Some issues

<< < (2/3) > >>

Yoshi:
OK, is it an easy job to do? cos its slightly fixed, before i topped it up it was still having bother when warm!

skucera:
Easy?  On most cars it is, but on the Range Rover you have to pry the frame rails apart to get a cross-member out of the way before you can drop the transmission's pan.  So, no, it is a real pain by any reckoning.

If the "mostly fixed" is good enough for you, then of course you don't have to fix anything.  It's your car, not mine.  Me, having heard what a pain it is to pry that cross-member out, then to put it back in again, I'll probably pay a shop in town to change my tranny filter.  That's saying something because I haven't taken any of my cars into any shop in seven years.

Also try dropping the oil in a week or so and replacing it again, a large quantity is trapped in the torque converter and doesn't come out, so your box is not full of new oil, ever.

Yoshi:
OK, bought 8 litres and only used 4 to fill it up, so therefore another 4 should be fine lol

Range Rover Blues:
Yeap, I found that too.  At least 3 liters stay in the T/C sp you have about enough for another change.

You can get the filter kit from Britpart stockist for around £14.  The exhaust and crossmember are a bit of a pain to remove but the worst bit for me was that the new rubber seal was a little too small and wouldn't stay in place whilst I refited the pan.  Also do not over tighten the pan screws :shock:
