Badger_1 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Having just bought my freelander I would like to check the oil levels in the IRD, Final Drive, & Gearbox. I will heve to lie under the car with it jacked up to do this and bearing in mind they may all use different oils that I will need to buy would it be cheaper to take it to a Landrover agents to get them topped up?

rustymark Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Couldn't agree more. You can easily check levels BUT be careful you can't check the levels with the car jacked up at one end - you have to check them with the car level either off the ground (ie on stands and level) or better over a pit or if you have the luxury a hydraulic lift! I managed to get my rear diff level by crawling underneath with it on ground - remove the filler / level plug and top up until it trickles out - stick plug back in. Rear diff has no drain plug.

If there's no drain plug do you suck the old stuff out or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
