I have had a quick look at it here after getting it back to work and I can plug in the old auto shifter and remove the keys. Therefore I can see that there are two sires (black and blue) that I need to create a loop for and we're done. I have tested it and it's fine. Thanks for that. I will look at ...

Speedo says it has done 120k (bought from importer cough cough) and I had it fully serviced when we got it. Also the auto is good and has had a shift kit installed and ...

There is no oil hitting your hand when the oil cap is off. I am not really sure if driving it hard is the way to go.

Also I don't think that that includes the 4 small king pin bearings. Anyway, I am very happy with the price I paid. I am reinstalling the drivers side this morning with new rotors and seals so the whole front diff is basically refurbished now.

Hope that fixes my problems...
