Under the bonnet

[Ren Dao]

Does anyone know if you can get to the grease nipples for the UJ joints on the drive shaft on a V8S from underneath the car.

Also where exactly is the gearbox oil level checker screw thing - and Yes you've guessed it - its my first TVR maintenance day - so far I have vaced all the little stones out of the front bonnet section - reckon I'm ready for my engineers degree now

I think you may need more than a degree in engineering to grease the u/j's on your car. It doesn't have any. ps I hope you have the car on axle stands before you start crawling about underneath it, they are not usually included in a cheap tool kit.

Don't the prop shaft UJs count?

Thanks - Can I get at them from underneath the car?

You'll probably be able to get to the back one but the 'silencer' box will probably be in the way at the front.
