Changing rear diff oil?
« on: April 13, 2008, 19:39:36 »
Hi there,

My Dad wants to change his rear diff oil, he can see the plug on the side to put the new in but is unsure where the plug if  there is on that you use to drain out the old?

So his question is how do you get the old out and out the new in?

He mentioned a plate or something.

Its an s reg 98 5 door freelander 1.8 petrol.

Any help be great fully received, as I am a 90/ defender girl and know nothing about freelanders. I will pass the info to him.

Thanks in advance.
Would you like to speak the man in charge,
Or the women who knows what's happening?

Landrover 90 Green (Dragon)
Converted hard top
Rear slidding windows fitted
Rear bench seats/ belts
Rear twin step
Check Plate....Check Plate and a little more Check Plate

Don't go looking for drain plug!!! there isn't one  :roll:

You have to remove plate/cover

A few people I know have added one while it was off

You can syphon out a lot of teh old contents with a pipe/syringe especially if you have warmed it up with a drive first.

I know some people have removed the plate and welded in a nut to create a drain hole.

If you remove the plate, then you'll have to re-seal it. No gasket there I'm afraid - stupid idea having no drain plug.
