Hi Spike and welcome to the forum.
You will find a whole host of 'experts', 'been there done that's' and 'ooops don't do that' people here! All ready to give you advice on any Dexta problems you may have.
It's worthwhile getting familiar with the workshop manual and parts list that are available on the forum and also try using the search facility as it surprising how many topics have already been covered. All are a very useful source of information together with the other members advice and support.
Also please make a note of the casting codes so that your Dexta can be added to the register. Some pictures are always useful as well.
Have you put in a fairly accurate location (nearest city) in your details as this could be beneficial if members want to contact you or offer a service.
Welcome again.
Regards
Jerry

Hi Spike. Sorry to plug these videos again but they are nothing to do with me. In the drum brake video he covers changing the rear hub oil seal and wheel bearing. This bit is previewed on youtube at about 4 mins.
Hope that helps
John
