While you are under there clean off the mud/crude from the area around your shift/transfer levers

Thanks, yes and some WD40 to make the low box and diff lock lever work smoothly, found that out at the weekend. It hadn't been used and was stiff at first.

LOL, you knew I was going to ask that

yep, most would ask

do a search ffs!!

seriously though, search in busters guides, he has done steps for it all with piccies.

busters-photo-tour-landrover-repairs - Land Rover Zone

gearbox also has an extension plug to undo.

use ATF Dextron 2/3 for the lt77 or mtf94 for r380

Also check your breathers on the axles and box, make sure they work and aren't bunged up.

Last question, I dont intend to change the oil myself, just check it has some

Will it be OK to top them up with the stuff already mentioned. I dont know what is in them at the moment.

That is what confuses some. So they put a M or manual on the label.
