Range Rover 2005

Hi all any way to remove gearbox top up bolt? Someone has done a oil change before and over done the bolt up. worse than that it's been rounded off,
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks Shane

Cold chisel on the rim...failing that weld a nut to it.

I don't think you have hammer room to knock in a different sized bit.

Make sure you order a new one first.

Thank you so much

You must use the correct spec stuff in the gearbox or the box will have problems, the box was designed to use a certain oil so go with that even if it is not cheep its still a lot less than a gearbox rebuild.

Ok thanks, what is the correct oil to use ?
I've found on websites people recommend
Different oils,
Any help would be appreciated Thanks Shane

I've been told that this would do the job, but now I'm more confused,

@Henry_b will know more than me.

If its an 05 td6 here's whats specification and what i used in mine,
Iv replaced my box, and tc ect,
Box currently has 36k on it. Torque converter and cooler and lines have 25k on them now,

My oldim due a filter and fluid change whenever i find time too service the motor

Is it the TD6 with GM box?

If so, then go for a Dexron III (H) ATF oil, this is unlicensed now so it isn't all that expensive, but you do take a chance by just buying the Home Bargains special uh.

The oil listed in Range Rover Workshop Manual is Texaco ETL-7045E Auto transmission fluid, but as you see from this Texaco page: https://www.texacolubricants.com/en_uk/home/products/texamatic-7045e.html - the image shows the oil defined in the workshop manual is just Dexron III (type G), the type H is backwards compatible.

Not sure if it's GM or not what's the difference?

Whatever you do, don't tell them what model you've got, it's just a cunning ploy so they can give you the proper answer!

Or how you got the filler plug out if it's the GM box it'll all be out soon.

If it is the TD6 then standard DEX III can be used/

However if you have the 4.4 boat anchor, you'll need ZF lifegard 5..
