Unusually for me, this is a quick reference post with no photos...
But the good news is that I've located suppliers of the correct gearbox oil and correct spec diff oil. I've posted this info on Mogtalk. There is loads about Esso ATF LT71141 on forums, and how hard it is to find in anything under 20 litre drums - and conflicting advice as to whether other ATFs can be used.
Usual disclaimers - not connected with any of these chaps, and there will be other suppliers out there - but they are hiding well from search engines.
I’ve found – and have ordered some LT 71141 ‘in 1 litres’ – minimum 12 litres, so I will have a few ‘spare’ when they arrive. The gearbox takes 1.9 litres. Cost (to me) including postage equates to £8.60 per litre which isn’t bad. The supplier is only about six miles away from where I live!!!!!!
http://www.lubricants.org/?path=catalog&top=13I’ve also located the axle oil – at Morris. Morgan use/recommend Morris antifreeze, so I’m guessing this is what the factory use……Note that most 80W/140 on the web is fully synthetic. It probably nmakes little difference, but the right spec makes more sense.
http://www.morrislubricantsonline.co.uk/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=59Now this is in 5 litre containers, but the axle takes 1.7, so changed at recommended 20k miles is ‘an OK deal’. I might change mine at 10k, because it’s quite discoloured.
Note that the handbook recommends the same gearbox and axle oil for 4/4, +4 and Roadster.
The Friction modifier (Roadster only) is here……..

Hope this helps.
