Thanks for that Don.
Will do when I get Up close and personal over the weekend again.
In the mean time.....
Lube her (him) up, its gonna be a long ride.
I have to admit, this post/question is partly because I just stopped for a quick caffeteria coffee (overpriced, average taste) while working. 12.10 in the UK. So lunch time.
As part of my taking ownership of the truck, I am going through systems one by one to ensure a base line I can work from.
So headlights are still not sorted but may be over the weekend when I investigate deeper into switches etc.
The other big baseline I like to create is grease points and lubrication.
So I will do a fluids and filters exchange for new in the next week or two as time comes available.
My question is this......
Is there a diagram or "map" that shows all the grease nipples etc?
I do not want to just crawl in under the truck and pump the ones in sight full of grease. On my old Transit there were a couple on the rear diff area that were "around the corner, on top" and not visible, so if you did not know about them, you would or could miss them.
I want to get my pressure cleaner into the engine compartment and under the engine to remove some of the old oil, dirt, dust n grease before refreshing it all.
The truck will be doing a 500mile/800km trip towing the teardrop mid August, so this has to be done in my book.
As always, any tips and advice as well as pitfalls and shortcuts will be appreciated.
