Degsy Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) Can someone help me I am looking to replace all the fluids and oils in the M35 a2 I have just bought, what and were can I get them ? Engine Straight 30 grade such as Morris's classic Gearbox transfer box Straight 90 (not EP) such as Morris's AG90 Axel As above Radiator antifreeze Your choice Brakes I assume you mean hydraulic fluid, again your choice but don't mix DOT5 with other specs. Wheel hubs Front hubs/ rubber gaiters are filled with grease and are a total abortion. If there is any oil present it is coming from the front diff and the relevant oil seals are fitted well inside the axle tube and can be awkward to remove Too much grease in the gaiters will result in them either splitting or slipping out of their mounting clamps, too little and the uj's wil fail.

Degsy Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 You're welcome Alec, I forgot to mention Morris's will have a stockist in your area and it is normally cheaper to buy from them rather than direct from Morris Oils. May I suggest you join the Steel Soldiers forum which is where all the M35 guru's reside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teletech Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Steelsoldiers is indeed the place for M35 information, they have a section with all the relevant technical manuals you can download.

Big Al Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 Right here is a few questions I hope you would be able to answer. I have a new brake master cylinder to fit I have been looking at the brake fluid which the manuals say Dot 5 silicone it is expensive compared to Dot 4 ect were is the best place in the uk to get it and how much would I need to fill the system? Before I do the above would it be wise to flush the system first, if so what would be the best and safest material to use I have had a look at some classic car sites they say methylated sprits ?
