Gearbox oil

<< < (2/3) > >>

Range Rover Blues:
Just re-read your post, made more sense the secongd time :?

I always spill oil doing the 'box too, try topping up a 1 litre bottle to about 2/3 full and don't try to empty the whole thing into the 'box.  Otherwise yo need a lift pump, they are available, at a price.  Might treat myself though.

Transfer box had a splash of water and a tiny drop of black treacle. No oil  :shock:  That'll explain that strange noise. Now gone

Just watch for a leak around the front output shaft for the prop..........always leak on them.

That was lucky, usually takes me 4 or 5 attempts of reading what I wrote for me to understand! Thats pretty much how I filled the box but with the prop removed. Took about a 1/3 of a bottle each time
