Gearbox oil change
I managed to do nothing on the R40 NUK today, but i did do a gearbox oil change on the FL2 adding some lovely new golden syrup oil.
First i jacked up the front and sat it on some wooden plates so it was high enough for me to remove the undertray. My drive slopes a little so jacking the front up to the required amount make it level Jacked up to make it level back to front and side to side. 1 Wheel off check that i could undo the level plug. 2 Crack & undo the drain plug 24mm spanner. 3 Once drain plug cracked i remove the plug with my hand, it gives you more control over the flow. 4 5 The oil comes out very quick & soon slows down to a dribble. 6 Old oil dark brown 7 Clean and refit the drain plug. 8 Remove the filler plug 9 Make sure the car is level 10 Hook up my filling pump container. 11 Pump away until i have 1.900ltr in the gearbox this is the second part 900ml 12 Gearbox full as its dribbling out of the level plug. 13 14 Filler plug back in and wipe clean. 15 Road wheel back on lower the car and take it for a run, check it when i got back all ok undertray back on job done. This is the old oil and new golden syrup oil next to each other. 16 17 It certainly needed doing even though Landrover say its sealed for life yer right, next to do is the Haldex filter.
