I just bought the Foxwell NT204 for my wife's MY14 GC Overland in case we need to clear codes when away. Well, it doesn't work - it powers up but will not communicate with the GC. I had trouble...

I've been looking at a whole lot of how-to pinion bearing replacement stuff, and one symptom my diff does not have is any play in the prop shaft to suggest that the pinion bearings are shot.

The dial torque gauges on eBay vary from $15 adaptors (you stick it between the ratchet and socket I think) to $500 1000lb-ft dial torque wrenches.

I've been quoted $750 to rebuild the D30, drive in, drive out. The D35 I had rebuilt in my last XJ was much more expensive, about $1500 incl a new driveshaft. So $500 for a used D35 is not bad at...

Trying to work out bearing noise

I've been flat-out with work and have not really given the XJ the attention it needs. I thought I had a damaged transfer case so had it overhauled (found bits of metal when I dropped the TC oil).

NP242 damage - has anyone ever seen this before???

Hey guys,

Ever since I bought this XJ a few months ago it had a consistant rumble from about 30km/h to about 80km/h, beyond which wind noise would take over as the primary noise in the vehicle.

I did replace the 3 filter adaptor o-rings while I was there as the adaptor-to-block join was leaking. But this is something else, the adaptor-to-oil filter join that's leaking. I took off the filter...

Thanks mate, really appreciate it. It's such a basic job, one that I have never had a problem with. Maybe I've become too blase about it. I tried tightening the oil filter a little more on the w/end,...

Oil filter housing o-ring

I changed the oil in the XJ a couple weeks ago. When I removed the old oil filter, I noticed a thin, large diamter o-ring in a groove on the housing. I chucked it out, thinking it had stuck on there...

Here you go. I've played with shadow and exposure settings on this pic (it was pretty dark and didn't show much) and as a result you can really see the panels I've buffed. I did maybe 3x 400 Heavy...

I'm getting quotes of about $1000 for labour so far. A bearing and seal kit is about $200 or less landed ex-US, the chain another $50 or so. Call it $350 for parts. That's getting really expensive.
