Hi MN, to do the service you want to do will require:
1. Main gearbox - 2.5ltrs of MTF94 oil;
2. Transfer box - 2.3ltrs of EP75 or 80 - 90 transmission oil to GL5 spec;
3. Diffs - 1.7ltrs each one, EP75 or 80 - 90 transmission oil to GL5 spec;
I've just done my tranny box and diffs yesterday and I used fully synthetic transmission oil and the car runs quieter and more freely.
I bought mine at Carrefour for 8euros a ltr. Do supermarkets in the UK sell automotive oils?
Cheers
Dave

i just done my tranny and gearbox tonight, make sure you can get the fillers undone before you pull the drain plugs out. I had a game with the tranny, put a socket wrench in there and had to use me feet to get it to shift!
the gearbox is an arse too, you'll need either a 32mm socket cut in half to get onto it, or remove the prop, or a dirty great stilson.
