Well done mate
Thats outed the 'Hocus Pocus' that exists around the subject.
I’ve always had the suspicion that most failures would be a case
of cooked oil.
Did you allow any particular amount of air inclusion, or just
go by the weight of oil between those two amounts?

Whats the going rate for a replacement VC these days?

512 euros exchange from busschmeide, did´nt worry about the amount of air just the weight, i think mine had 283 grams and others had a bit more and a bit less, we cant tell the difference, cost me £40 to do mine so at the end of the day even if it doesn´t work you haven´t lost much and if you think about it most of the vc`s out there are contaminated with gearbox oil to some degree and they still work, maybe not as well as when it was new but i´ve never felt a new vc and probably never will, from what i hear from Aidan the quality of "proffesionally" refurbed VC´s has gone through the floor so its just a case of getting a few mates together and getting on with it

Hi Jason,
did you get your silicon oil from the same place as the seals?

Rich

a friend of ours sourced everything through IG 16 in germany as they had just done a load, im trying to get hold of a few sets as we speak should know more in a couple of weeks, the oil on dieselkontor.de is 100,000 viscosity which is way too agressive unless you have a decoupler and only use 4wd offroad, i used 60,000 and that suited me just fine, i think i heard talk of the originals being a mixture of 25,000 and 60,000

rich- where are you on the south coast

What beer do you recommend ?

tuborg but it has to be brewed in denmark, maybe it would be a good idea to try different brands and see if there is any diference

I'll try becks and see how it goes !!

I think it's time that the FlybyNight Club got it's act together once more and had a bit of a visco session. Atlantis is now grim to park on tarmac and I don't want to break anything.

We need the seals everything else is in place

Excellent!
