Thanks Tonk 4x4 for the info, also plan to drop oil from main & transfer gearbox, front & rear axles, coolant & replace aux belt. Any tips on undertaking these tasks? I want the Silver Streak Disco to have major service. Once done I'll know that it's been all done at 40k. Await your reply. With Thanks Iain.
Autobox = Make sure you can undo the filler/level bung on the front face of the auto sump before draining
Manual = Use torx bit make sure you can undo filler/level bung on the drivers side of the gearbox
Drain Oil
Autobox = Fill untill dribbling out the filler/level bung
Start car and run through all gears holding in each gear for a moment.
Return to neutral and fill box untill dribbling out filler/level bung
Repeat untill once you have selected neutral and it is dribbling out of the filler/level bung.
Manual = Fill untill it dribbles out of the filler/level bung
USE ATF for both auto and manual boxes.
Transfer box.
Undo 1/2" Level bung at the side of the handbrake drum
Undo 1/2" drain bung from lower edge of transfer box and drain oil
Once drained refit bung
Will with EP80w90 gear oil
Refit filler/level bung
Axles are done in the same way use EP 80w90
To drain coolant remove plastic disc from engine under guard nearest the front of the vehicle
Using 13mm socket/spanner undo drain bung (Becarful if the water is hot!)
Once drained refit bung.
Fill Header tank with 1 gallon of neat antifreeze (Red Type for TD5)
top up with plain water untill full.
With engine running.
Using bleed screw on top hose in the engine compartment drain out any air.
A good sign all the air is out is that it is blowing warm air out your heaters when you switch them on and also there should be a small jet of water returning inside the neck of the header tank
Fan belt remove radiator cowling remove viscous fan 36mm nut normal thread direction
Using 15mm spanner from memory on tensioner remove the tension and slip the belt off. (Draw a diagram of belt position on the pully's first)
Re fit new belt
fit viscous and rad cover
job done
