fine for routine **** but removal of an axle needs something taller,Machinemart do some tall 6 ton jobbies for around £40, I will be purchasing some soon.

I may post some pics of oily parts followed by painted parts followed by new parts.

Fate would have it I ended up passing a branch of MM in Pompey today, £36 later i have some big stands  ;D

I will report back on their effectiveness.

Pete, we didn't see you too.  Popped into Newbury on the way back from a good friend of mine,  thought it was a good day and got loads of tat quality stuff :)) Tried to see how much stuff we could get into the newly acquired Bingo Berlongo, not as much as first thought  :smiley-furious:

Anyway,  I got some of those stands for a pressie one Christmas and IMHO they are good stuff and a I don't think you will go wrong with those!
