Disco 2 Td5 auto gearbox oil change

Hi guys. I want to do an oil and filter change on my td5 auto but just want to check if I've got the right service kit.

How do I know what gearbox is fitted? It's an 03 td5 auto and I've found this service kit.

Is that The correct oil?

Also when refilling is there enough room to get a funnel and a pipe in there or will I need a device to pump it in?

it would do, you need a t27 bit to remove filter screen, and you can only drain 4.5 litres out by removing drain bung, atf dexron 2 or 3 if fine its basically the old rrc box, you need a pump or pressure sprayer to fill, you fill as much as you can with engine off, then loosely fit plug ,start engine with box in neutral and carry on filling till it over flows out of level/filler plug

What do you mean by a t bit? The guide I saw said the filter is just held in with 3 Torx bits.

Also, what sort of pump would get the job done for filling?

Cool, seems a simple enough task then. Just need to get me a pump of some sort

a cheap garden sprayer would do

@hipwell

This might help, I do not have an auto so no idea if it is correct or not, but his write ups do tend to be useful.

Was thinking of doing mine but having never done one was a bit twitchy, anyways just watched this on youtube and seems fairly straight forward apart from the snapping bolts bit
looks like I'll be having a go soon.

@hipwell
This is what I got to to do the job with....

I took the metal tube end off (or yellow bit in this picture) and replaced it with a bit of flex tubing I could poke into the fill hole. It's pretty slow, but then at least you don't end up blasting ATF all over the shop if it slips out.
