freenelly Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Hi All My first post here , after an unfortunate Gearbox failure resulting in a £1100 repair bill for a recon i have sifted through this and other forums looking for posible weak points with my 2002 td4 Freelander. Gearbox well it is the Jatco auto and yes i did miss the oil change at 60k and it failed at 70k so i do feel guilty , looking around the question of the Crankcase breather came about so i changed it . The Lander wasn't suffering any of the symptoms i have read about but i think prevention is better than the cure , it is an easy job as mentioned on here by several of you . Are there any other points i should look out for ? i have done the oil and filter ,fuel filter have installed a k&n air filter i even changed the EGR Air Filter. What about the rear diff oil ?

Blippie Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Our Camel gets a complete oil change every service - gearbox, IRD and rear diff. The TD4 gets services as per the service schedule - which often means top-ups rather than drain and refills. Have you checked your VCU?
