Quinten Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Answering my own question, it does seem to need a bolt fitted to it. It's not another reservoir is it? Looks almost like a sump plug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinten Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 @Thrustyjust, it's a surprise I have no better picture of my bellhousing, but I definitely have an RS2000 bellhousing and the dust shield from Retroford that fits it If you referred to the image in my post above this one, that's simply an image I found on the internet showing a bolt in the location where mine has a threaded hole...

Quinten Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 But I should really google before asking... It's where the reverse switch lives. Since I do not have one, and not intend on fitting one, I will stick a plug in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrustyjust Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 You will need a switch or blank or you might get oil escaping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that need something in as well? Reverse switch EDIT: realised you already answered this one doh! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tisme Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 reverse lights personal choice of course - but I prefer to give as much warning to any idiots behind me - especially in car parks as for the remote extension - I think the original plug was in there to keep all the crud out rather than oil in - I don't have anything on mine (difficult to see how you could) and no signs of any oil travelling down from the gearbox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamperMan Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 That's the sort of important question I like.. Which smells worse used diff or gearbox oil?.... They are both ... all hypoids are even when new. That really makes me sick worse than the smell is finding either there is non left, or there is something should not be stick to the drain plug.......that definitely makes me feel . . . . . The burned smell of oil from a plated diff is fairly bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
