Thanks I have always serviced my own vehicles this my first 4x4 and deisel so on learning curve. 5k sounds good as drive dirt every day plus 750km per week and do a low gear accent and decent mud to get to my house. Now I am getting into driving it have started exploring out the back in the state forest.

1 Suggestions for grease for propeller shaft manual suggests NLGI 2 Lithium soap Base ?

2 I am right in saying only the rear diff is lsd so two types of oil required ? can anyone confirm rear needing 2.3ltr?

Can anyone point me towards a parts catalog for ordering correct parts?
