Disco 1 What have I just done to my gearbox....

Marmaduke · Aug 16, 2018

After a long and tiring day I've just stuck a litre of EP90 in what ever hole this is in the side of my transfer box

I've got the best part of 500 miles to do in it tomorrow towing a car transporter and I'm leaving at 04:00 ish, so how long before it pukes its guts on the motorway?

Answers on a postcard please....

What do you normally put in your tbox?

Dunno what's behind that bolt but is there a prize for the nearest guess?

D1, iirc I put Ep80/90 in mine. yep, says so here.

Just open the filler hole and drain off the excess.

That's the fill plug is it not? And ep90 fine for lt230 afaik

Did you drain and refill or just top up?

That's just a blanking bolt, that hole is usually occupied by a temperature sender, you've probably over filled the oil level.

The oil level should be filled here.

Nope, the fill plug is by the hand brake drum on the back surface

When I took the proper fill plug out it was still below the level it needed to be

Why did you fill it there then

just check for excess and drain accordingly surely?
