Eww wonder where thats gone then. No sign of a leak? 

Turns out that it was losing it from both drive shaft seals and shifter linkage seal. Seems groovy now with them replaced and another mtf top up.

Glad it's sorted mate, will be back to feeling nice and smooth again.

Back on the roads this weekend now the feckers have finally stopped putting salt down. Fresh from an mot and service - so nice to be driving the go kart estate again 😎 

 

Took a cheeky pic of the underside while it was on the ramps when I went to pick it up.. Still looking clean 5 years on from the big refresh (apart from things like abs sensors and heat shields...)

 

 

Going to give it a coat of lanoguard this year as well.. Impressed with how easy it was when I did the stepwagon

How's it holding up on the stepwagon? I probably won't bother on my MB as it's not likely to see a lot of salt but I definitely need to do my Accord, its starting to get a bit crispy under there in places. One of the rear disc shields completely fell off in my hands the other day!

Sorry, I kept forgetting to take some photos while it's light. Looking good under there still 

 

Not bad for a 25 year old van 😂
