Ahh, the joys of owning a Land Rover no 376.

Rain stopped and I managed to get the excess 1.7 litres of EP90 back out of the transfer box. Trying to get the plug back in when it was covered in EP90 was the most fun I've had in ages (got a laugh about these things :lol: ).

I had some problems while on hoiday in Wales. Started losing t box oil. So like the clever ass that I am I decided it was neccesary to check the oil half way back to home as there were some unwelcome sounds off the box (slight whine).
Not a good idea.
1st the filler plug is pretty hot.
Second the oil had expanded and quite a bit of hot oil bubbled out. The plug was also damn hot when I tried to replace it.

Would it have killed them to position the filler plug just 3mm to the left so that you could get a 1/2" extension drive in there past the handbrake drum :twisted:
Wanderer:
You can get a 1/2" ratchet in until it's loose enough to get it off with your fingers.
