The gearbox uses engine grade oil and the engine's normal running temperature is 86 C or more, so 36 C for the gearbox is minimal. Series III's are typically hot runners, which is why you have vents in the front. As Stirling said, if the heat bothers you, just put some insulation matting under the t...

Hard to say since I have never done it on a station wagon before. Guess it depends on what the contents of your box look like. If you have a look through the Optional Parts catalogues that are linked to (IIRC) from this forum you should see the various belt connections. Depending on which type of be...

Hi Dani, Well, 1. There are three differentials, two on the axles and one on the transfer case at the rear end of the gearbox (this is called the centre diff). Only one has a lock, the centre differential. 2. You can put diff locks onto the front and rear diffs, but this requires machining and is qu...

Hi Alan, Thanks for that, I do think the gearbox needs a bit of work as on tickover in neutral it is quite noisy until the clutch is depressed, presumably stopping the gearbox from turning. It is also a bit noisy in first second and third, however when in fourth, it is fairly quiet. On the plus sid...

Just to add to that. When one of the wheels, left or right, lose traction the power is output to that wheel, causing it to spin. The other wheel remains stationary. Since the Stage 1 is permanent 4WD the transfer case has a centre differential that allows the front wheels to turn at a different rate...

Hi Matt, Welcome aboard. First things first though, got some pic's? ;) Correctly tuned you may even find the Stage 1 to be more economical than the 2.25, especially if you are hauling heavy stuff. I wouldn't be too amazed at the reliability issues. I regularly take my old beast on trips of several h...

In 1979 it is unlikely that it was a Stage 1. They went into production then, but I would doubt the military would be buying them. At least I have never heard of it. It is more likely to be a later conversion of a series III. Mine is an ex-army FFR and is still 24V. I intend to keep it that way for ...
