With thank and acknowledgement to David Gore. The following statement from Castrol is most welcome. I hope that readers will observe the reason why so many of us will not switch to another fluid in a hurry as it is safety relevant. All that grandstanding by ficticious or real individuals that RR363 is just DOT 3/4, and that they have a confidential analysis that may not be disclosed, are instantly dismissed by the site David has provided. What is really important is the confirmation that RR363 contains castor oil for lubrication. The other additives are not mentioned (solubility enhancers, inhibitors etc), so let's not rush out and make home brew ! http://129.35.64.91/bpglis/lubtds.nsf/technicaldata/1E47A7DC647B628B80256C4E005B8146?OpenDocument RT.

Er, Richard, you're slipping!  This is the same document I posted last week under the "NEW RR363" thread on 11 March 9:34pm, including the weblink. It's accessed from the UK Castrol website to a french Castrol link. You must have missed my postings. GN. | |||

OK, Gordon, Quite correct. There is a context to consider however. Have a look at Swammelstein. | |||

Ignore the twit on the Swamm site.He has indeed an illness,note how his postings are getting longer more rambling on. Now the RR363 i would like to know if it really is going to be discontinued before i go to LHM with my SS1. Mark Peacock have you completed your conversion to LHM yet? | |||

Is this really J. D. doing this on Swamm? I don't have the experience of him as you do Richard and Pat, and there was obviously some conflict between you, but he didn't strike me as the sort of person to go to these lengths...or maybe I'm just naive and too generous in trying to see the good in people...the Swammelstein fiasco is very sad indeed...

Gordon; Without a doubt. If you have any question in the matter just go back and look at this sites archives. Best regards, Bill PS Sorry I haven't been around, too much going on here. | |||

Gordon,It certanly is J G Dare with his sad brain. He has tried many times to hijack the topics and in a few cases succeeded. He has sent my mind going in all directions to the point of saying things that i have regretted later. My goodness i would not want to be the judge in a court of law listening to his clever rubbish, i would sort him out and be out of there in a flash! William T,pleased that you are ok as i maybe thought the "cupping" was more severe and had had a misshap! | |||

Patrick; Thank you, for the concern. However, for tyres to cup them must wear which means contact with pavement. This winter no such luck only snow, snow and more snow (if this was not a public forum I would use a few other words for that white stuff)  . Needless to say SRE23726 is still in hibernation and as we had another 4” to 5” this am and will be getting another 6” to 10” by late tomorrow, she will most likely not be out even for Easter.  Kindest regards, Bill | |||

Pat, i think while my distribution valves on my SS2 are ok, im not going to replace the System with LHM. As the Dist valves are rather pricey !!, So, when they go , i might consider it.. The cost to replace is more than the fluid for the next 20 years !! Mark | |||
| Patrick Lockyer. Grand Master Username: pat_lockyer Post Number: 383 Registered: 9-2004 |
Hi Mark correct me if i am wrong but i thought the distribution valves were just plungers of fine tollerance within the bodys with no seals. Congratulations on your new arrival. Mine are all grown up. | |||

Pat, sorry for the late delay !! Your definately not wrong with the Dist Valves, i thought it would only make sense to change them due to age , murphy's law would have them starting to leak just after id just re-installed the box that surround the valves after i'd bled them. If i was to change over (to LHM), it would have to be a thorough upgrade, replace all parts no stone unturned !. | |||

I deleted my original posting here as it was way too long. There is an interesting argument going on at the Silver Shadow Forum on the Marinus Rijkers site under the heading of RR 363 Substitutive (Their words, not mine).Just visit:- http://www.rrsilvershadow.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=1 If you want to join in the affray, I suggest you wear protective headgear, mouthguards and kneepads.  |
