Filling the gear box

(1/2) > >>

500bhp:
I plan to replace the gear box oil in my 93 Disco with Dextron ATF as it has normal EP90 in it at the moment. Has anyone tried using a garden spray pump to fill the box instead of trying the daft bit of plastic tube that comes on the ATF bottle??? :shock:

gords:
I got a UMETA 1 Litre Oil and Fluid Transfer Pump from Difflock when I did my oil changes (gearbox & transfer box).

Considering where the filler holes are, I found it very useful!

thermidorthelobster:
I did it once using an old washing-up liquid bottle, suitably cleaned.  Fill with a funnel then squirt;  repeat many times.  It took quite a while, so I got an oil syringe, which makes life much easier altogether.

This sort of thing:
Machine Mart Oil Suction Gun
Screwfix Oil Suction Gun

You can make one from an old mechanical fuel pump (think Ford, not Rover).

Wanderer:
I ended up going the machine mart way. One with Ep90 and the other with ATF. It makes life nice and easy.
