Just checking out all the different things on the stag, and found an oil pot thingy in the side panel on the right hand side of the boot area. What is it for?

I was trying to find the rear window wash bottle to fill up, still haven't found it lol

Any ideas on both?

The bottle in the rear is your ATTESSA system fluid, (for your 4wd) and the rear washer bottle is the same as the front washer, looking at the enginebay from the front, there should be a yellow cap with a long elongated S shape tube, on the left, near the battery, that is the washer fluid container, well the top of it.

I dunno, but it the car hot/cold? I bet if you check it after driving it around for a bit and then stopping that the levels would be fine, as that fluid is compressd when it is used so the level would drop......?

BUT Then again I really wouldnt have a clue eh, just guessing, wait for Alex or Brad or Gary for an answer from a knowlegable source :)

Thankyou :happy:

With the ATTESSA Fluid, the level is about 1cm over the max line... this can't be good...??

hey kylie thats normal, u gotta check the fluid level with the car ignition turned on and it will drop to the correct level. its just drained back up abit when ignition is off.

cheers

when you guys says its the ATTESA system does it means the transfer case? Cos i want to check every fluid in the car. I dont trust those Kamilaze guys.

First of all the didnt fill the coolant resovoir tanks. Engine oi is fine. Power sterring fluid is over filled i check it when its cold. I want to check the transfer case, gerbox and the diffs. Does it means that i have to jack the whole car up and also the car is so damn low

Ah sorry mate, the reservoir in the boot is just for the Attessa pump system, which pressurises the clutch pack in the transfer case. The transfer case oil is separate.

Ok so what kind of oild does it use? Gearbox oil? hydralic oil? or diffs oil?

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
