beast5680:
having been asked if i can service a friends range rover classic i have a couple of questions
there is a temp warning light coming on when he tows where is the switch, its a manual 200tdi is this common?
what grade of oil goes in the gearbox and the transfer box with the viscous coupling

ta muchly

Range Rover Blues:
The little gears that light up are probably the gearbox temp switch, mine's located on the pipework to the gearbox oil cooler, under the passenger's end of the rad.  Not sure the TDi has a gearbox cooler so you might need to check a manual :-k.

Gearbox will be DextronII as will the Borg Warner transfer box.  You need loads and IIRC the T-box take more than the gearbox :-.

BTW, my LSE has a BIG V8 and my caravan is 1,900Kg, I NEVER see the gearbox temp warning light, I checked it wasn't bust.

beast5680:
cheers for that , i,ll have a look at the weekend and see why its coming on

R Bates:
I've got a 200tdi manual and there isnt a gearbox cooler on them. On my mates 200 manual disco the gearbox temperature  warning light comes on with the hand brake light!

ChrisV8:
Has the Borg Warner got a thermal switch like on the P38 ? Could be someone has swapped the transfer box maybe. ?

I run Difflock synthetic in my gearbox with Dextron in the transfer.
