Its a piece of mind knowing that its not all on the floor back up the road. I am not sure if stealers change this when they do a oil change ? - I presume they just plug the hole with the old one. I like to know my holes filled - say no more |

No idea but we had 4 tyres fitted at the same time and the rears are wearing quicker. |

Well, I've placed an order with Dan @ Duckworths so that I can change the following, as the 4.4TDV8 is touching 30k miles:

Karcraft in Sydney stock the oil but can be out at and given time, such as when I wanted some for my D4 although their new stock arrived in time. At this stage I don't know whether I'll retrofit/convert an e-diff to the RRV but the oil for the open diff is available locally from any Castrol supplier. |

I tried to find this today, but it's not listed in my live values. Is it vehicle specific or have you got a different version of iid to me? |

The clutch travel remaining should be there but I see your's is a 2006 so I assume its a pre facelift supercharged , don't know if that means anything . I have have an ordinary and non bluetooth iiD and they both showed clutch travel . Since changing my oil clutch travel available has stabilised at 54% so old damaged/contaminated oil is clearly very damaging . 2008 MY Supercharged

There are two figures in the manual (at least in the older ones there are)
