Just a point , make sure you crack the ird filler/level plug off first as it can be a pig !

Lol, that would be my luck-drain the oil and not be able to refill it!

Oil done, bloody ell Ian you weren't kidding when you said about the filler plug for the IRD had to use a 1/2inch breaker bar. Thought that I was going to round off the head at one point.

Done mine twice , first went ok , but second time plug rounded off big time , had to get a impact socket and it took two of us to crack it off , I did not overtighten it after the first change either , however when I went to LR for a replacement plug , I was asked if I wanted the sealing washer , I said there was no washer , any way I got one , so that could of made it worse it being missing

did you notice the drainplug has a magnet on it to trap any metal particles !

Luckily there was no metal fragment contamination. Worth thinking about the washer may go and get one and put it on as a safety measure.

Cheers once again
