Nicely done! I need to do this on my V8 soon, so you've served as inspiration as I was not looking forward to this job. The only thing I would do differently is installing a Sonax Zip Kit whilst the Mechatronic unit is out as well as a metal gasket instead of paper. Keep an eye on that gasket for leaks!
I was dreading this job, easily the biggest I have undertaken! I am still living in fear of the leaks. The only part of that kit I was unimpressed with was that gasket. I’ll upgrade the gasket when I have it off to change the filter next. Good luck doing the job, let me know how you get on. If you get stuck in on Instagram with the same name so bang me a message and I’ll get back to you.
Excellent how to mate. Couple of questions... i. How did you torque the screws under the cross members correctly? and ii. How moch oil did you manage to get in altogether?
Hi mate, hope the video helped. Under the crossmember I just guessed it as I couldn’t get a torque under there. From memory I got about 5.7ltrs of oil in.
Great video, Keep them coming, I enjoy them :) Has for them meski bolts under the cross member, You could use a bit set that fits a 10mm ratchet spanner.
I did think about getting a low profile ratchet but I had already broken the gearing on my 1/4 drive trying to get the fill hole open and then had to buy a new 3/8 drive as I broke that one in the diff video, so I was £60 down replacing the tools! My wife is understanding but to a point! So I just had to do those bolts under the cross members the hard way.
Hi mate, no didn’t have to remove the cross member to get the sump plate off. I cut the filter neck off with a hack saw and replaced the original filter with the britpart sump and filter upgrade kit. Much easier. The bolts are fiddly with the cross member in the way but very do-able. Each step of the process is shown in the video and the products I use are in the description. Good luck!
Hi mate, that’s not a job I have had to do yet, my understanding is that it’s quite easy to do. Should just in bolt however if the last person that had it off used a bit of sealant as well as a gasket could be a bit trickier to get off. Good luck
@@johnedwards7118 wow and was this first time the oil been changed on yours? Mine is only at 119k and the shudder is apparent and the revs indicator moves up and down from time to time. Mine hasn’t had the oil changed yet but I would thought the symptoms wouldn’t come at around at least 150-170
@@miroarva1424 I suspect that was the 1st time my gear oil had been out, I am actually looking to change the oil again in a couple of months as this only gets 60% of the old oil out so now it’s had a good mix I’ll drop the oil out again and refill just to ensure the oil is too quality in there. Good luck with the change, let me know how it goes. I’m on insta with the same user name if you have questions or get stuck DM me on there and I’ll get back to you asap.
John, can I please check - have you used any adhesive silicon for gasket when applied on the sump? I only saw you applying a grease. Is that sufficient to hold and make sure it doesn’t leak?
@@miroarva1424 hi mate no I only used grease to help keep the gasket in place when lining it up. I have been underneath a number of times since doing other jobs and there are no leaks.
Great video , just bought the JGS kit so interesting to see how well it went for you. Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks mate, good luck with yours

@@johnedwards7118 If you had a Po Box, I will send you some PPE, Oil and grit in the face and arms is not nice, been there loads of times.
Hi There... A really great video description... Do you after remove the cross member to get the sump and filter out??
Plus... how did you get the car level?? Thank you..

good job! Thnx for share
Hope it helped buddy! It’s a pig of a job but the truck is running lovely now!
Thanks very much for showing that!
No problem! It’s a tricky job! Good luck
Do you no if the engine sump cums off easy I need to replace my gasket?
